Okunomatsu Adatara Ginjo Sake, Fukushima Prefecture, Japan: This graceful sake opens with a fragrant bouquet of honeysuckle and jasmine, then unfolds into layers of ripe peach, juicy pear and honeydew melon. Its bright core keeps the silky, creamy texture lively and beautifully balanced throughout. Use it to make cocktails, sip on its own, or alongside sushi and vegetable tempura.

Rosés
Château de L’Aumérade Style Rosé 2024, Côtes De Provence, Provence A.P., France: This pale coral blend of Grenache Noir, Cinsault and Syrah pours with bright clarity and exudes mouthwatering citrus zest—think ruby-red pomelo and a kiss of mandarin pith. Beneath the citrus drive, a bouquet of fresh herbs and spices flicker at the edges. The palate is crisp yet generous, with a tension between juicy acidity and a tender, almost creamy texture that carries through to a brisk, herb-tinged finish. Works nicely with seared scallops drizzled with lemon-herb vinaigrette or tomato-and-goat-cheese tart with a sprinkle of fresh oregano. Rosé food pairings: pan-fried pickerel, steamed shrimp with lemon butter, salads. Drink: 2025 - 2026 43568 12.5% XD 750 mL $19.95 Score: 88/100. July 2025.
