Been writing about Champagne this weekend and it just made me thirsty, so broke out a little esoterica for sun dinner. Made 100% from Pinot Meunier, this wine offered sappy, berry and crabapple flavors with a nice chalky underbelly. Delicious. NV Christophe Mignon “Pur Meunier” Blanc de Noirs Brut Nature Champagne, France.

Some great, some interesting, some stupendous wine

Some great, some interesting, some stupendous wines shared with friends over the weekend. 95 Musar is always a knockout, 13 Fekete Harslevelu was singing. My last bottle of Belluard bubbly. Thanks @jienna_theedecantress and @dcsommurai for the chance to try the 76 Mirassou Pinot and the “what-the-heck-is-this?” Sparkler from Emilia Romagna.

Two very good sakes with dinner tonight, the Born

Two very good sakes with dinner tonight, the Born Gold Junmai Daiginjo (Fukui Prefecture) was beautifully refined with green apple, floral and wet wood flavors layered onto fior di latte cream, while the Seiden Omachi Junmai Daiginjo (Akita Prefecture) was richer with melon and stone fruit mixed with malted milk.

I’ve been waiting 20 years for San Francisco to get a sushi restaurant this good and authentic. I’ve never, ever been served ayu at the height of the season in the US. Fabulous rice, extraordinary fish, all cut perfectly. Outstanding.
