It has a sweet aroma like Shaoxing wine. It has a refreshing sweet taste when sipped.
Easy to match with food. — 5 years ago

221/5/11 with chicken wing and feet, Shaoxing wine, goji berries and snap peas, omelette, etc. this started a bit severe, with Islay peat smoke and stone - not overly tertiary yet - and it opened and gained youthfulness with air. Plummy, woodland fruit, spices just peeking out around the edges, and a nice balancing acidity - still emerging from its middle-aged quiet phase, but quite enjoyable, and a lot of pleasure and interest for the money. — 4 years ago
Very surprised that my hometown winery could produce such fine wine. I likes its dark color and berries smell, a bit sweet and low tnnins. it's a great value for everyday drink. — 5 years ago
Needs to be drunk with chinese cuisine and at room temperature This is the ideal pairing in my mind to the dazzling flavour complexity of chinese food in one bottle — 9 years ago

I was shopping for a Shaoxing rice wine which was called for in a recipe I was cooking. I did not find it, but figured that sake should be a good substitute, since it is rice wine. The Dreamy Clouds has alcohol at 15% abv and cost $16 for the 300 ml bottle at Whole Foods Market. That's a bit more than I want to pay for a wine for cooking, but I figured I would drink the rest.
This wine has a typical sake flavoring of minerals and lychee, but is quite a bit drier than the usual cloudy sake. It was great for cooking, and not that bad for drinking, although I would still rather have a Chardonnay, Roussanne or dry Riesling for either purpose. — 5 months ago
