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.

Bavencoff Meursault Blanc is made from 100 percent Chardonnay.
Clear golden and green robe. Meursault shows a green golden color, leaning towards bronze as it ages. Limpid and brilliant, it exhibits silver highlights. The young wine is redolent of toasted almonds and hazelnuts in a floral and mineral (flint) setting. Butter, honey, and citrus fruits are also present. On the palate it is rich and ample with a nice balance between freshness and smooth nutty flavors. .
Aged in French oak barrels (50% new).
Noble and fine-textured fish or meat, blue cheeses and foie gras.
Fragrant aromas of yellow peach and ripe melon are found on the nose, interspersed with bright citrus notes. These continue on the palate with notes of creamy vanilla and buttery nuances on the long finish. Rombauer's signature bright acidity is evident throughout each sip, balancing the softness of the midpalate.
Pairings for this wine include crab cakes, barley risotto, and strawberry shortcake.
