Wine by Chris Urbano – Price Range 2016

Dear valued customers,

Our website has been updated to reflect our new price / range for Wine by Chris Urbano in 2016.

You can check out / download the 2016 catalog here:
Wine by Chris Urbano – 2016

Aside from the improvement in our graphic design, most of the range is subject to a modest price increase (although some are actually priced lower) to reflect cost of living increases, and underlying demand.

This change will also provide us with flexibility to bring more specials and promotions over the course of the year, and increase our discounts for larger orders bulk order, from March 1:

  • 5% standard discount off will apply to all orders of 6 wines or more (use ‘buy6’ at the checkout)
  • 10% standard discount on all orders of 12 bottles or more (promo code ‘buy12’ at the checkout)

Time to restock those cellars!

All you need is love.. and wine.

On a date? Swinging single? Or hanging out with friends?

With or without plans on Valentines, it’s always a good time for a great bottle of wine! Check out our special offers exclusive for Valentines:

rosetta

Celebrate Valentines with this excellent bottle made from Sangiovese. With its gorgeous salmon pink color, this rose is a great match for appetizers and seafood. With sultry flavors of cherry fruits, raspberries, and strawberries, some musky floral lift off the top. It’s outstanding with light cheeses, cured meats, but is a refreshing ‘all-rounder’ that works with most food or served alone.

sangiovese

Bring a bottle to your date that’s sure to please! This is all about showing the robust yet approachable side of Sangiovese, it’s made for drinking day or night. The nose has a smoky streak with red and dark cherries, bracken and woody spices, some fresh, earthy complexity too. The palate is classic Sangiovese in that it bursts to life with vibrant, crunchy cherry flavor and delivers just enough savory tannin to get the appetite firing.

prosecco

Order some bubbly and make it classy!
Who needs Champagne when our sparkling Prosecco tastes just as good? What’s more, it’s less expensive than Champagne! Prosecco is a perfect pre-dinner drink and an excellent pair with seafood. Order this best-seller you’ll surely enjoy!

Chocolate alone doesn’t cut it anymore! Check out our swoon-worthy valentines wine packs:

Chris and Anton team up to review your fave restos

herorestoreviews

He knows food, he knows wine – what a formidable pair! The dynamic duo of Chris Urbano (Maputing Cooking) and Anton Diaz (Our Awesome Planet) are off on gastronomic quests to uncover the most delectable dishes and exquisite food pairs in the restaurants of Metro Manila.

 

Calderon Makati, Salcedo Village

Their journey starts off in Calderon Makati in Salcedo Village. This Spanish tapas bar and resto offers tapas, paellas, sopas, and pasta among others.

lengua  chorizo and cheese  adobado

Chris’ favourites

  1. Lengua con Setas – despite being a cream-based dish, the gamy texture of the meat paired surprisingly well with the red Pizzini Sangiovese.
  2. Esparragos En Aceite de Olive – perfectly paired with the white Pizzini Arneis.

Anton’s favourites

  1. The chorizo and cheese dish
  2. Lamb Adobado – when enjoyed with the Pizzini Sangiovese, the lamb actually tasted sweeter, which made for an interesting food pair.

Smith Butcher Bar and Grill, Makati

The next quest brings the duo to Smith Butcher Bar and Grill in Makati. The specialty steakhouse gives its customers a personalized steak experience with its collection of dry aged wines flown in from Japan, Australia, US and Europe – proudly displayed in a “meat museum” room. Posh but friendly, and beautifully decorated with handcrafted furniture pieces, there are very distinct seating areas channeling different moods – for the perfect dining setup for wine/bar drinkers, big groups, romantic couples, friends, colleagues and family.

tunatartare beefcarpaccio japaneseomni

Chris and Anton’s Favourites

  1. Tuna Tartare – a must try. Enjoy with the Pizzini Rosetta to cut through the fat of the tuna
  2. Prime Beef Carpaccio – flavors enhanced by the Manchego cheese pair. Enjoy with Philip Shaw Wirewalker Pinot Noir or Chrismont Tempranillo
  3. Japanese Omni – only the best Wagyu from Japan. Pairs perfectly with the All Saints Cabernet Sauvignon.
  4. French Fillet Mignon Tenderloin – lean but tasty. Better paired with a lighter red like the Philip Shaw Idiot Shiraz, though it worked with the full bodied All Saints Cabernet Sauvignon because of the blue cheese.
