Fully Matured Chablis Vs Kanpachi / Mekajiki Handroll完全熟成Chablis[併]鱆紅魚/劍魚手卷「Pairing Verdict 食配後感 9/10pts」#Laroche #Burgundy #ChablisVillage #LesVaudeveyVineyard #PremierCruVineyard #vintagescore83pts #劍魚手卷 #章紅魚手卷 #everydayfinewine #winelive“While the textbook partner in crime for the every day sushi hand roll has always been sake, an old Chablis has definitely enough credit to challenge the status quo; its unique minerality, aged white honey and cooked fruit character goes very well with the weight, the freshness of the sashimi as well as the umami and the saltiness from the dipping of soy sauce. If you always think about having Chablis with fresh Oysters, experiment sushi with an aged sake or...

【#WhiskyLive】”IB Speyside 19歲之切磋”

SMWS 54.52 (Aberlour) 2nd fill ex-Sauternes Barrique SMWS 39.151 (Linkwood) 1st fill ex-PX Sherry Butt#ScotchMaltWhiskySociety #OpenSecret #DistilleryCode #IndependentBottler #IB #協會酒 #酒莊密碼 #木桶編號 #公開的秘密“Linkwood的花香及香葉味較Aberlour特出,收結有明顯的乾果和朱古力味,全因用上ex-Oloroso 木桶 (Butt) 加上第一次用 (1st Fill) 的ex-Pedro Ximenez 葡萄 (PX) 些利酒桶 (Butt) 來陳年;感覺就像在草原吃着一排車厘子黑朱古力,躺著望住天空及花瓣的飄揚。Aberlour的熟果香既澎湃又悠長,就如標籤說的一樣,我直接聯想起Krispy Kreme鎮店之寶,我一直最愛的Boston Cream。在木桶方面這支54.52用上了Bourbon桶 (Hogshead) 加上二手 (2nd Fill) 法國波爾多甜酒 Sauternes桶 (Barrique) 來陳年,美點雙輝,飯後一漂亮的點綴。整體來說,十九年的陳年令到兩支Speyside的佳釀口感都甚醇,餘韻達仙景級,好酒,好酒!”“The main differences of the two 19 years golden droplets mainly strikes from the cask they used and the style of their initial house spirit; the Linkwood one (39.151) is more floral and grassy in style, with the sweet kick comes directly from the first fill ex PX sherry butt finishing. The Aberlour (54.52)on the other...

【#WinePairingLive】”the Balti Challenge”

Perfectly Matured Bordeaux Blanc 「Vs」 Balti Indian Cuisine 完美熟成波爾多白 「併」 英式印度菜   「Pairing Verdict 食配後感 6/10pts」   #DomaineDeChevalierBlanc #SecondWine #SauvignonBlanc #Semillon #90ptsVintage #LambKorma #ChickenTikkaMasala #ChickenBiryani #ButterNaan #GarlicNaan #birminghambalti   “Despite being matched so well with the Chicken Biryani and the Naan by itself, the same honey and cooked peach type of tertiary flavour from the perfectly timed ageing of the wine didn’t pair with the Korma and the Massala at all; the nuttiness, the creaminess and the spiciness from the thick sauce kills the wine completely. On a hindsight, a pint of Kingfisher draught lager should do a fairer job.”“儘管跟印度雞炒飯和烤餅夾得多麼的漂亮,可惜舊波爾多白有的蜜糖和煮熟蜜桃味都被主食完全毫不留情地摧毁;Korma跟Masala的汁醬兩者均屬厚身,果仁,奶油及小辣類別,早知用印度Kingfisher生啤來迎戰效果可能會好一點。”...
