Cool episode, Gary! Didn’t know you were a big sake fan!

QOTD: Otoko-yama! Actually not a big sake fan- I prefer Japanese Shochu (Japan’s distilled alcohol) instead, but I recently tried Otoko-yama at an izakaya on St. Marks and it wasn’t bad.

How come you don’t have a single episode about plum wine? Please consider to taste some of those asian fruit wines.

This is after the fact. Sake is great especially with sushi.
I like the creamy colored kind.

Jets have a chance of beating Dallas. This was a pretty safe bet.

QOTD.
A friend’s(Helen)Brother(George)traveling back from Japan brought a Sake I tasted that I called “Dangerous” It was soooooo smooth I would have EASILY drunk
the whole bottle right there. That started my love of, and alas my search for
good quality sake. Edmonton Alberta Canada may have GREAT beef, bison, duck
but SAKE???? NOT. I have since requested from Helen’s other brother (Matt) a bottle of the Ancient Pillars and he, through great effort procured and delivered a bottle. I haven’t tried it yet but look forward to sharing it.
Wish you’d have another sake episode…or at least throw the occasional bottle of it into the mix?

Question of the Day: Which Pinot did you last Taste

Last Pinot I had was the 2005 Toulouse Vineyards Pinot Noir Estate. This is an Anderson Valley Pinot, which is a region I absolutely adore.

I had a vertical tasting at the winery of 2002 through 2006 (barrel), and this wine stood out. I’d love to see more shoes on Anderson Valley (Pinot Focussed in particular) and here what Gary has to say about Toulouse:
