Yet again a great match for Sakana with Hsing/Mimi but this time Vollenweider provided good competition. The Omakase was same as last time, last day of the monthly menu so a good comp. Thought the food was actually a bit off compared to previous time but still what a great combo with the wines. — 3 years ago
Buen Riesling del Mosela, de
un buen productor como es Daniel Vollenweider. Los “Wolfer”, representan lo que sería un vino “Village” de la zona/pueblo de Wolf en Mosela. Este 2011, catado en 2020; presenta color dorado pálido, aun con algún destello verdoso. Potente nariz al inicio de Hidrocarburos, que se va suavizando y da paso a flores blancas, nectarinas y frutas tropicales. Persisten las notas a Petróleo o Keroseno.
En boca es un vino vertical, seco, gran acidez pero equilibrada, mineralidad. Corto. — 5 years ago
Shared with Fung and Jen. Just delicious in all aspects and little need for analysis. Yum. — 2 months ago
Nicely balanced sweet acidic muscular yet lively lithe texture. Great with pate from Wegmans but not as well received as Vollenweider for Mimi. — 3 years ago
Buen Riesling del Mosela, de
un buen productor como es Daniel Vollenweider. Los “Goldgrube”, representan lo que sería un Grand Cru. Este 2012, catado en 2020; presenta bonito color dorado intenso. Potencia media en nariz, al inicio muchísimo de Hidrocarburos, que se va suavizando y da paso a flores blancas, nectarinas y frutas tropicales. En boca es un vino vertical, seco, con estructura, muy fresco, gran acidez pero equilibrada, mineralidad. Largo recorrido. Marida muy bien con Tartar de Salmón. — 5 years ago

Yellow cherry jam and grapefruit marmalade are mingled with honey, marzipan and caramel on the nose and the glycerol-rich, seductively creamy palate of this colorful bottling from fruit harvested well into TBA territory. It finishes with prominent but not excessive sweetness, a soothing sense of saturation, a mouthwatering lick of salt and prodigious sheer persistence. Very much a wine with a future!

A noble musk indeed. A petrol white flower. So expressive, so explosive. Acids strike a high note just as a suppleness envelopes your palate. — 8 hours ago
