You have just broken the record by being the first person affiliated to the restaurant featured in my post to comment here. I believe, one must be fairly confident in order to clarify any posts on the blog and you certainly are confident and have your objectives very clear.<br /><br />Yes. I have reiterated many times that Wines are the biggest attraction at Hakka and they are at affordable, down to earth prices. I can tolerate only about two glasses, and the enomatic machines are heaven sent. It was actually through wines that I became interested in food.<br /><br />Perhaps one day Hakka might organize some wine tasting, probably staring with the varietals first. Describing wines and the ways it interact with food would be like describing the thrill of a first passionate kiss. You'll never know until you experience it, otherwise it's just a load of descriptive, bombastic words.:DParanoid Androidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10783707466113456374noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6024444139091950430.post-4981116296127972922009-08-22T11:57:10.539+08:002009-08-22T11:57:10.539+08:00Thank you for your very considerate article.

Our objective is to be a very good Wine bar with an excellent bistro offering good quality food at reasonable prices. We are NOT a fine dining or gourmet outlet although we feel that some of our specials are quite good. Next time you are here try one of our Burgers or our Steaks.<br />The wines on the Enomatic change quite often and the next time you are here,try our tasting portions. As for our desserts, we will improve the choice. Once again, many thanks for your balance. We love genuine well considered criticism as that is the only way we will know what the market wants.

What impresses here is the artful combination of wine and food which elevates the taste of the food to a different plane.<br /><br />Lovely place, if you are into wines. If you are aching to try the Bodegas Rejadorada, or Krug Champagnes this is the place where they offer tasting portions.

Here's where you will get blown away. Beca...OK. Here's where you will get blown away. Because the wines are dispensed from enomatic machines (read my previous post), they are charged by the glass. The Champagne was still bright and bubbly!<br /><br />Wine ranges from 19 to 200 per glass/tasting portion.<br /><br />The wines I tried were 37 to 44. Beats purchasing the whole bottle which will be about 300, I think. And you get to try many varieties.Paranoid Androidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10783707466113456374noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6024444139091950430.post-71049872333469931282009-08-21T11:35:37.790+08:002009-08-21T11:35:37.790+08:00so how much on average for those wines???
