2004 Roche aux Moines Savennieres

1996 Dominique Laurent “Bonnes-Mares” Grand Cru

Vegan gazpacho with roasted tomatoes, roasted poblano, white beans, roasted almonds and cashews, cucumber, and caramelized white onion.

Dessert at Melibea

We saved the best for last… Our third bottle at the fine, newly opened Mediterranean tapas bar Melibea, is this stellar offering from masters of Jumilla, Bodegas El Nido. The 2010 “Clio” is dense and lush but with long palate profile and refreshing acidity. Layers of sense black and blue fruit five way to a velvety texture and complex mineral notes.

Excellent, Loire-styled Chenin Blanc from one of the leaders of biodynamics in New Zealand, the Morgan “Te Aria Vineyard” Chenin from Gisborne shows classic green apple and lanolin notes with clean linear structure and refreshing, complex, evolving finish… Reminds me of good Vouvray sec. If love to taste a bottle with 5 years of cellaring.

Having a refreshing glass of sparkling Mas de Daumas Gassac at very very vegan friendly wine bar / restaurant in Astoria on Broadway and 32nd street.

If ever you’ve been the sort of person to lie prostrate error The Lord imploring Him to combine the finer points of vanilla and cherry coke in an alcoholic rum based beverage, well then pray no more… This is the Rob Float at Williamsburg’s “Rabbit Hole”. The cocktail itself is made with Goslings Black Seal Rum, Coca-Cola, and a house made cherry liqueur that is a blend of several famous spirits infused with star anise and cinnamon. The finished product is well balanced and not too sweet with pronounced vanilla, cinnamon, and cherry flavors… Something wintery but also capable of conjuring up old timey soda fountain nostalgia.
