Flashermac Posted November 19, 2010 Report Posted November 19, 2010 Ah, for my days in publishing when the hotels invited me over to help drink up their arrival of Beaujolais Nouveau.
tartempion Posted November 20, 2010 Report Posted November 20, 2010 I brought my own wine: 2 bricks 5 liter each, one red one white
Flashermac Posted November 21, 2010 Report Posted November 21, 2010 Ah, I'd forgotten about that. An Aussie colleague used to buy it in quantity. Said it was much cheaper that way.
USVirgin Posted November 21, 2010 Report Posted November 21, 2010 Ah, for my days in publishing when the hotels invited me over to help drink up their arrival of Beaujolais Nouveau. I read something like this on Dean Barrett's website, about when he was editing the Thai Airways inflight mag. He said that type of job got you no respect in journo circles, but a lot of free flights and the hotels loved you. Sounds like a fair exchange to me!
tartempion Posted November 21, 2010 Report Posted November 21, 2010 For those living near Udon Thani there is a wine shop in Bang Chiang hotel and a French guy running a deli shop: www.udon-delices.com

I knew Dean back then, when we were both younger and really "hansum man". I even wrote a bit for him in the 1980s. He owned the publishing company that did the inflight magazine, and one of his tricks was to make sure he had the next issue he was working on laid out so the hostesses would spot it. Sly bugger he was.
Torneyboy Posted January 12, 2011 Author Report Posted January 12, 2011 Found it today in a damn box...795tb for a three ltr box...a bit cheaper i noticed in Villa on Suk the other day..got this one from Big C..
The_Munchmaster Posted January 12, 2011 Report Posted January 12, 2011 TB, I've yet to find a "good" wine in a box. They are mediocre at best, which is why they are cheap and sold in boxes.
Torneyboy Posted January 13, 2011 Author Report Posted January 13, 2011 Any bottle of "good" wine is over 1000...the 300 700 range are petrol..imo
