    mahinui ever more at home

    francis coppola claret 4 days ago

    this may the finest wine in its class

    it is relatively inexpensive and stands tall and broad shouldered in the crowd.

    Pretty presentation in the gold basket string. Bold, assertive, nuanced. I won’t get into all the words for the flavor. We had it tonight with island eggplant in a parmesan style but with other cheeses. Then chocolate. Great with both.

    Cabernet Sauvignon 1 month ago

    After finishing Bin2, the one I brought from home, Pu and I rode our rented motorcycle to look for a liquor store in Lamai beach and bought this wine. It was not so strong like Bin2 but tasted good. We finished it on our last night in Samui while having dinner and girly chat at Sabiengtaley.

    Rodney Strong Cabernet Sauvignon 1 month ago

    Mr M made a remark about this wine being not special and then had to take it back after he took a sip. If you look closely at the label you will note it has been tampered with. Mr M tried to remove the label. I think he had in mind folding it into his wallet so next time he is somewhere he thinks he can find this wine, he can be sure it is the very same wine. He likes it a lot.

    Time for some Volcano Wine 1 month ago

    This is volcano blush. It is a bit different than the Sofia of the prior entry, but similar in spirit and tone.

    We have a winery here at Volcano that grows grapes and makes wines. Not all its wines are made from grapes. If you were to pair a Volcano wine with a Northern California wine country feast you would go “paaawhhh!!!”

    But with fried rice and sambal and a side of sliced mango, or seared scallops with seaweed bits and taro home fries, or anytime on the lanai watching the apapane, Volcano Blush is very nice indeed. Even Mr M agrees.

    Last night 2 months ago

    my dear friend Terri came over for one last dinner and girls night at the rental house. I made a nice dinner with garlic chipotle marinated salmon, a salad, some French bread, antipasto – and, of course a nice bottle of wine!

    Here is the 2004 Jacob’s Creek Shiraz Cabernet we enjoyed, and the pretty flowers Terri brought from her garden for a centerpiece. GREAT evening!

    Last Thursday night 3 months ago

    my wonderful friend Terri came over to the rental house to catch up, bearing gifts – including a small box of chocolates from a local shop and a really great bottle of vintage 2007 J. Lohr Paso Robles Cabernet Sauvignon. It was very smooth, and I loved it, as well as the delightful company!

    The Easter wine 7 months ago

    This is a flouncy pink. No prom girl she, but a gorgeous full bodied red with the skins pulled from the mix early on, leaving this see through fantasy that is perfect for a warm afternoon.

    Sorry we drank so much before I thought to photograph the wine. We had it with salad dressed with nasturtiums, lavender, violets, and rosemary flowers, a squeeze of meyer lemon over it. Tritip and fingerling potatoes.

    This wine is just right for the afternoon, and can hold its own into the night too. Neither wimpy nor sweet, Sofia.

    Although 7 months ago

    I didn’t get a shot of it, we split a bottle of 2005 Franciscan Cabernet at Petterino’s Saturday night, and it was great!
