"Cellar Selection Sparkling Sauvignon Blanc"
This is a rare sparkling wine made from Sauvignon Blanc, a grape variety representative of New Zealand.
The bubbles are elegant and delicate, and the taste is refreshing with aromas of citrus fruits such as grapefruit and herbs.
Please chill thoroughly before serving.
Incidentally, it uses a resealable cap called Zork, so no opener is needed. You can enjoy a good head of foam even the next day.
This is perfect as a snack!
Raw fish can sometimes have a stronger fishy smell when paired with wine, but if you buy sashimi from the supermarket, try rinsing it immediately with water and then marinating it in salt and sake.
Its compatibility with wine improves dramatically.
To pair this wine, choose a citrus-based dressing.
"Riscal Tempranillo"
This is a casual line bottle from the producer of the wines featured on Cotoshière's wine list.
This is a full-bodied wine with rich, concentrated blackberry-like fruit flavors and a lingering finish of spices such as black pepper.
This is perfect as a snack!
It also pairs perfectly with Kansai's soul food, such as okonomiyaki and takoyaki!
This sauce has a strong presence that can stand up to the rich flavors of yakiniku sauce and Worcestershire sauce, which are made with a variety of ingredients such as fruits and spices.
