Wine Suggestions in Chiang Mai
First, for all you wine lovers in Chiang Mai, don't miss Darling Wine Bar on Huay Gaew on the way to Doi Suthep (no longer on Nimanhemin!). They are now serving a fine dinner as well. Of course, all involved are FOD (Friends of Dorothy).
For me, I've found nothing beats a bottle of French or Italian "table wine". Best bet is the wine shop at Lotus on the Superhighway (odd name for the long-muddy ditch). If you are looking for something more unusual, try Tops in Kad Suan Gaew, but they are a bit high. Carrefour used to be fine, but they've let their stock whittle down and there isn't much remarkable left at a reasonable price.
