Macau Soul - A Portuguese wine paradise

Nice Portuguese wine lounge near the Ruins of St. Paul's (大三巴)!! 

We opened a bottle of Quinta do Crasto Douro 2008 Reserva, I am no expert in wines but what I can only tell is this is a blend red wine with 35 grape varieties, which is produced by one of the very best wineries in Portugal. You could tell from first sip it's a wine to enjoy but not to drink. It is full bodied, intense, complex and fruity in taste, and very smooth to the palate.

The owner David told us Macau Soul is the only place in Macau that sells this wine. It only costed us MOP350, which it's normally sold at over HKD2,000 in restaurants in HK!! Such a great value of money for this quality! The prices for other wines (only Portuguese) are friendly too. You could get a good wine at under MOP200 and spend an evening there. But I'm sure you will not limit yourselves to only tasting wines coz. they have delicious home made food, and generous portion of cheese plates too! 
This is David decanting the wine (he and his wife, Jacky, are enthusiasts in travelling and photography, and of course in wines too!).

We managed to ask for a Pecan and dried fruit cake served with double scoops of homemade vanilla ice cream and a splash of Jack Daniel...omg...speechless!


One last tip, call in advance to visiting to make sure they are open and make reservation. David and Jacky run the lounge themselves but this lovely old couple travels a lot!
