Herald & Teni's Place, Hong Kong
Tasted Saturday, April 4, 2020 by Goldstone with 99 views
Teni kindly invited us for a home-made Spanish dinner to celebrate the end of their 2-week self-quarantine for Covid-19. The dinner was fabulous and Herald provided the appropriate wines.
This Champagne never fails to please....
This was served as 'goujons' rather than thinly sliced, which makes it much harder to get right...but this was cooked perfectly. Fresh and succulent.
An Indonesian 'twist' on traditional French Lobster Bisque.....wow, this was good and paired really well with the older Rioja because the Tumeric in the soup brought out the typical spice of the Rioja.
Fresh succulent Hokkaido scallops and Boston Blue Lobster claws and tail....no Chorizo but some Indonesian spices to substitute. Wow, this was good....
Herald's uncle in Amsterdam is famous for his Paella and Teni had clearly taken a lot of notes on her last visit :)

No detailed notes but this is an outstanding and classy Champagne which is hard to beat at its price point. Toasty and creamy enough to be a very welcoming aperitif but with enough structure to pair very well with seafood. A glass left unattended for 4 hours had lost none of its charm.
