Château Meyre Haut Medoc: Classic Bordeaux style blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot Year: 2003

Clearly the bottle of Optima 2002 tasted last evening was drinking better than the other two selections tasted approximately at the same time; possibly due to the year or bottle variation.

The new St. Regis Hotel in Bangkok could not be more different than the original hotel, located at 55th and 5th Ave in New York City, although it is located in the prime area of Radjadamnri Road across the street from the Royal Sports Club race track and is designed in Thai-style. The objective of His Majesty and the Club was to introduce and promote the quality of horse-racing and breeding in Thailand, while providing sports facilities of international standards for Thais and expatriates. Occupying a prime spot on Henri Dunant Road the prestigious and private Royal Bangkok Sports Club holds horse-racing events that are open to the public every other Sunday.
