Kistler

Les Noisetiers Sonoma Coast Chardonnay 2015

Tasted at an amazing restaurant in the wilderness near Hanazono in Hokkaido Japan. Not as buttery and oaky as many Californian Chardonnays I have had in the past. It was rich yet balanced and refreshing with cleansing acid. Great match with Sashimi. — 7 years ago

Château Milens

St. Émilion Grand Cru Red Bordeaux Blend 2015

Hmmmm...dried prunes, touch of currant and ripe red berries with a sublime undercurrent of grassy earth and forest-y shit. Ate some Hokkaido uni with it. Would eat a whole goddamn tray with a bottle....wait sounds like my weekend plan! — 5 years ago

Chichibu

Double Distilleries Ichiro's Malt Pure Malt Whisky 2004

Inviting nose, sweet round single-malt flavors, interesting finish. Just a very pleasurable tipple. The only reason this is not a perfect whiskey is the very faintest note of varnish in the nose and finish. Reminded me a bit of Kavalan Sherry Cask in that respect. I had this in Japan with my lovely wife Dreama, at The Long Bar in Sapporo, Hokkaido. — 7 years ago

Château Monbousquet

Saint-Emilion Red Bordeaux Blend 2000

Beautiful fragrance caramel like from intense Merlot and 2003 tannins mellow out and I mostly drank all of it. Paired with 4 day stewed Hokkaido abalone and 5kg yellow spot tiger garoupa. This is still the best Cantonese restaurant in HK — 7 years ago
