- Reisa Jiang added a new meal Dinner at Refectorio Restaurant at Refectorio
2016 Dominio del Aguila Albillo — one of my favorite Spanish white wine. Had the pleasure to visit the winery the day before, loved the winemaking style and philosophy. The 2016 shows some reduction and lees characters, electrical mineral palate with hint of saline. Amazing energy and tension, still got so much aging potential. The depth and length... More
2016 Dominio del Aguila Albillo — one of my favorite Spanish white wine. Had the pleasure to visit the winery the day before, loved the winemaking style and philosophy. The 2016 shows some reduction and lees characters, electrical mineral palate with hint of saline. Amazing energy and tension, still got so much aging potential. The depth and length are definitely premier cru worthy.
2007 Gantenbein PN — a rare find in Spain (or outside of Switzerland for that matter). Mineral and earthy with good freshness with its typical spicy, herbal notes. More savory and meaty than other vintages I’ve had before.

- Reisa Jiang added a new meal Dinner at Refectorio Restaurant at Refectorio
Refectorio Restaurant, 1 Michelin star — located inside Abadia Retuerta LeDomaine, a 12 century abbey converted hotel. Superb setting in the former refectory for the monks made it an extra special experience. Tasting menu was well constructed and service was top notch. Favorite dish was the endive baked in clay skin, best endive I’ve ever had. •

- Reisa Jiang added a new meal Dinner at Taller Arzuaga at Taller Arzuaga
99 Tondonia Blanco — quite evolved with oxidative and tertiary honey nutty notes, rich palate with phenolic grip, good concentration but not much primary fruit left.
19 Comando G El Tamboril — expressive floral nose, red cherry, spices and herbs. Great tension on the palate from chalky tannins, minerality and fresh acidity. Very pleasant to drink... More

19 Comando G El Tamboril — expressive floral nose, red cherry, spices and herbs. Great tension on the palate from chalky tannins, minerality and fresh acidity. Very pleasant to drink at this stage, might benefit from a few more years in the bottle to gain some weight.

Taller Arzuaga, 1 Michelin star — experience started with appetizers inside the cellar overlooking the bodega’s winemaking facility, then moved on the the kitchen and finally to the table. The meal features produces from the land and the sea, prepared with Peruvian and Castilian cooking techniques. Favorite was the prawn, juicy and full of umami.... More

- Reisa Jiang added a new meal Dinner at Zuberoa at Zuberoa
Zuberoa, located in a rustic Basque farmhouse on the outskirts of San Sebastián, a perfect place for some traditional roasted suckling pig and lamb. Other dishes have got some modern elements here and there, all well executed, definitely worth a visit. •

- Reisa Jiang added a new meal Dinner at Asador Etxebarri at Etxebarri
Another boozy lunch at Etxebarri, the 1961 vs 2016 Simon Bize Vergelesses was an interesting comparison, the continuation of the style was evident. Also impressed by the 18 Richard Leroy, very expressive and complex for such a young vintage. 18 Mugneret-Gibourg La Colombiere was also open and ready, creamy floral nose was quite close in style to Roumier...
