Meet the latest addition to the LIOCO Wines @lioco

Meet the latest addition to the LIOCO Wines @liocowineco lineup! Technically, it’s a blush wine, made from a blend of mostly Pinot Noir with about 33% Chardonnay blended in. If you’re not careful, you’d mistake it for a white wine, so pale in color is it. But what it might seem to lack in color it makes up in flavor. It smells of citrus peel and watermelon rind, and in the mouth it positively sizzles with acidity as flavors of green strawberries, watermelon rind, and citrus pith mix with a bit of pink grapefruit and a touch of salinity. Totally delicious, and a great piece of evidence for why Anderson Valley should make more rosé. This was a press sample. ⁣

Last week I took part in a remarkable event put on by @culturedvinenapa celebrating the 45th anniversary of the Judgment of Paris tasting. It culminated in a blind tasting of Napa wines against some of the world’s greatest wines. How did Napa fare in the matchup?!? Click the link in my bio to find out. With thanks to @rebeccaskidgelphoto for some images along the way. ⁣

An explosion of flavor? Peach season is nearly gone. I miss it already.

I rarely come in to San Francisco anymore, so I’

I rarely come in to San Francisco anymore, so I’m almost ashamed to say that this morning’s visit was my first to @maison_nico. But the perfection I found means it will not be my last. And by perfection what I really mean is OMFG deliciousness. And yes, I ate the whole damn Brioche Feuillette myself and regretted not buying a quiche, too. Oh well, there’s always lunch. Run, don’t walk. ⁣

Got introduced to two fantastic new sakes last nig

Got introduced to two fantastic new sakes last night at @mr_rintaro and I have to say it: I’m in love. It’s a messy triangle, but the three of us are going to make it work. On the left you have the stunning Shichi Hon Yari “Ginfubuki” Junmai Ginjo from Tomita Brewery in Shiga Prefecture, made with the Ginfubuki rice that is a cross between Yamadanishiki and the local Shiga rice strain Tamazakae. It’s earthy, grassy, forest in a rainstorm delicious. On the right you’ve got Masumi Arabashiri “First Run” Nama Junmai Ginjo from Miyasaka brewing company in Nagano prefecture. It’s gorgeous melon and malted milk and white flower complexion has just the faintest aroma of something headiest that a dining companion suggested as “like the hint of chlorine from an indoor pool, but in a very good way.” To be honest, this sake totally blew my mind it was so good. Like a bluebird powder day on your favorite ski run. ⁣

Is there anything better than sharing a good bottl

Is there anything better than sharing a good bottle of champagne with a friend? Yes. Sharing a great bottle of champagne with someone as you become good friends. The flavors of nostalgia and memories of childhood pair so well with the gorgeous seawater, brioche, lemon pith and wet chalkboard minerality of Champagne, as expressed by Pascal Agrapart, organic maestro of limestone, and in this case Chardonnay. One of my favorite champagnes. NV Agrapart “Terroirs” Extra Brut Blanc de Blancs, Champagne, France.
