The first time I walked into The Wine Shop I felt like I was a kid in a candy store. The Wine Shop boasts a vast array of wines, meats, and cheeses. Shops with fine wines, fromage, and charcuterie are not easy to come by in Penang...and even more importantly...with a decent price tag. Bottles here start at around 60rm.
The wine room where you can choose bottles may be intimidating if you do not have much wine knowledge.
You can try a varietal tasting, trying Chardonnays from Burgundy, Australia, New Zealand, Chile, etc...
Or a side by side variety of varietals tasting while sticking around the same vintage date
Whites: Pinot Grigio, Sauvignon Blanc, Riesling, Viognier, Chardonnay, etc....
Reds: Pinot Noir, Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Shiraz, Sangiovese, Tempranillo, etc....
Maybe you are a fan of Australian Shiraz, but always stick with the same region. Do a side by side tasting and try to see if you can tell the difference in the variety due to where it is being grown.
From The Wine Shop's wine dispensing machine I picked a Clare Valley 2013 Shiraz from Australia, and a Australian Shiraz from Heathcote 2013. Both displayed different aromas! The Clare Valley displayed faint hints of blackberry and baking spices, while the Heathcote Shiraz's nose was pronounced with intense aromas of lush black fruits, black pepper and pine needle.
In this tasting I chose two different white varieties, a New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc, and a Australian Viognier, both around the same vintage.
The scent of these varieties are obviously different, but the fun part comes from feeling the difference from the mouth feel when tasting the wine. Give it a try and see which do you prefer...the high acid refreshing Sauvignon Blanc, or the full bodied velvety soft and creamy Viognier.

The Wine Shops's house wine is always changing, what you try one week will be different the next.
The Wine Shop offers a huge selection of wines from the old world and new.
You'll find bottles from France, Germany, Italy, Spain, & Portugal
As well as, Argentina, Chile, California, New Zealand, Australia, & South Africa
Here's a look at some of the bottles you'll find.
Pinot Gris & Gewürztraminer from Marlborough New Zealand! I'll have to try these bottles next time.
Request a card for the wine dispensing machine, add credit to it, and start tasting.
There are 3 different sizes for pours, and the wines available in the dispensing machine are always changing. If you see something interesting and want to give it a try before dedicating to a bottle do it! Or else you might not see that bottle in the machine again for some time.
Order cheese and meats by platters or by grams. Even though the prices are stated by 100g, you are welcome to order below that amount.
Cheese, meat, and wine always puts a smile on my face.

ReplyDeleteWell, we are happy to say that we have tested that theory many times over the years and can confirm, the Tuscans are onto something. Chianti can definitely use some time aging and it indeed benefits. red wine
