It's only 12:15 at Chaweng Beach on sunny Koh Samui, temp about 28C, not great red-wine drinking weather except in air-conditioned environments, but I've seen the offer and if I hadn't already bought direct from Majella I'd definitely go for this one.

I'll be back next week and as well as updating my own site I'll be posting some Thai food and Australian shiraz experiences on the Food and Wine forum, our evening dinners for 2 ranged from 90 baht ($3) for take-away market-stall food to over 9,000 baht ($300) for dinner and Gosset NV champagne at a 5-star restaurant perched on a cliff-edge overlooking the sea at a 5-star resort.

Koh Samui is dull. Pattaya is where all the action is

Charweng Beach is so hot right now...

Whoops, wrong forum!

Brian, you'll be pleased to hear I took an 03 Seppelt Chalambar to my local favorite thai during the week and was very pleasantly surprised at how well it went with a Panang current and stir fired chicken and cashew nuts.

Didn't compete with the heat at all and didn't inflame it any further. It all got along very nicely, in fact. First time I've tried a red with Thai and it won't be the last now.

Hi Kris,

Well done, we'll have you hooked soon, the Chalambar is a good choice.

My next campaign might be Italian with Malaysian food The restaurant in KL last night (Bijan) had a couple of not outrageously-priced (compared to the other wines on the list) Barolos and we drank a Pio Cesare Barbera d'Alba 2001 with our meal, it just had enough fruit to go nicely with the milder dishes we chose. They had the 2002 Wirra Wirra Church Block listed at about the same price, but it turned out to be the lesser (IMO) 2003 vintage, so we punted on the Italian.
