UnsnobWine 2: Hakka Republic

Howdy peeps, it has been a week since our first wine tasting meetup at Cubes JayaOne and we hope everybody enjoyed the session as much as we did. Thanks to everybody who came and I'm sure you are all looking forward to our next session.

First things first, we have decided to name ourselves (quite shamelessly) Unsnob Wine. Remember, you are part of something revolutionary, or at the very least, fun and educational.

We have set up a facebook page here which will be updated with random infos about wines and wine tasting ideas. Feel free to share your thoughts as well as photos or videos of future events on the page.

We are also happy to announce our second meetup:

Wine Tasting Theme: International White Varieties

Mingling Theme: Most memorable wine experience

About the price. During our first pot-luck tasting, we realised that many people did not get to try the same wine due to limited supply (1 bottle for 25 pax?!). We therefore would like to try out a new format where we try to balance between the quantity and variety of wine during the tasting. Any proceeds we receive will be rolled over to the following meetup. Fair?

There will be a competition to guess what price is each bottle of wine. The winner will be the person whose guess is the closest to the actual price. He/she will receive another surprise present (Gosh....).

As for the venue, Hakka Republic is one of the most talked about places in KL. It is itself a Wine bar and restaurant combined which serves splendid food. They are also the first in Malaysia to have an enomatic wine dispenser which could keep opened bottles fresh for up to 3 weeks, pretty cool if you ask me.

But to me, the most attractive thing about Hakka is its ability to bring friends and family together over a great meal accompanied by splendid wines. (Trust me, they are quite selective on what wines they would like to sell) A big thank you goes out to Sue who is kind enough to let us use the place.

So guys and girls, please RSVP either by sending an email to mr.shaunlee@gmail.com or through our facebook page here.

Again, don't worry if you can't make it this time as we are hoping to get a wine group going. So drop me an email anyways and I'll keep you posted of future meet-ups!
