Sushi N’ Pessac

Friday night my wife once again decided she wanted to order some dinner delivered to the house, so she picked up the phone and called… me. Of course as always, I delivered and I didn’t get a tip either. This Friday night’s cuisine choice? Sushi, and we LOVE our sushi…

I called ahead to a spot on the way home called Crazy Sushi and ordered a plethora of sushi; salmon, albacore, yellowtail, white tuna and a couple of rolls. I figured by the time I got there the order would be ready, but traffic was lighter than usual and I got there before the order was done. I guess they felt bad that I had to wait around because they threw in some miso soup and an extra order of the white tuna sushi… Score!

Upon arrival home I discovered my wife waiting with chopsticks in hand, and while she unpacked the sushi, I uncorked a bottle of white I had in the fridge…

It was the 2005 Chateau de Rochemorin Blanc, from Pessac-Léognan. This wine is 100% Sauvignon Blanc. I immediately smelled aromas of limes and lemons, and in my mouth.. lots of citrus.. grapefruit… a little vanilla and a touch of mineral in the very back. A nice crisp, clean finish. The flavors of this wine danced with the sushi in my mouth. Fantastic! Oh, and Wine Spectator gave it a 90.

What a treat, a great bottle of wine and extra white tuna sushi. It doesn’t get much better than that.
