A Cherish Night

感謝一晚的時間比大家可以放鬆，可以暢快地飲新既酒

黎到中環 La Cabane - 一間專賣 Organic / Biodynamic Wine 既地方

大家坐向 Bartender Table 睇份 Wine List ，對住 Wine List 我雙眼發光，好多酒我都未聽過，再 Search 過好多酒鋪都冇得賣，原因都係酒莊唔出名，產量唔多，市場未必大賣

不過多得你帶我去，我試到好幾款酒

魚仔唔鯹 ，味道都唔錯 !

Jaume Tikka the Cosmic Cat shiraz grenache McLaren Vale 2016

The Gentle Folk Positive Vibration Pinot Noir Adelaide Hills 2016

Domaine Valette Macon Chaintre Vieilles Vignes 2013

再去 Caprice Bar 

佢地有個 Cheese Wine Pairing - 3 glass , $390 , 一個字: 抵 !!! Pair up 左 Sancere , Jura 黃酒及Bordeaux Merlot and Cabernet Franc Blend (估計右岸 Frosac)

借相... (因為我 out focus 影唔到)

再次去返依間法式小餐館 - Haven

同朋友去Haven , 我再次去 Haven ! 無他既 , 因為佢比我一個家的感覺

今次帶支白酒 (Josmeyer Pinot Gris - Biodynamic Wine) 去 match 下


Tuna 他他 - spice 份量重手少少 , 令到 Tuna 味被蓋走.....


蟹餅莎莎 - 蟹肉份量應該再多d就較好 , 依個份量不足 , 欠缺蟹肉清甜


54度慢熟鱈魚 - 出奇地好食 , 皮香脆 , 肉滑 , 唔錯 !!!

走地珠雞 - 皮香 , 但肉汁走了不少 , 我想Tender 多D , 希望下次會好d , 幾match 支pinot gris

法國五月 - Champagne

當然要飲下應下節咁 !

NV Cuvee Brut Tradition, Champagne Drouilly L. V., Champagne ($295)

The Cuvée Tradition comes from a remarkable blend of 80% Pinot Noir and 20% Chadonnay of the 2010 harvest.

This Producer has made the choice to age all his Champagnes a minimum of four years on lees before disgorging.

Appearance: Pale Bright Lemon Yellow , 泡散得好快
Nose: Yeasty, Apple, hint of honey, hint of white flower, hint of pear
Palate: High acidity, Savoury (Mineral), Vibrant on tongue, tannic due to high proportion of pinot noir, After taste with a bit bitterness, a bit oily
Conclusion: Acceptable

靜態之後(白酒)，花香凸出，酸度輕輕降低，結尾冇左微苦，變相有輕輕甜，鑛物咸味明顯，都唔錯既。但我未必再飲，對我黎講，依隻酒欠缺 toast，麵包香
