I always suggest trying local wines with local foods. But what we want to choose when it comes to Thai food? Is there such a thing as good wine, Thai?

The country is famous for its wine production. Enhusiasts wine is probably one of the wines have Siam. Some time ago I had the courage to take the bad taste, wine dish to try Siam - I was disappointed, to say the least.

I was recently offered a glass of wine in Thailand is a luxurious resort on theAndaman coast. Given my previous experience of Thai wine has filled me with fear. Well, I firmly believe that we try everything once (or twice, in this case ..) so I decided to brace myself a glass of wine in Thailand.

To my relief, I found unexpectedly good wine. Nice, fruity aromas with hints of smoke - all in all not a bad glass of wine.

It turns out that this particular wine is produced on the back of a vision provider. His name is Dr.Plya Bhirombhakdi. Dr. plya is a man with a great appreciation for the finer things in life.

It 'started in 1989 on a plot of 320 hectares, with a growing climate. So begins the story of the Khao Yai wine!

It must have been hard to find the right variety - one that would grow and produce quality grapes in a tropical climate like Thailand. There was only one way to find out, and that was all the plants!

They did, looking for more than fifty differentVariety. Two years diligently testing and tasting was subsequently decided that Shiraz, Tempranillo, Chenin Blanc and Colombard were the stars of the show.

The growing variety of law is only half the battle. It is equally important to find a good wine. Dr. PB sent Mr. Prayut Piangbunta to study one of his old master brewer from his former company, beer, wine in the vineyard, Germany.

He returned in 1994 to take his place as head winemaker in the largest andmost technologically advanced wineries in Southeast Asia. was produced by the year 1998, the first year, and today, 12 years later, the PB is Khoa Yai wines to impress non-believers like me.
