    Konteki “Tears of Dawn” Sake

    Wine Reviews
    1 min read
    A complex sake with a multilayered palate. The color is quite clear, like water, but with better legs. Apple, white florals, and hints of caramel roil up from the glass. The palate leads with caramel apple and banana, followed by deeper flavors of potato and truffle. A tiny bite of

    A complex sake with a multilayered palate. The color is almost perfectly clear, with barely a hint of straw. The nose is complex, offering  yeast, melon, and pear. There is a lot of movement on the palate, opening with melon, then rolling through pears, white florals, hazelnut, and raspberry. Potato

    Sake meets summer, in a convenient 180ml can. The color is perfectly clear, and just it is just slightly more viscous than water. Pears and rice come through on the nose. On the palate, it's slightly sweet, offering melon and poached pear, followed by tart raspberry and hints of white

    The Royal Wedding: What better time for an update on English Sparkling Wine?

    Sparkling wine has continued to out-effervesce just about any other sparkling wine in the short two years since our last English Sparkling Wine report (below). Everything we said before is true, only more so, and with bells on. Even the French Champagne producers are jumping on the bandwagon, with Taittinger

    The color is pale, with barely a hint of color. The nose offers a blend of topical fruits and citrus fruits, pineapple, white grapefruit, and lime. Grapefruit and lime dominate on the palate, with leafy leafy herbs going through. Lime pith shows on the finish. Drink with fried fish. Recommended.

    This special release from Blackadder Independent Bottlers came from just one cask and yielded a mere 132 bottles. Reviews for the higher-alcohol Cask Strength describe an unbalanced quaff with a powerful alcohol bite. But this bottling shows the benefit of reserve and balance. The color is pale straw, a rare

    With vineyards located inside a World Wildlife Preserve in Sicily, Gorghi Tondi’s owners are focused on sustainable and organic agriculture. Even the "cork" is 100% recyclable: Nomacorc's zero carbon footprint line, made from sugar cane. These grapes are grown around Lake Preola, very close to the Mediterranean coast in Western

    Kanbara “The Bride of the Fox” Sake

    The color is clear, with just the slightest hint of straw. Green grapes and kiwi show on an intensely fruity nose. On the palate green grapes and pistachio give way to white pepper and cocoa. Clean and round, with a smooth mouth feel, this would pair well with stone crab.
