Krasno Ribolla 2018
Over the centuries, heroic winegrowers have tenaciously terraced the steep marl slopes below the little village of Krasno to plant their vines. This unique land produces distinctly mineral authentic wines, with a character only found in Slovenia’s Goriška Brda region. Grapes: 100% Ribolla Gialla Aroma: reminiscent of Mediterranean citruses and cedar – rounded with a delicate note of vanilla and fresh bread crust Taste: elegant, fresh and harmonious; a slight touch of sweet tannins in a long conclusion Food pairing: refreshing salads, white fish and shellfish, vegetable risottos and pasta with vegetable sauces
Koshi-no-Kanchubai Silver Junmai sake
A classic Gohyakumangoku smooth sake by Niigata Meiji. The Silver-label Junmai is a feat of delicate fruit aromas. This soft, pleasant sake is a major crowd pleaser with hints of banana and citrus beneath a gentle rice flavor, followed by cleansing finish. Pairing with both eastern and western dishes, and excellent at every temperature.
Konteki Tears of Dawn Daiginjo Sake
Brewed in the same way with the same ingredients as Pearls of Simplicity but with a touch of distilled alcohol to open up aromatics and lighten the overall impact. Konteki means “dew drops of the earth” while Higashiyama (the brewery name) translates to “eastern hill.“ Brewery workers have been known to start their days watching the sun rise over the mountains until the dew drops glisten as if they were the Tears of Dawn. Konteki Tears of Dawn Daiginjo Sake has notes of tropical banana, anise seed, and truffle. These same flavors come rushing through the full-bodied palate followed by a velvety and dangerously smooth finish. Try with braised pork ribs, fresh oysters or smoked gouda cheese.
Konteki Sake Pack
Compare and contrast these 2 delicious sakes, one made as Junmai Daiginjo the other as Daiginjo that was brewed in the same way with the same ingredients as Pearls of Simplicity but with a touch of distilled alcohol to open up aromatics and lighten the overall impact. Konteki means “dew drops of the earth” while Higashiyama (the brewery name) translates to “eastern hill.“ Brewery workers have been known to start their days watching the sun rise over the mountains until the dew drops glisten as if they were the Tears of Dawn. Kampala!!!
Konteki Pearls of Simplicity Junmai Daiginjo Sake
The epitome of purity, this sake is more subtle and nuanced than most highly aromatic Junmai Daiginjos. It is based on the ideals of Zen Buddhism and "wabi-sabi," the belief that beauty within the arts should be as understated and pure as a simple strand of pearls. One of two sakes brewed in exactly the same way with the same ingredients, except this one is a Junmai Daignjo and Tears of Dawn has added distilled alcohol to open up aromatics. Aromas of white flower and Asian pear followed by clean flavors of honeydew, lemon, and a hint of licorice. Finishes elegantly with rich minerality and rice texture. This is a great sipping sake but also a wonderful companion to scallops, pork, and light meats.
Kloof Street Old Vine Chenin Blanc Swartland 2022
Pale gold, gold color with green shades. The nose is made of white flesh fruit, candied citrus aromas with a hint of brioche and ginger bread. The mouth associates richness, subtle oak, taste of dried fruit. Pleasantly rich wine.
