Yet again a great match for Sakana with Hsing/Mimi but this time Vollenweider provided good competition. The Omakase was same as last time, last day of the monthly menu so a good comp. Thought the food was actually a bit off compared to previous time but still what a great combo with the wines. — 4 years ago

Château Haut-Brisson

St. Émilion Grand Cru Red Bordeaux Blend 2015

After at least 8 weeks without alcohol (sorry to all my fans lol), I had to break my fast on my anniversary with at least a glass. Unfortunately, not a standout wine. I believe I had good luck with the 2015 and or 2016 vintages of this, but here... A blast of sour red cherries on the nose and palate, candied. Super astringent, bitter.

The good news is that for 19.years I have been married to a woman who has always been my champion, has always wanted the best for me, and has stuck with me through a lot of ups and downs, including wine. Thanks Mimi, I love you baby...
Consider this your card 😅

Wow this is singing! What a nose. Gorgeous lemon inflected minerality. Hints of attractive spicey oak and stunning rocky minerality. Tree bark and herbs. So good. What a screaming mimi of a nose. Palate is rich and ripe but also nervy and tense. Amazing purity buttressed by that awesome Meursault richness. Lovely texture. Awesome mouthfeel and a lovely lemon drop lime zest finish. Wonderful. — 5 years ago

Veuve Clicquot Ponsardin

Yellow Label Brut Champagne Blend

Delightful! Paid $29 for a 375 ML bottle at total wine. This is right up there with the Moët. Mimi says they’re comparable and they’re about the same price. Would get it again and again.  — 6 years ago

Montmains Chablis 1er Cru Chardonnay 2021

It was outstanding. Had this with Mimi, Fatima and Fati at La Voile on Newbury Street. Paid over $100 for the bottle, but it was well worth it.  — 2 years ago

Obsidian Ridge

Obsidian Ridge Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon 2017

Mimi paid $29 for the bottle at Boston Wine Exchange on Devonshire. A nice, full, rich, dry, smooth Cabernet. Worth repeating when I need a $30 bottle. A step up from the usual $15 red. — 5 years ago

Castel Mimi

Reserve Merlot 2012

Celebrating Moldova independence day. And that's a bottle for this occasion. Mature bouquet of prune, fig, chocolate, licorice, dried cherry, sweet tobacco, coffee, vanilla and clove. Powerful, kind of new world style, oaky, straightforward and not complex, but tasty mature wine.

Nose just comes out of the gates like a screaming mimi. Gorgeous cherry. Soupy and super clean. Floral. Cherry flower. Stunning florals. Irises and lilacs. Just a beautiful nose. Full Brunello Symphony. Spices galore. Palate is stunningly deeply fruited. Sappy and pure. So clean. Deep black and late season red cherries but so fresh. Superbly elegant and very concentrated with powerful and powdery tannins. Substantial structure and freshness. So pure. Velvety and energetic. — 6 years ago

Mimi Vieilles Vignes Côtes de Provence Syrah Rosé Blend 2020

Not too heavy or syrupy like some rosés. Pleasant berry flavors. Glass cork is athletically pleasing but difficult to work with. One of my more favorite rosés that I've tried though. — 5 years ago

Clos Mimi

Westerly Vineyard Syrah 2003

Last one. End of an era. Completely opaque dark dark ruby. Tannic and oak monster upon opening. Settles down after an hour. Slammin’ good with grilled lamb and taters. Chonky. Blueberries. Rippin’ alcohol but it’s cool. Continues to get better at 2hrs. Saved half in a 375ml for tomorrow because this shit is 16% and I’m drunk as fuck. — 6 years ago

@Dylan Thomas such a beast of a wine. Was better on day 2. Which is insane for a 16 year old wine. No rush on drinking your last bottle, it’ll last forever.
