@ScottW58 Drinking really well, well enough that I drank the glass I was saving for tonight…ha! Good color, still has fruit and character left, not just an older Bordeaux. Didn’t pay attention when I grabbed it but think I have one or two left from a futures case. If so I’ll drinker sooner rather than later but no hurry to get after it.
Went to a Sake tasting this afternoon at Thatchers wine store that was pretty spectacular! Kikuhime Sake. I haven’t had a lot of Sake and the ones I’ve had were pretty bad imho but now I think I’m a fan
@ScottW58 Well, that pic does explain a lot
(especially since I can now read the text).
That should have been an outstanding, to say the least, tasting!
What were the pairings, if any?
Your favorite?
You pick up any?
@rjquillin Well I’m no expert on Sake but all of these were really complex and delicious. Hard for me to pick a favorite but I did buy the Nama Sake and Origarami, already have a bottle that I bought a while ago the Daiginjo to try. No food to pair sadly. Based on what I bought what would you pair them with?
Hello all,
Long time no see, I went on 2 of the RPM tours many moons ago. So after collecting Corison for many years, I have decided to give up some of it, I can’t drink it all.
So if you may be interested in some vintage Corison,
check this out: Heritage auctions
Sincerely, Dave
Went to the market yesterday, grabbed a bunch of fresh veggies 'tis the season. Diced up a little cabbage and carrots the lazy man’s way for some slaw. A few wings in the smoker. And an uninspiring burg. Kind of a fruity and jammy mess. A little better today. Moulin Saint-Georges last decent wine I had…recent '19 Sandlands Nebbiolo was uninspiring, a '19 Sandlands Lodi Cinsault over three days eh as well. And a few sips of the recent DAOU rose offer, well last July so not so recent I guess, which was and is uninspiring as well. I’m on a roll…ha!
Okay I made an abominable dish last night (if you play by the rules of no cheese with fish) that was f’ing delicious! Everything bagel Salmon with cream cheese caper sauce
The asparagi… my favorite green stuff, I miss foraging for it in the midwest and it doesn’t grow here on the coast but grows a few counties inland…so a quick flash in a pan with butter and shrooms and a Flannery hanger
@rjquillin Sushi place with the tempura only had a choice of “hot” or “cold” sake. They were out of their nigori.
It was fine - medium dry, simple, and not expensive.
Lamb, Rollen’s Raw Grains Sea Island Yellow Guinea Flint Grits with a little butter, cheese and demi…
@kaolis
Yum!!!
@kaolis
looks fantastic!
I think I have one bottle of that left, how’s it drinking? Thanks for reminding me I need to whip up a batch of demi

@ScottW58 That the one from Berserkers? If I hadn’t been on a plane…
@ScottW58 which Kikuhime? There are many

@klezman Yes and you missed a great tasting! Also Sarah knows her way around Spain so I wanted to meet her
@ScottW58
I’m pretty traditional when it comes to sake; 90%+ sashimi and sushi, occasionally other dishes.
Were they all served chilled?
Did they serve in a masu, or glass?
No matter, what an epic lineup.
@rjquillin
Not chilled but not warm either iirc. Just served in a regular wine glass. I guess I have raw fish in my future
@rjquillin @ScottW58 Sake a tough sell for me as well, I’ve tried but guess I need to try again

Opened this last month to a less than friendly pairing.
It’s quite at home with miso sable fish, buttered Carolina Gold and some greens and shoga
@rjquillin Looks great!
@rjquillin @ScottW58 It does indeed
Outstanding. Bone dry. Drinks almost like a red. Cheers to Bill Hooper, wherever he may be!
@chipgreen Not had any of their rosé, but have certainly enjoyed their Rieslings from BD IX.
Is he no longer producing?
@rjquillin
Unfortunately, no.
@chipgreen @rjquillin K&L had a few Rieslings they were selling off so I have a few more bottles of his. Great stuff from Oregon.

@kaolis
Well then I approve… Of the food anyways
Okay I made an abominable dish last night (if you play by the rules of no cheese with fish) that was f’ing delicious! Everything bagel Salmon with cream cheese caper sauce
@ScottW58 Your recipe makes sense however, i.e.a bagel(with everything), cream cheese and lox. Sounds and looks delish.
@ScottW58 Looks very close to breakfast this morning; bagel c-cheese, salmon, onions, tomato and capers. Also quite fine for lunch or a snack.
@jmdavidson1
Yes everything except cooked and no bagel, I like that

2010 Miner Family “La Diligence” Syrah w/ BBQ brisket pizza.
@chipgreen I need a pie…with crumbled snausage and brisket
@chipgreen I didn’t post yesterday, but this is what we drank with pork ragout.
Just to prove great minds etc.
@chipgreen @kaolis
I need to make a brisket soon!
Nostalgic sushi with nameless non-junmai sake. Big plate of shiitake mushroom tempura always hits the spot.
@klezman Why are you consuming swill like that!?
@rjquillin Sushi place with the tempura only had a choice of “hot” or “cold” sake. They were out of their nigori.
It was fine - medium dry, simple, and not expensive.
@klezman All redeeming attributes.
I find nigori is difficult to make work with food; could just be me, but it’s just too thick.
Last nights blind tasting. Spectacular wines!
@chefjess
Weak sauce!
Who has the intel to crash one of Chef’s tasting groups? We must infiltrate!
