The idea behind the wine lab is to allow wine drinkers to taste through an array of styles and form their own opinion about the taste and aroma profile of each bottle.
In this exercise, there are 12 classically-styled wines from our portfolio – a mix of white, rose, red, sparkling and sweet – from the Old and New World. Some will be young, a few with several years in bottle, and also a couple mature wines.
Our team has created a tasting sheet to record your notes, which can be later compared to our own interpretation. A glossary with many important wine terms will be used as an aid.
The tasting and discussion will take around 90 minutes, and after this activity, you will be more comfortable to select wine styles of your preferences, while we can be informed about your palate, and hopefully service you better.
To book please:
Email order@cloudwine.asia or
contact us via LINE cloudwinecommons
The available slots will be between Wednesday and Monday from 4pm to 9pm; starting this July 1.
Set at thb 1,000 per person, with thb 500 used to credit for your future purchase. We can allow maximum 8 persons per group.

Bangkok, California, central coast, domaine de la cote, evening land vineyards, oregon, quince, rajat parr, sandhi wines, siri house, united states
We have been working with Raj and his wines since 2015. Initially only Sandhi Wines, then Evening Lands from Oregon and lastly also with the Pinot Noir specialist Domaine de la Cote. Each year, we grab the tiny allocation for Thailand, and are pleased to present them to you with the winemaker, communicator, author and sommelier in tow.
If you are a wine buff, you might know Raj from the Netflix documentary #somm. But his efforts was really to push a new style of Californian wines by helping set up IN SEARCH OF BALANCE, a small collection of artisan-grown wineries, that believed in “the more subtle, nuanced wines” of the Golden State. Now ceased to exist. But his efforts continue in the vineyards around Santa Barbara.
Join as at Siri House in Soi Somkid, where Raj will be happy to meet and share his knowledge, love & passion of wine. To book please call 094 868 2639
Talk & Tasting 7pm to 8pm at Jacqueline
At Jacqueline, a bar located on the 2nd floor of Siri House, Raj will discuss excerpts from his latest book “Sommelier’s Atlas of Taste” and also taste 3 of his current releases including Sandhi Wine from the Central Coast and Evening Land Vineyards in Oregon.

In the 2018 article BEYOND BURGUNDY by Jancis Robinson MW, she mentions “It is no longer the case that the Côte d’Or has a monopoly on fine Pinot production. A new documentary film called SOMM3* (in which I was invited to participate), includes the story of the Judgment of Paris, the 1976 blind tasting of Californian and French wines whose results upturned the assumptions of the global wine trade. In the denouement of the new film, Fred Dame, a leading American Master Sommelier, along with Steven Spurrier, the veteran British wine writer and instigator of the 1976 tasting, and I taste two very smart burgundies and a Pinot Noir from southern California blind. Spoiler alert: my preferred wine was the American, a Domaine de la Côte from Sta. Rita Hills.”
Tables can be booked at individual times. We hope to meet you there.

Some good friends from the far reaches of France have arrived in Bangkok! From Maury and surrounding area, this part of the South is extremely isolated. Off the beaten path seems almost too kind.
But like the few newcomers to the area at the foothills of the Pyrenees, Carrie & Marcel, are carving out some fantastically wild wines from the textural and saline Macabeo, as well as Syrah, Grenache and also Lladoner Pelut or hairy Grenache. The French authorities have recognized Cotes Catalanes as an IGP, which helps to distinguish the area from the larger Roussillon region, however when organic growers, ferment naturally, and age their wines different, the last resort may just be a Vin de France classification, which as you may know, if now brimming with some of the best names in any region.
There are two events in Bangkok on Nov 19th 2019
Taan, Siam @ Siam Hotel. To book call Tel 065 328 7374. 10 course meal with 4 wines. Marcel who takes care of the vineyards will explain his work through Chef Monthep’s meal. Probably 6-8 seats are left.
Carrie will be at Cocotte, offering their full range including 3 reds and the sweet fortified Maury. To book please call Tel 092 664 6777. You can pop in to taste the wines by glass, as set, or with their specialty cuts of beef.

Bangkok, bierzo, mencia, raul perez, spain, wine garage bangkok
We love to work with individuals, who are in tune with their respective terroir. But of course some of these creative spirits always evolve, step by step, or as with Raul in leaps and bounds – such is their nature.
Born and raised in Bierzo, an area known for hilly valleys, and nearby Santiago de Compostela; this secluded region is loaded with soil rife with granite and slate, and is influenced by the Atlantic ocean. Raul creates several red wines from Mencia grape, which can be fragrant, delicate and fruity but also structured and tannic depending how it has been raised; there are camps that call it the “Pinot Noir of Spain”, while others are reminded of Cabernet Franc.
This fine entry-level is named Ultreia Saint Jacques. An easy to understand style by the whole-cluster wizard and Mencia specialist. The Decanter explains it was “fermented with natural yeast in old oak tanks using 100% stems and no temperature control. It undergoes malo in tank and then spends one year in old barrels. There’s no remontage or pigeage, and he works without sulphites.”
For us this vintage is less acidic as normal, and could blindly be guessed a floral Cotes du Rhone. Raul will visit Bangkok around 3rd and 4th November. Please contact us for planned events with him and Eulogio Pomares of Zarate.
“This is one of the best values from Bierzo and Spain, and a great introduction to Bierzo. It’s a more serious wine than what the wine was when it was first produced, fresh and elegant. It’s very reliable and a great value.” 93 points by Luis Gutierrez writing for Robert Parker.

Bangkok, iron balls, iron balls parlour, rye, thailand, vodka
Iron Balls stands for those that “GRAB LIFE BY THE BALLS”, like its creator, Ashley Sutton; a straight-talking modern day pirate and non-conformist innovator.
Ash is a whirlwind of creative, kinetic energy. Originally from Fremantle in Western Australia, this prolific interior designer has made a name for himself in Bangkok, Hong Kong and Tokyo and is intent on conquering the world.
Having grown up in a family of sailors, he still thirsts for a carefree life on the seas; spending as much of his free time as possible on board, and diving below, his boats: BALLS & INFAMIS.
Ash and the Iron Balls distillery pride themselves on using the best ingredients and distilling methods available. That’s “why we didn’t piss about or take any shortcuts to produce this ballsy vodka”. It is made from winter rye sourced from East Germany. Five times distilled; first through a series of columns at one of Germany’s oldest distilleries, and finished in a copper pot still in the Black Forest. A bold vodka with a smooth finish, for those searching for something more than your everyday spirit.
For night owls and spirited friends, we recommend a visit to Iron Balls Parlour. Spend some time with Top Brass – Carson Quinn, and who can teach you a thing or two about mixing one these delicious cocktails.
