Yamada Nishiki (Sake)
Filter
A short-grained rice comes from Japan and is used to produce some of the highest quality sake today. Desired by sake brewers, Yamada Nishiki absorbs water and dissolves very easily. Labeled the King of sake rice, Yamada Nishiki is fragrant with a soft, well-blended flavor. Bred in 1923 Yamada Nishiki is truly the most popular rice for sake, and is a cross between Tankanwataribune and Yamadaho. Nishiki rice is usually harvested in the narrow valley of the Tamba Highlands, which are located in the north of the Rokko Mountains. Sake rice is classified into five groups with only three being used for premium sake. The highest class of rice is then divided into two classes. Yamada Nishiki rice has a large grain and a distinctive white core that contains an abundance of starch. This makes it perfect for creating koji mold. Yamada Nishiki produces sake that is characterized as refined and complex increasing its depth of flavor during the aging process. Yamada Nishiki is not easy to cultivate, even though it has favorable features for sake brewing. Farmers must make sure that the roots and stalks are strong enough to support the rice because of its size. Yamada Nishiki grows taller than any other rice.

Belle Glos Las Alturas Vineyard Pinot Noir is made from 100 percent Pinot Noir.
Deep garnet in color with an aromatic medley of black cherry, marionberry, ripe plum and a hint of anise. Dark fruit on the palate with flavors of wild berries, caramelized oak and cacao nibs complemented by subtle notes of vanilla, cedar and a hint of lavender and forest floor. Rich and unrestrained, this wine’s abundant fruit is beautifully balanced by firm acidity and layers of red and black fruit.
Review:
Deep and dark aromas of black cherry, sandalwood and incense make for a heady nose on this bottling. The palate is big and bold, loaded with ripe black cherry and boysenberry flavors, as peppery, incense-like spices add complexity and the texture stays lusciously creamy.

Alain Jaume Ventoux Les Gelinottes is made from 50% Grenache and 50% Syrah
The colour is intense, purple-tinged garnet. The aromatic range of the nose goes from fresh berries to black fruit (blackcurrant, blackberry). The palate is full-flavoured, with very soft tannins and aromas of the fruit already mentioned. This is a gorgeous style of wine, fruity driven, for every day drinking...anytime !
