Lunch with dynamic Bordeaux producer Véronique Bonnie of Ch. Malartic-Lagravière and a chance to get an inside view of climate change, production advances, soils and more in one of my favorite AOCs.

Savory Umami flavors are notoriously difficult partners for many wines but they play nice with the subtle flavor of sake. With the irrepressible @looksmelltaste (Gabe Urrutia) as the guru, @sawarestaurant brought @sake.sip.savor to Coral Gables - brilliant pairings for four sake styles, one in a cocktail and three with some exceptional bites. Kampai indeed!
