L'atypique Central Otago Pinot Gris 2023

8.9

ロゼワインのような色合いのオレンジ。
味わい的にもタンニンのしっかりしたロゼという感じで、アセロラ、クランベリー、木苺、苺といった赤い果実に、ホワイトペッパー、松ヤニ。
もう少し甘い感じというかこってりしたオレンジワインを想像していたので、スペアリブのタレ焼きにはぴったりとはいかないものの、アマトリチャーナにはぴったり。
酢豚とかにぴったりだと思う。 — 16 hours ago

9.2

Daishichi Raden 2011 Kimoto Junmai Ginjo. Would not have guessed it’s been aged for 12 years and then realistically aged another 2 years before I got it. Rich, soft, bordering on sweet. I would say it matches the other Kimoto styles I’ve had with great flavor and stronger rice flavors for me. I’d assume the lack of acid is due to the age than the style. 2011 vintage with 12 years of aging. Sake Meter Value:
+3
Alcohol : 15%
Acidity : 1.5

Rice polishing ratio 58% (super flat polished rice)

Orange NZ Pinot Gris shootout against Sato's offering. This is more fruit driven, with a yeasty apple/peach/quince thing going on. Spending less time on skins than the 2014 Sato, this one is probably easier and more fun to just drink, but the Sato is way more dense and complex and went better with the herb-rubbed leg of lamb. — 10 years ago

Tatsuriki Terroir Yamada Nishiki Junmai Daiginjo (sometimes marketed as “Tatsuriki Terroir Kome no Sato”)
This was all part of our Sake Day 2025 experience. We only tasted 60ish sakes out of an estimated 450, so a small fraction of what was available. While I attempted to rinse the glass with water and stay hydrated it’s difficult to fairly rate in this environment and I use it solely as a time to try a wide variety and interact with the brands. — 10 months ago

It is called Bangmakok and it is a Thai rice wine. Nothing like the Japanese sake but this slightly barrel fermented rice wine tastes like a white port more than anything. It is a truly interesting rice wine to try. Bo lan has a unique selections of drinks. — 8 years ago
