The VineyardOriginally posted by breytonhartge:Interesting... have never heard of them before... its a sea side town, wonder how they grow grapes?
Simply put, the best wine comes from the best grapes. Using our years of knowledge and unprecedented experience, Amphorae experts sought to find the perfect vineyards to produce our wine.
The vast amount of our cabernet Sauvignon comes from selected vineyards in the Golan Heights and the Upper Galilee -- relatively cool climate regions yet differering in their teroir. From the volcanic soil of the Golan Heights to the Terra Rosa of the upper Galilee, each of the vineyards gives the wine its own unique input.
At Amphorae Vineyard we do our own planting to ensure high quality in the future. We picked the perfect spot in the Upper Galilee at 650 meters above sea level. We planted 10 hectare with Cabernet Sauvignon, Shiraz, Chardonnay and Vigonier. The staff at Amphorae vineyard have devoted their expertise and passion into making these grapes worth waiting for.
Part of our vineyard program includes also organic grapes to make organic wine. Fortunately the winery is located at the heart of Makura ranch, which is an exclusively organic ranch. We planted Merlot in the ranch in a unique spot, where cool winds from the sea gently flow through the vines. We anticipate that within three years we will have a world-class organic Merlot.

came back from the game sometime ago
we won 2-1
we started the game and quickly put in one goal
the thais play acted a lot, with three feigning injuries within first fifteen minutes of the game
the thais committed a lot of fouls against our team, but which the referee ignored, he is a Malaysian btw (hint hint about the semi finals)
the second half started, there was one crucial foul committed againsts our team midpitch, which our team started to point out and was equally stunned
damn thais took this chance to have two team members facing our keeper (who is alone) and kicked in one goal
damn
last minutes, somebody committed foul in penalty box, resulting in a penalty kick for the Lions
damn thai keeper refused to play, and whole thai team went off the pitch and threatened to boycott the game
fracas lasted for fifteen mins, but they eventually came back and our guys scored a goal
surprisingly, despite the odds against the Lions, our team played quite well, i mean, they took the ball away from the Thais easily, and despite the foul which caused the second goal, they had that sense of professionalism to continue playing, unlike the Thais, who just threatened to boycott
i heard the Thai team is the best soccer team in ASEAN..
i am sure this fracas will last for few days, hopefully, AFC will slap the whole Thai team including the coach with disciplinary action -
Thanks Vince for the information on the wine.

The Thai team is one of the best in ASEAN. We haven't been able to beat them convincingly. According to this morning's papers, the last time we beat them on home ground was 1977.
So the National Stadium closed its gates in victory, albeit controversially
I think we have a good chance at the title. -
Really?
I think the atmosphere in Thai stadium will be murderous, damn tough crowd to perform inOriginally posted by sillyme:I think we have a good chance at the title. -
Small chance onlyOriginally posted by choco B:Really?

I am not sure about the football league in Thailand. I think the S-League did help to bring the level of footballl up. Some more we have foreign "imports"Originally posted by vince69:actually, the Thai team manager seems to agree with you on this, that the Sgp team may win the cup.

I think we are decent, just cannot be complacent. Fortunately, Noh Alam Shah is in form. Indra seems to be finding his feet. -
Some friends keep shouting Preciouuusss
I tot we had a hobbit on the pitch
Turns out to be our African defender

hmm actually its true that the ref's decisions was controversial, heck, he ignored so many fouls committed right in front of his eyes
but then again, its unprofessional to walk of the pitch like that
ban the Thais

was the ref a singaporean?Originally posted by sillyme:The referee is really kayu lah... you can see that he lost control of the match...
Hey sillyme, how goes the prep for the wedding?? -
Ref is a Malaysian. They shouldn't put someone whose national team just lost to one of the finalist as referee. very hard to not doubt his judgements...Originally posted by breytonhartge:was the ref a singaporean?
Hey sillyme, how goes the prep for the wedding??
my prep ah? not so bad.. the major bookings, e.g. photographer, venue, all done...
now left food-tasting, gather helpers, and guest list... i think guest list is the major headache
never had i listened to so many christian songs at one go... needed to choose them for the wedding ... -
all the very very best! Shalom and shalom!Originally posted by sillyme:Ref is a Malaysian. They shouldn't put someone whose national team just lost to one of the finalist as referee. very hard to not doubt his judgements...

Food tasting is fun... best part. What are you having on the menu?
With the songs... been there done that... would not like to do it again... tiring. Even though you like the songs. Are you doing a bridal waltz? Have you learnt your steps yet? -
