ST. BORDEAUX WINE HOUSE @ KEPONG




St. Bordeaux Wine House- a venture fuel on passion!
It wasn’t really a bed of roses during the early stage, as Kenny recalled. It’s the perseverance and the sheer love for his passion that pulls him through all this while, besides the constant encouragement by his lovely wife, the affable Irene.


First started out with a humble shop almost 10 years ago at Sungai Buloh where products choices revolved more around common diversified range such as beer and liquour, compared to now where St. Bordeaux Wine House is much more skewered into diversified fine appreciation of wines, gins, whisky and others.




The second brainchild of Kenny which started operations in 2012, has eventually blossomed after Kenny’s love towards wine become more refined as time passed. Being a wine lover who has a hankering for vintage wines from the Old World Wines especially Chilean, Kenny love to explore the culinary gustation by creating his very own recipes for wine pairing. This comes ideally whenever there is private occasion to be catered as his ultimate goal is to create a wine club eventually.



The reason why he enjoys the old world wines is that as it ages with more vintage, the wines posses more characteristics, taste better and different in every sips as it breaths at room temperature, without the need of a decanter seriously.


Apart from that, his yen for aesthetic elements is also well reflected in the interior design of the outlet where most (if not all) the entire space is decorated by him, including the craftsmanship and the wooden embellishments of the outlet. Wow, that is certainly some effort to be applauded.


Now i know why it feels homey the moment I step in the private lounge, which is opened to walk-in customers upon request, should they wish to enjoy their selected wines immediately after purchase, where they get to savour the personal chosen wines with earnest nosh prepared by Kenny.




For instance, take a scoop of his Chilean wine-infused vanilla ice cream and then enjoy the harmonious delectation on your palate. A region where its wine often appears rather strong body to me, surprisingly got delicately tamed with this indulgence! And the curiosity in me prompt me to enquire Kenny and that’s when I got enllightened that actually, late harvest wine will have higher sugar content, hence it’s a match made in heaven when paired with desserts. And I must say I really love it!


Despite the fact that current wine appreciation scene in Malaysia is yet to matured and is still a growing potential market as compared to our Western peers in other region, St. Bordeaux Wine House aims to provide a cozy nook for wine enthusiasts to unwind and gather around, besides chipping in the concerted effort to propel more awareness and appreciation towards these dainty delicacy among the local folks here.



In conjunction with their recent 5th anniversary celebration of his Aman Puri’s St. Bordeaux Wine House, both Kenny and Irene had thrown a simple yet jovial buffet party for those who especially share their passion for good food and good wines!





A huge variety of wines were available on that day for tasting, in-store purchase, including premium red and white wines from Australia, Chile, France, New Zealand, Spain, sake, sochu and more, besides delish food to go along.




The fair also boasts a wide range of lovely Taiwanese flower wines and fruit wines, such as the Rose and Roselle variety, alongside alluring Medinet Grenache, which captured my taste bud almost immediately with its subtle sweetness!
