TALK of Super Tuscans may bring dazzling images to the minds of some, but during a night of heady oenophilia, delicious Italian wines, not delectable Italian men, were the subject of a seminar hosted by Celliers d’Asie at the Angkor Palace Resort & Spa on September 16.
More than 70 Siem Reap restaurant and bar staff listened to Tuscan wine representative Guillaume Blanchard’s presentation on the regions, varietals, denominations, food pairings and terroir of the wines from a market that is often under-appreciated.

The young are becoming more interested in wine"

“We’re trying to improve the wine experience for Siem Reap,” says Scott McNeill, the Siem Reap branch manager for Celliers d’Asie, a wine wholesaler that’s been present in Cambodia since 1993. The seminar is part of a series in Siem Reap.
“This is just the beginning,” says McNeill. “This is part of our work to support the community and bring good quality wine to Cambodia.”
Blanchard represents noted Italian winery Castello Banfi from Montalcino in Tuscany, north of Rome. Italy is the second largest producer of wine in the world and of the 4000 known varietals (grape varieties to non-winos) more than 1000 are grown there. Tuscany is home to the world-famous Chianti, a wine that developed a reputation for mass volume and indifferent quality in the 1970s and ’80s.
But today’s Chiantis are far superior, says Blanchard. With a growing tourism industry, the market for wines in Cambodia will increase.
But producers and distributors are also very interested in the growing domestic market here. According to Blanchard: “The young are becoming much more interested in wine, and we’re very keen to improve their understanding and experience of wines.”
The phrase Super Tuscans was coined in the 1970s to differentiate those wines from the same region that used different varietal blends – not to describe the descendants of the model for Michelangelo’s David.
After the seminar, more than 130 people joined the Celliers team for an evening drinks party at Nest, where Patrick Charb played solo saxophone as guests enjoyed canapés and several selections of the Banfi estate wines.

Thats why Indian Hindi papers are very popular in all corners of India.
The benefits of having high thread count sheets is that mills are forced to create much finer threads
in order to increase the amount of threads
in a square inch (keeping in mind that they don't also increase the ply). The cache of mummies of high priests of Amun at Deir el-Bahri has also yielded a large number of private coffins of the 21st Dynasty (1069 945 BC). 'There is no middle way for Americans,' they write. Studies about Egyptians lend itself to activities such as mummy-making,hieroglyphics tablets or Egyptian jewelry.

Be sure that the oil doesnt get direct contact to your own hair scalp.
Apparently, it actually lifts up build up from the
root and therefore stimulates hair growth. I confess that I was a little
bit skeptical at initially. All-natural oils such
as olive, coconut, and avocado oil can be used as wonderful hot oil treatments
for hair. * Lavender Oil — prevents further hair
loss and improves the health and quality of the hair.
