XingCheJiuPin Wine Specialty Store L'Etoile Vin — Songshan, Taipei $$
In the morning, I first went to Ding's home to pay my respects and offer incense for Brother Jiaming's final journey. Life is all about fate; it's enough that we had the chance to meet and chat freely. At noon, I had a meal with Pat, Elton, and Kyle at Nong Lai nearby. Lately, my reflections on life have grown deeper—when there's a chance and time to gather, let's gather as much as possible. Thanks to my brother for picking up the tab. After the meal, Pat went back to the office for a meeting, while I found a very quiet little shop in the afternoon to sit down alone and order...

Taipei Minsheng Community Huaguo Private Kitchen Liao Family Banquet | iCheers Wine Nest $$
On a Sunday morning, I went out for a walk to grab some brunch (and wine) and ended up at this place I hadn't visited before. Chatting with the staff, I found out it's run by the son of the owner of the Imperial Hotel. That conversation suddenly made me crave the aged steak from the hotel's Empire Steakhouse, so I ordered their 'Imperial Beef Noodles' from the menu to satisfy the craving. When I went to order a glass of red wine to go with it, the server brought over two bottles of Bordeaux. I asked which was better, and she said both were probably good. Well, in that case, I might as well have a glass of each...

Taipei Shen Bei Zi Shipai Concept Store La Copa Oscura $$
Spent the day wandering around the Beitou and Shilin (Tianmu) area. La Copa Oscura, which focuses on Spanish wines, opens at 1 p.m., and I walked in right on time. After me, four different customers came in one after another—all women. They have a wine guessing game in February; guess correctly and get another glass. I took a sip, noticed a distinct plum flavor, guessed right, and got a free glass. Then I went to a shop where the owner has a WSET Level 3 wine certification and works as a contact for a Spanish wine importer...
-
Wine Dot Wine Shop, Tianmu $$

Had lunch with Wic at one of the branches of You Sushi. He also wanted my opinion on a new product his team is about to finish. Thanks for the treat, Wic! He and Xiao Min even gifted me a bottle of red wine. After the meal, since it was near the Taipei Fine Arts Museum (my 3rd visit), I went to check out the new exhibition. Around 4 PM, I came to 'Long Ma He Jiu,' a place that's been popping up on my Facebook feed lately. They have a promotion from 3:00 PM to 6:00 PM: 9 glasses for 999 NTD. At that price point, I initially thought...

Taipei Minsheng Community Area - Gam ve Gam Ling Jiu Xuan Wu $$
Got off at the wrong bus stop and stumbled upon this little shop in the Minsheng Community area in the evening. The shop offers some Mediterranean products and spreads. Additionally, starting from 2:30 PM, they serve wine by the glass and some Israeli spirits, giving it its own unique character. I was handling some things on the phone while drinking. There are just so many places in Taipei; it feels like I'll never get to try them all!

The main store is near Shipai Station, but you don't have to go that far—there's also a branch here in the Daan District. It focuses on Spanish wines and cuisine and opens as early as 2:00 PM. After lunch, I came here and ordered an afternoon wine set, which included one white, one red, and one rosé, each 50ml. The rosé from Romania was quite nice. There were also some tapas snacks. The winter afternoon sunlight streamed through the window into the room, feeling wonderfully warm and cozy.

Taipei Xinyi District Tiens le vin Wine Cellar $$
Yesterday, I went to Insieme, an Italian wine bar recommended by Leticia, only to find it was booked for a private event. So, I had to end my visit early and head home. To make up for yesterday's disappointment, after a meeting at the World Trade Center this afternoon, I visited two new spots in one go. The first was Tiens le vin, which just opened in June. The owner, Cristal, worked in the wine industry for 15 years before opening her own shop, as she wanted to build a custom temperature-controlled cellar.

-
Taipei Jinan Rd. JYS French Wine $$
I ducked into this shop on Jinan Road to escape the rain at night. I asked the female manager if they had wine by the glass, or I could open a bottle. Unexpectedly, she said they had just held a tasting on Saturday and had a lot of leftover wine. She invited me to sit down and finish them without charging me. I was truly surprised, but since I was already there, I shamelessly and naturally took a seat. Faced with a dazzling array of 13 Bordeaux reds and 3 whites, I slowly worked my way from left to right, tasting 25-50ml of each, and managed to drink all 16 wines...

I met with Zhenghong, whom I hadn't seen in over a decade, and also stopped by the 6th floor to say hello to Shinong. Finally free this evening, I managed to squeeze in an hour of golf practice, then went to Ren'ai Road to buy a whole box of Cuban cigars for a friend. After dinner, I came to JLK and used my accumulated points to exchange for a glass of ginjo sake. Sat down to slowly enjoy...
