此「李白」並非彼李白, 此「李白」乃是一瓶曰本的 rosé sake,本小姐第一次是在一間日式超市試飲,因為顏色漂亮,味道清甜,便買入幾瓶。
不過本小姐對「李白」酒莊的認識早在這瓶rosé sake之前。差不多一年前, 曾去過一次sake dinner, 當晚有4個sake酒莊代表, 共8瓶特別佳釀可以品嚐, 全都是純米吟釀或以上級數, 配上日式串燒, 至今仍印象深刻。 Continue Reading »

How are you spending your Christmas? Well, it depends on your age group, I guess.

It was a wine tasting lunch on a cold and breezy Saturday. The wine was known as Chateau Mouton Barone Philippe in the 70’s, but now everyone knows the wine as Chateau d’Armalihac – a fifth growth in the 1855 Bordeaux Classification.
As with most of the Chateaus in Bordeaux, the history of the vineyard had gone through many changes and ownership. It was sold to Baron Philippe de Rothschild in 1933 and became part of the Mouton Rothschild family. Continue Reading »

"I Love Paris" Artist: Clifford Bailey
When I finished the piece on Opus One, it strikes me that both Robert Mondavi and Baron Philip Rothschild were very active in promoting arts and music in their days. Appreciation of art, music, food and wine should all be a part of the culture one grow up with.
