The Refactoring of the World of Ong

It's been almost 10 years since I last posted on the World of Ong and I have been playing around with the idea of blogging again. This time to write about User Experience(UX) and general thoughts about design. I may throw in a Photo Essay every now and then or a story from my travels. Possibly even write up about Bordeaux wines as I learn about them. Lets see where this will take us.

Wine Blog: Matrot Monthelie Rouge 2014

Tasting Notes (6.11.2018)   Rating: 7/10   A light  bodied red wine. Dry in the beginning but subtle sweetness after it breathes. Tastes of cranberry and very sweet aroma of red fruits and rose. Possibly better with a light meal. Overall a pretty balanced red light red. I  can totally see pairing this with a thick, dry aged, bone-in ribeye with an herbed butter. Burgundy – although enjoyable, I still prefer a Cabernet Sauvignon. But I actually like this better than the  Côte de  Nuits  Villages Burgundy.   Summary   Winery   Matrot   Vintage   2015   Region   Côte de Beaune   Appellation   Monthélie   Regional styles   Burgundy Côte de Beaune Red   Food pairing   Beef  · Game(deer, venison) · V eal  ·  Poultry   Cost   $39.00 (paid $ 26.90) ...

Wine Blog: Pierre Meurgey Côte de Nuits Villages "Aux Montagnes" 2015

Tasting Notes (6.11.2018)   Rating: 6/10   Note that this is the wine that broke my proverbial Burgundy Cherry, so I have nothing to compare this to, but first impressions is a very dry, tannic, light bodied red wine. "Sucking on a cinnamon stick without the cinnamon bite" is the one phrase that sticks with me.   I can totally see pairing this with a thick, dry aged, bone-in ribeye with an herbed butter. Burgundy – although enjoyable, I still prefer a Cabernet Sauvignon.   Summary   Winery   Pierre  Meurgey   Vintage   2015   Region   Burgundy    Appellation   Côte de  Nuits  Villages   Regional styles   Burgundy  Côte  De  Nuits  Red   Vineyard   Aux Montagnes   Food pairing   Beef  · Game(deer, venison) · V eal  ·  Poultry   ...

Wine Blog: Enclos de Viaud Lalande de Pomerol 2015

Tasting Notes (6.17.2018)    Rating: 6/10   I got burnt out on Merlots. This is a good wine if you like them, but for personal taste I gave it a 6. The black cherry tartness stands out but there is sweetness behind all of that. This is a  well-balanced,  medium red full bodied wine. I suggest with spicy greasy heavy meals.  I can totally see pairing this with a thick, dry aged, bone-in ribeye with an herbed butter.    Summary   Winery   Enclos  de  Viaud   Vintage   2015   Region   Bordeaux   Subregion   Libournais   Appellation   Lalande de  Pomerol   Regional styles   Bordeaux  Pomerol   Vineyard   Aux Montagnes   Food pairing   Beef  · Game(deer, venison) · V eal  ·  Poultry   Cost   ...
