Chateau Montelena Chardonnay Napa Valley 2005 ［併] Poached Sliced Abalone with Prawn Broth 濃湯過橋鮮鮑魚 「食配後感 10/10pts」  “所謂過橋，是透過把濃味而不厚身的蝦湯，輕輕的，快快地，塗在一塊一塊經師傅細膩刀鋒切成薄片的鮑魚上面；過橋這做法令鮑魚片達半熟狀態，令口感保持滑溜，鮮味得以保存。至於在酒的配撘方面，今次我選擇了一支加州Napa Valley已陳年十二個年頭的Chardonnay白酒來應戰。一般來說，加州的白酒比法國的為豐厚，木桶味較顯著；陳年後的加州Chardonnay除了比年青時較為收斂和口感會更醇厚之外，經陳年才有的蜜糖鮮味加上本身較重的酒體來併濃蝦湯可算是沒有最好，只有最好!” Chateau Montelena貴為1976年在巴黎舉行的美法葡萄酒檬瓶大戰（又稱之為巴黎審判 Judgement of Paris）佳麗之一，亦是在11個來自法國，英國和美國的評判給予的分數平均最高的一支酒，順理成章成為當晚白酒組別的大贏家，首度在歷史上為美國酒在世界品酒舞台爭光。不可不提的是當Chateau Montelena的對手也並非善男信女，鼎鼎大名的法國布根地釀酒師Roulot和白酒專家Leflaive出戰的一支，分數也要比下去呢！

Perfectly Matured Chateauneuf du Pape Vs Homemade Fried Glutinous Rice on Staub完美熟成隆河教皇新堡［併］人家製臘味糯米飯「Pairing Verdict 食配後感 10/10pts」#SouthernRhone #DomaineDeLaJanasse #VieillesVignes #Grenache #mourvedre #90ptsVintage #LiverSausage #CrispyRice #潤腸 #飯焦 #Staub #OvalCocotte #可以再添多一碗嗎#可以再來黐餐嗎“The super-powered Staub Oval Cocotte helps to retain the heat for the rice flavour and the meat oily favour to be thoroughly penetrated to the rice which makes this warm-hearted homemade dish truly invincible；the perfectly aged Grenache with its distinct dried prune, cooked caramel and earthiness flavour has found his BFF.”“人家製的臘味糯米飯始終被街吃的多一份溫暖，加上本身Staub有的耐熱度把飯焗得更香，臘味的油香滲入飯𥚃得更深。這樣無敵的條件配上已在瓶內透氣兩小時，經22年熟成Grenache出來的熟梅加煮熟焦糖和泥土味，絕對可以比如成一對知心密友；”#winehk #winepairing #hkwine #hkwineshop #hkwinelovers #hkwinelover #hkwineanddine #hkwinebar #hkwines #hkwinecellar #hkwinehub #hkwinejournal #everydayfinewine #wineliveWine Source: https://goo.gl/LWGdy3

Perfectly Matured Meursault Vs Stuffed Italian Roasted Guinea Fowl完美熟成貓鬚［併］意式珍珠雞「Pairing Verdict 食配後感 9/10pts」#NicolasPotel #Burgundy #MeursaultVillage #PremierCruVineyard #LesPorusotVineyard #90ptsVintage #ArrostoDiFaraona #TheoRandall #JamieOliversTeacher #Stuffing #ProsciuttoParma #MascarponeCreamCheese #ZestyLemon #Thyme“Rather skeptical at first on this cross-European’s date, the aged Meursault in dark blonde with the italian roasted Guinea fowl turns out bringing the best out of each other during the course of the meal; the Meursault becomes fruitier with the rare lychee flavour popping up and the guinea fowl with an enhanced level of umami from the roast, to me a surprised encounter.”“對這次的意法食飲搭配，確實有帶一點保留；珍珠雞既然令貓鬚帶出罕見的荔枝味，同時貓鬚也令珍珠雞的鮮味變得鮮，好一餐感恩節一人前是也。”#winehk #winepairing #hkwine #hkwineshop #hkwinelovers #hkwinelover #hkwineanddine #hkwinebar #hkwines #hkwinecellar #hkwinehub #hkwinejournal #everydayfinewine...

Perfectly Matured Spanish Ribera Del Duero Vs Braised Abalone完美熟成西班牙國寶［併］亞一鮑魚扣鵝掌「Pairing Verdict 食配後感 9/10pts」#VegaSicilia #RiberaDelDuero #Unico #GranReserva #TopRange #Tempranillo #CabernetSauvignon #TraditionallyReleased10yearsAfterVintage #師父楊貫一 #徒弟黃隆滔主理 #米芝蓮兩星 #2StarMichelin “Picking the brain from the house sommelier, Rioja is the perfect match with the Michelin starred Abalone. With a fully Matured Unico in front of us, let’s see how the pairing goes; the softened yet still apparent silky tannin, the dark chocolaty and mocha type of coffee character in subtlety, and the refined medium body weight seems to counter the stickiness of the sauce, the texture of the abalone and the goose palm with ease, next time...

Domaine Pierre Usseglio Chateauneuf du Pape 2000 Vs 2007#BottleBreathe3hours #VerticalTasting #DomaineEntryLevelCNDP #GrenacheDominant #Syrah #07BestVintages00 #familyowned“The 07 feels more jammy in fruit plus a fuller body with aromas and after taste be a bit closer; the 2000 has a more perfume like persistently aroma and have the ultimate smoothened body and after taste you can get. 2000 of this level of quality is now fully ready.”“支07像低調的果醬一樣，香味及餘韻比較收緊；二千年有澎湃而又優雅的香味，酒醇及餘韻達最高境界。2000現在開最為漂亮。＂#winehk #winepairing #hkwine #hkwineshop #hkwinelovers #hkwinelover #hkwineanddine #hkwinebar #hkwines #hkwinecellar #hkwinehub #hkwinejournal #everydayfinewine #winelive
