Moscato 2010 from V. Sattui

This is the wine I got from V. Sattui, St. Helena.
2010 Moscato !!!! Desert wine, 10% alcohol by volume. It was the orange blossom aroma appealed to me. It's much cheaper if you buy it in the tasting room.

I took the $10 for 6 wine flight, which includes all the premium on the wine list. Fantastic experience. Should take your time to taste all the wine carefully. (some how the wine consultant might try to rush you a little, just take your time)

Will I go back again? I would like to explore other winery first.

Sayuri

Along with a very very tasty, one of the best Ramen in Katana Ya, San Francisco, I bought this bottle and couldn't finish it. It is said that Nigori, the creamy Sake is the original of all Japanese rice wine. It did taste a little bit of the aroma but, in general, this bottle is only ok.... will buy some lychee juice and mix with it.

Beautiful Bottle.............. will clean it and use it to contain pineapple juice.

Okinawa Palm

I got the recipe from Japan Times Online. Made a slight change on the proportion of the alcohol.

Recipe:

Awamori 1.3 pt
Malibu 0.7 pt

Orange Juice 2.o pt

Grapefruit Juice 2.0 pt

Stir over a glass with ice.

Though it looks like a glass of OJ to me, it tastes really good ^__________^

I bought this bottle of Awamori in a grocery store in Japan Town (Nihon Machi) in San Francisco. Besides a huge selection of imported wine, customers can also find a lot of imported food from Japan. Highly recommanded to any Japanese culture lover (and food lover).

The lable on this bottle is the primary reason I bought it as it seemed the lion was, staring at me and threatening me to bring it home, so... Superstitions, hahaha. It got a sense of Okinawan cultural style.

Anyway, the bottle contains 24 % alchohol by volume. It is regarded as a light Soju.

Make a wish with beer and fire.

Last week my friend and I went to Ocean Beach for Bon Fire. It was the night after Chinese Mid-Autumn festival. Anyway, we set up a fire with apple wood and played "Who's the Killer". And before we left, as good citizens, we exintinguished the fire with our beer. Before we did that, everybody made a wish (all very practical and nobody said "I wish for world peace"), then take a sip of the beer and threw it out on the fire. Yeah, a unique and crazy way to make wish.

Still, there were plenty of beer left, so, I just simply mix some with sprite.

We had a wonderful night without full moon. (too foggy)

Violent, Bloody, Healthy???

I am only doing the easy version of the Bloody Mary. Already a great fan of V8, the Hot & Spicy version cheers me up everyday and gives me fibre I need. The product gotta be promoted for your health's sake!!!!!

My advice is, if you drink V8 Hot and Spicy, don't put it on ice...just get it chilled in the fridge. But if you do it for cocktail, surely you need ice to help dilute the drink....

For V8 Hot and Spicy already has % of sodium, I see no point to put celery salt on top of the drink except for decoration's sake. (I sometimes think, if for the aesthetic reason, I would use grounded black pepper instead)

Should I call this Bloody Mary is Gothic drink??? (sorry, just finished reading Carmilla, can't help being dark and grotesque)

Recipe:

Vodka 1 part

V8 Hot & Spicy 6part

**Build on ice**

Asking for freedom? Cuba Libre

As you can see, the drink was done in day time.

The reason to pick this drink for trilal is that, I just watched Olympic Games, Women's Volley Ball, Cuba vs Poland online. It was not live but........frankly, I think the Cuba team did much better a few years ago. Their teammanship didn't impress me as much as the Poland team. So, wanna cheer them up in my own way, wanna see them shine in the Olympics!
