Gin no Sei is a rice type that is used to create sake wine. Many different brands feature the Gin No Sei rice variety and it is used in a handful of various sake wines. The sakes that use the Gin No Sei rice variety are typically crafted in the Akita prefecture. Since the methods of sake brewing are ever-changing, these changes have allowed sake to be produced in new ways, thus increasing the quality of sake. Although the Timeless Wines Koshiki Junzukuri wine sticks to the label of brewing sake the old fashioned way, many breweries are choosing to adapt to new methods. The Akitabare brewery crafts sakes the old fashioned way and their sakes typically cater to sake lovers and experienced wine drinkers. These wines are aromatic and have a very unique taste, since they have been crafted according to tradition. The Amanoto wine from the Asamai Shuzo brewery also is brewed in the Akita prefecture, along with Dewatsuru Sakura Emaki, Manabito, Yuki no Bosha, and Beni Mansaku sake wines. Each one of these sake wines has a unique and distinct taste due to different brewing methods, but the wines have been crafted from the Gin no Sei rice type.

Buccella Cuvee Katrina Eileen Napa Valley is made from 100% Cabernet Sauvignon.
Named after our first-born daughter, Cuvée Katrina Eileen is primarily composed of fruit from a vineyard in the Western Hills of Yountville, where yields are miniscule. The extremely rocky soil of the vineyard produces concentrated clusters of perfectly ripened Cabernet Sauvignon. In German, the name “Katrina” represents purity and fittingly, this wine is made entirely from the Cabernet Sauvignon grape, providing a pure expression of this decadent varietal. It also reflects our daughter’s personality with flavors that are complex, unreserved and expressive.
Always a 100% Cabernet blend, our 2017 Cuvée Katrina Eileen is an opulent and mouth-enriching wine. Captivated by the inky-black color, luscious scents of dark espresso and cinnamon stick leap out, along with powerful elements of graphite and cassis. Remarkably rich and seamless, while boasting flavors of blueberry compote, dark chocolate and black raspberries, this is a compelling and luxurious wine focused upon velvety texture, silky tannins and incredible length. An intentional breadth on the palate and length in the finish are hallmarks of this wine.
Segries Tavel Rose is made from 50% Grenache, 30% Cinsault, 15% Clairette, 5% Syrah.
The age of the vines is 30 years. Traditional vinification at low temperature, "vin de saignée" with a maceration during one night in cement vat.
This is large for a Rose...structured and focused, with the color of dark ruby. The nose is loaded up with fresh fruit. Strawberry, blackcurrant, and raspberry beam from the glass. On the palate, the mouth-feel is ripe and succulent. It has strength, but maintains its fresh and crisp expression. The finish is filled with Asian spice and slight hints of smoke. Drink this juice now or over the next year or two.
