yeah we like expensive stuff

We decided to have a dinner party thingy prior to our wedding ceremony as a thank you to our international guests that are coming (which is only about 3 right now haha).  When I heard that Kabinett was having a wine event we were both keen to get there and see what was available.  If you missed it, Pieroth may be hosting another event in the winter so check the site again.

Neither of us really knows that much about wine and are the type that don’t really want to spend the time researching it.  We like what we like and hope that it matches well with whatever we’re having.  Nor had we been to a wine tasting before.  We were happy that it wasn’t too busy when we arrived and very happy that a rep came over to us and helped us the whole time.  Unfortunately the wines that we really liked were also the most expensive even at the whole sale prices (ie 85 000 KRW for 1 bottle).  But it was great to try them and get a feel for it.  They had lots of wines that were around 20 000 KRW.

The other wonderful part was that we could purchase mixed cases… and so we did.  We are now the proud owners of 28 bottles… oh wait, we drank 2 last night with Melissa from Expatriate Games and had half of one at the house before we went there… hmm, 7 months till the wedding… hope I can keep my fingers out of there that long!

AMENDMENT: Going there, sampling, choosing, and pay are all quite easily said and done.  Actually getting your wine from them… well, not all the kinks have been worked out yet.  As in, 3 phone calls, 1 email, 1 delivery attempt and fail, then a successful one, then another phone call to get an actual list of what it was that we purchased to be emailed to me … sigh.  Such is customer service in Seoul.
