Winner of the night from the Legend Imports wine dinner at Peasant featuring a variety of beautiful wines from Australia that are not mollydooker penfolds or yellowtail.
This wine was described as Australian Montrachet and boy was that right. Anyone tasting blind would’ve picked burgundy.
Delicious. — 2 years ago
Excellent along with the Feast of the Seven Fishes. Kinda cheated and went sashimi as opposed to cooking and some shellfish. Caviar/cockles/mackerel pate/octopus sashimi/salmon sashimi/yellowtail sashimi/tuna sashimi/stir fried clams. The extra “fish” hopefully makes up for the cheating ;) — 4 years ago

Just brightness in a bottle. Had at Morimoto In Vegas with a variety of foods (steak, pork belly, and yellowtail) and held it own with all. Melon and sweet lime. — 2 years ago
Herbaceous, limey and farmy with sulfuric undertones on the nose. An interesting sauv to come out of Marlborough, in light of the late grassiness in the nose characteristics that evolves into green bell pepper. Lime hits the palate back in the upper throat. Strikingly clean crisp tart yet creamy foamy oceanic wave of lime. Electric complexity across the entire palate. Saltiness akin to margaritas yet I'm suddenly craving yellowtail sashimi after a day of surfing, even though I don't surf! Lengthy and intense, this is a foody's sushi wine on a beach day! — 6 years ago
