Lotus Barangaroo in Sydney — 7 years ago
71% Viognier, 29% Marsanne
The Viognier floats very nicely on top of the Marsanne. Viognier's White floral and golden fruit, on top of round and slight nutty characteristics of the Marsanne. Nicely balanced. Both varietals are at home in San Pasqual Valley. Recommend visiting, when in the San Diego area. — 8 years ago
Good bit of petrol on the nose. Not quit as rich as I would have imagined. Plenty of fruit left. Drinking really lovely. Oh Lotus of Siam, how I cannot wait to be back! — 9 years ago
Peaches in syrup, bruised apricot, nectarine, orange blossoms, tangerine zest. A little lotus oil and faint notes of sunflower seed and snapdragons. On the palate fruit is ripe but poised, not stewed or flabby. It’s delicate and fresh. Texture has a gentle graininess. — 6 years ago

Not for the faint of heart! Halloween vin de Savoie made from magnolia bones, the comb of honeybees, lotus flower, spongey meadow full of wild flowers, spider webs, melted snow, baby's breath, and lemon verbena, heavier mouthfeel evocative of butter, but baked pear, and apple surface. Coconut oil, spearmint, pine pollen, a touch of clover honey,lemon peel, green olive, pastry. And white oak acorns. Hang these bones from the highest tree, and rest in the ancestral rhythms! — 10 years ago
2010 DANA ONDA, wow, maybe not the strongest middle pallet but the rest of it blows me away. The richest dark fruit nose and entry, not sweet just killer fruit, and the finish is so well blended. I would put this up against any 2010 cab and I’m a big fan of the vintage. I have one left and while I think it will last for a while I’ll drink it again in 5 years as I have the 2010 Lotus in waiting! — 7 years ago
This is a super expressive sake one has to try at least once, the enlightened experience is religious, made with Yamadanishiki rice, polished to 35% of the original volume before brewing, aged under 0°C temperature for over two years, very pale yellow in color, beautiful nose of funnel, anise, parsley, strawberry, dry bamboo leaf, lotus seed paste and white pepper, extreme mellow and layered mouthfeel, velvety texture with tastes of fino Sherry, anise, iodine, green bamboo, & peat, long mesmerizing finish! — 8 years ago
It's not often I'm able to enjoy the pleasure of a very dry, Riesling from Alsace. Which is why we seized the opportunity while dining at Le Lotus on the main island of Tahiti in French Polynesia last month. This scrumptious wine was very dry, high acidity but so very balanced. Not too much citrus and just the right amount of minerality. Paired beautifully with the Batfish appetizer. — 9 years ago
Lotus of Siam. Perfect Thai food accompaniment. — 10 years ago
Naked Buddha and fried squid. Suction cups galore! Need to drink this in a seated lotus position and not have Frederique yelling J'adore! He is obviously not in love with me — 10 years ago

Red gold body with a Matisse sketched white ring and merengue peaked, sheet-lacing. Clean citrus nose exhibiting clementine and dried pineapple, Meyer lemon and a faint funky-persimmon and lotus. There is something pleasant about the naturalness of the aromatics here with dried lemon verbena and Calloway seed. Orange and tangerine eclipse the lemon on the palate and add sweet grapefruit, and a clove note that tightly binds the whole. The bitterness being mitigated by the maple was brilliant here! Makes the Dogfish 90 seem clunky in comparison. I am a fan of this manifestation. Careful crafting and a simple solution to tune aggressive hops. There is no maple flavor btw. .
