This indie film opens on June 12th in NYC with a few grandiose opening parties featuring the cast and crew drinking even more than they are in the movie! Look out for it, and note the Singha’s in hand!
This is probably the first movie with people drinking Singha that doesn’t have a plot line relating back to Thailand. If you know otherwise, tell us!
See the synopsis and pretty pictures here.
So an American expatriate living in Tokyo reviews a wine from Thailand. That statement might make you take the review with a grain of salt, but the review is for www.eRobertParker.com and the writer is a part-time wine educator for Tokyo’s Academie du Vin…sound convincing yet?
Here’s her review:
Siam Winery Monsoon Valley White 2007
Thailand
Retail price: 1365 yen

This wine is made predominately from the locally grown Malaga Blanc grape, which judging purely from tasting, I suspect is not entirely vinifera. Nonetheless, while the presumably hybrid nose / flavors are unusual they’re also appealing. There is an unique, medicinal, somewhat eucalyptus aroma to this wine complimenting the lemon and savory seaweed nuances. The light to medium bodied palate has crisp acidity balanced by a touch of residual sugar (though still a dry style). Medium finish. This could go very well with Asian cuisines and I for one can’t wait to taste a bottle with a plate of Pad Thai or a bowl of Tom Yum soup. Drink now. Tasted August 2008.
Pretty nifty. Read the reviewers other top Tokyo wine picks here.
So Singha has made it into the hands of 10 year old punks! in the form of a t-shirt anyway. he will learn of the crisp, sweet and malty body of beer soon enough.

Michael Jackson once wrote about Singha. He wrote in the World Guide to Beer, “Thailand has a quite dry, hoppy, flavorful lager, Singha, to go with its delicately spiced foods.” Believe that.
He left us last Sunday, but will forever talk to the minds of new beer sales people with our office copy of “The New World Guide to Beer,” which isn’t going anywhere.
One of the best things about working is seeing new and strange accounts in new and strange lands. Right outside the DC metro in Falls Church, Virginia lies this wonderful music and food joint called Bangkok Blues. It’s a must for anyone who loves everything Thai and good old American blues…at the same time. The live music, the Singha beer and the wonderful beer snacks – Thai style – makes you feel like you’re at some Bangkok pub again. Ah, the Bangkok blues. And don’t forget to check out the rock ‘n roll Last Supper mural on the brick wall outside!
We’ve made some new friends down in DC and we’re having a party!
Join us for the TwoMundos Magazine party at Mai Thai in DC on June 7th. We’ll be at the bar.
