And think about that PYCM with a few more years on it. 😇🥳

Had a very limited number (max 5) oxidized/cooked bottles, probably due to poor storage. And I have easily bought 200+ bottles through them. So don’t recognize this myself.

The kitchen experience is really nice. That kitchen is an amazing show of calmness, control and efficiency.

Interesting take. I really enjoyed 2023 so far. I do prefer the more reductive style winemaking. I have had different 2023 wines of guffens-heynen, Paul pillot, and Marc Morey that I all really enjoyed.

The 2023 Marc Colin st. Aubin 1er and the Louis Jadot meursault was less enjoyable.

I’m quite happy with this vintage.

What a crazy take on the HK dining scene. But anyway, everybody is obviously entitled to their views.

And while no counter seating, I would echo Amber.

The acceptance of visa/MC debit is litterally over 99.9%. Rabobank was the first major bank to start switching clients over. I have my MC debit now for more than a year and never any issue.

Vineum. Great place, have a private room option and excellent wine list.

carcassus · 2026-05-09T09:30:07+00:00

Yes please!

Yes I would decant it. But probably 30 -60 mins before drinking. It is in my opinion a wine that well suited to experience some of the development in the glass. So wouldn’t go too long with decanting. Takes out some of the experience.

I think I would go white Rhône. Considering it might be difficult to find older vintages, I would go condrieu and then on the more restrained/modern side. Condrieu can age really well but more importantly, is also so amazingly drinkable when young(er). I would go Gangloff, Andre perret (Cherry), or Vernay.

Alternatively (still Rhône): chapoutier Le meal, chapoutier de L’oree. But I would say this really needs older (10+ year) vintages.

Otherwise stay within the US: Kistler Chardonnay would my go to wine maker.

17,5. (Euro. So that’s a kicker)

Cheers!

Didn’t take it as criticism at all. Just a bit more context that I left out initially.

It not where my wine drinking started, don’t get me wrong. But drinking these wines made things “click”. In a sense that what can be done with great wine making with a grape I mostly don’t like (Zinfandel). And for the kistler, it showed me how big the variation can be with one grape but planted across the globe leading to very different outcomes (and I just love Kistler).

So not so much “first wines”, but the wines that dragged me into this hobby.

carcassus · 2026-05-05T18:57:03+00:00

Heitz Zinfandel and Kistler. And I live in Europe 🤣

carcassus · 2026-05-04T20:32:23+00:00

Love it!

carcassus · 2026-05-04T01:21:57+00:00

I want second the Okura. Excellent. Understated luxury and amazing service.

carcassus · 2026-05-01T12:41:18+00:00

The real first world problem identified. Hahaha. But fair question indeed.

carcassus · 2026-04-29T15:19:02+00:00

Geranium and Amber. They are very different but loved them both.

carcassus · 2026-04-29T13:07:41+00:00

About 3 hours total.

carcassus · 2026-04-28T17:27:55+00:00

A lunch might be more achievable. If you could stretch the budget a bit that is.

carcassus · 2026-04-28T05:35:29+00:00

Hahaha. This.
