Agnolotti of salmon and hokkaido uni, ramp, alberta trout roe, horseradish, watercress oil paired with Moraine Winery 2016 chardonnay.
I missed a pic (how could i) of the Honeyed spot prawn w native pepper berry, stir fried potato, szechuan pepper.
Italy and Portugal wines this evening with @fl0884. A current fave rose is Filarino Sangiovese Rose.
Another recent frequent for me: Tre Saggi Montepulciano d’Abruzzo, so inky, dark plums, cherries, raisins — i likey. The Douro had to sit for several hours, purple hued and deep, peppery, beautiful dry, lingering finish.
Beautiful photos (I remember seeing this on facebook!), and thank you for sharing your experience of being on the rice field… I want to look into volunteering labor at a rice field next year… would love to feel and taste, and experience the rice making part of sake making…
Thanks, Sachiko. Sorry it took me forever to respond to this. Technical glitch! Hope you are well!
