When I was a child, learning idioms, the idiom "sheng se quan ma" (literally "sound, color, dogs, and horses") refers to a person's lustful desires, indulging in sensual pleasures. If one were to find an environment that could accurately describe such a scene, the image that usually comes to mind is a smoky bar, where a well-dressed office worker is having a flirtatious conversation with a sexy bartender... This unimaginative image of a bar is no longer the pursuit or atmosphere of most bars in today's increasingly diversified society. Some bars offer a great dining space and exquisite dishes that are no less than those in five-star hotels; some provide the latest sports channels, allowing a few friends to enjoy a game together; some offer top-grade Cuban cigars for connoisseurs to appreciate; and there are even sofa bars, where people can lie on a row of sofas, feeling as if they're at home. The rich variety of bars has made city dwellers' nightlife more colorful. In 2000, the year of the millennium, L'arrièrecour, our wine garden, opened at No. 4, Lane 23, Section 2, Anhe Road, Taipei City. Friends often affectionately call it "Backyard" or "the backyard." It was established for the elite in the city, meeting their demanding taste. It has the most comprehensive collection of single malt whiskies, and is known as a "whisky museum" among gourmets. It was the first bar to establish a 24-hour temperature and humidity controlled wine cellar for storing red wine. Committed to establishing the most professional bar in the city, it brings the first-rate taste culture of the international world right next to your home, like your own backyard, where you can just open the door and come in anytime to enjoy a relaxed and leisurely feeling.
