Here is a question I got from a reader:
I love cheese cake. So where can I find the best French style and the best New York style cheese cake in Seoul?- G.P.My recommendation is Passion 5 near Hangangjin station. They have excellent French Style Cheese Cake. Aa Design Museum in Hongdae had an excellent cheesecake back in the day, but I don't know if they still have it.
Korea has wineries and I went to one last week at Diony Winery. Their Bokbunja (Raspberry) wine is not too bad. It smells like raspberry, but tastes like a medium-bodied merlot. One of their wines was given 80 points by Robert Parker. Here is the info on the winery.

And here is another winery I'd like to check on in the future
(A special thanks to Chef Eddy of Hanspoon for taking me to the winery and for the info)
Speaking of wine, there will be a Seoul Eats wine tasting next Saturday at 2pm at VineStock Winery in Seorae Village next week (December 19). I'll be going there with a couple of other Foodies and Winos. If you would like to come, send me an e-mail. The tasting will cost 25,000 won. VineStock is a great place to get great Christmas Presents such as Gourmet Olive Oil, Chocolate, Coffee, and Artisan Wines.

The Korean raspberry wine got 80 points from Robert Parker because he loves big fruit bombs. Read about RP's influence on the wine industry, 'Parkerization'

And 80 points from anyone is not really something to brag about. RP point system is over-used in Korea.
Must have been interesting to see how they make bokbunja being made.
