Now, the store carries Bruno Paillard, Ayala, and Delamotte. But their crown jewel is the ultra-exclusive Salon. Note though that Delamotte gets first pick of all the fruit rejected by Salon so if you’d rather not splurge on Salon, try Delamotte.</p><div class="embed-wrap"><figure data-feedback="fb:likes,fb:comments"><img src="http://sa.kapamilya.com/absnews/abscbnnews/media/ancx/food-n-drink/2018/11/5bar.jpg"/><figcaption><em>Wine Story Official Facebook Page</em></figcaption></figure></div><div><strong>Wine Story</strong></div><div><em>111 Shangri-La Plaza Mall Mandaluyong City, Tel. +632 633 3556</em></div><div><em>Serendra Bonifacio High Street Taguig City, Tel. +632 846 6310</em></div><p>This is perhaps the best place to find older vintages of Champagne.

Be wary of storage conditions, though.</p><div> </div><div><em>This story first appeared in Vault Magazine Vol.5 2012.</em></div>
