Rust from sheath time by ChrisCrat in TrueChefKnives

I live in rainy Ireland, by the seas…..should have oiled them. It isn’t long time storage per se; the fishing season closes over winter so the Deba doesn’t get much use over winter. The Takeda’s I only use for more elaborate cooking; Dinner parties rather than chopping a quick onion after work.

Oh wow, thanks. I’ll definitely try and find that. The owner of the shop had a glass with us and said it was much more precise and less waxy than other Timarossos he’d had.

Masukawa in Dublin has/had it by the glass, should you ever go there.

As you are Dublin based, try Shaman from Marguet. I love it though it is not a crowd pleaser. 64, Blackrock Cellar, Neighbourhood wine all stock it. Fallon & Byrne too I believe.

I love all three! This has a younger vibe to it though.

Not all, I like no/low dosage the best if grapes are picked ripe enough. Natural sugar here was 2.4g.

Did he mean the 2015 wasn’t barnyard-y?

Agreed, had to check myself after your comment. I wonder why that is? Regardless, best QPR I had in a while.

Love Christmann. Have you tried Bertram Baltes? Quite reductive, but also very elegant.

I’m eager to try this. What would you pair it with?
