Mia Prosecco

Colli trevigiani

sparkling (vino frizzante)

$7.99 @ Astor

mixes incredibly well for mimosas.

smooth, a very fruity dry.

Ozeki Dry Sake, Junmai

$4.99 (w/15% off, 4.24)/750mL @ Astor

Wow. this is pretty much disgusting. only good for cooking or mixing crappily. no taste besides lighter fluid when chilled, and burns and STILL tastes like lighter fluid when warmed/hot.

Abita Pecan Harvest Ale

$11.49 or something /6pack @ gristedes on 1st. no ABV?

uh. it doesn't taste like anything D:. really needs to be served warm. what pecan? suffers from being far too thin. not exactly gross, but definitely wouldn't buy again

Barkan Classic Pinot Noir

Israeli pinot noir

$15 @ libations (i mean, really, wtf? whats up with the wine list here... still bowled over)

decent. tasty, good with food, not super characteristic

Goose Bay Pinot Noir 2007

$26 @ libations for dinner (again, cheaper than you'd find in stores... so weird)

very earthy, practically fungal. not too heavy bodied, intensely flavorable, and great with a steak sandwich to boot. absolutely delicious. will deifnitely have to try more nz pinot noirs D:

Cloudy Bay Sauvignon Blanc

$19/bottle at Libations for dinner out

(unbelievable prices... cheaper than at the store o_O... I have to wonder who wrote up the wine list, and if its a typo or not...)

Really quite delicious; nice fruit flavours with that characteristic kiwi sauvignon blanc twinge. not super exciting, but the best nz sauvignon blanc i've had. forgot what vintage it is

Hakushika Fresh & Light Sake

300mL from astor

Wonderful classic sake smell. musky sweet rice. taste is a bit more one dimensional, a little too thin, alcoholic, not super great. a decent standard sake but that's about it. also too thin to have hot.
