Where to Buy Wine and European Cheese in Jakarta

( Win) Hi Kelly & Lara,
Would you please recommend us for shop to buy Wine and European cheese in Jakarta.
Many thanks, Win

(Kelly & Lara)
Dear Winarto, you can fine the shop list by visit : http://www.whatsnewjakarta.com/web3/event/GuideList.php?cboGroup=29
or
You can also try Kem Chicks in Kemang area which has a walk in freezer of a fine assortment of cheeses. Also at Kem Chicks they have a decent assortment of imported wines. You can also try VIN in Kemang which imports a wide variety of wines but those can be a bit pricey. If you are looking for something in particular you can often times request such and they will locate for you. Another source you can try is Johan 720-3459. Most of the grocery stores have cheeses as well but that is a hit and miss thing. Good luck!!
Happy Shopping!

R.I.P. MIREE NEW 15.6.1959 - 16.2.2011

This is new blog to replace our previous "Ask" blog - http://askmiree-whatsnewjakarta.blogspot.com/

When WhatsNewJakarta.com were looking for a 'Jakarta expert' to answer questions in our 'Ask' blog, we had to look no further than Miree. If there was one person in Jakarta who knew 'how to', 'where' etc to answer any question - it was Miree. No questions was unanswerable. Jakarta has been her home since 2000 and she fell in love with Indonesia and its people. Sadly Miree passed away on 16 Feb 2011 due to pneumonia and other complications. See will be sadly missed by all. RIP Miree. For your information we have set up a blogsite in her memory - http://mireenew.blogspot.com
