First encounter with Hsing. Philly cheesesteak. Beautiful nose of sage dark fruits violets. Lively texture. Almost old world. Turns out to be part of series AA and old bottle of it’s kind but with other vineyards. — 2 years ago

Grafs family minus K visit (Ho left) mom BD 5/7/22. Cab lineup through the decades. Shockingly alive and drinking well! It actually went great with grilled salmon! Such was its lack of tannins and fruit and body. PS it did fade over the next three days in Eto (Hsing tasted (5/9) but remained an excellent partner for food. — 2 years ago

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. — 2 years ago
