@domaine_henri_boillot is well known for its delicious white wines, but don’t dismiss its reds as they can be quite compelling as well, especially if you prefer a style that’s lighter yet with depths and length. I enjoyed both of these bottles paired with the modern Korean-influenced cuisine at @kinn.la . The #cortoncharlemagne 14 first bottle was premoxed (unfortunately a common problem with this domaine), but the 2nd bottle was sound albeit a bit reticent and probably could use more bottle age. Still good to try it though, thanks @sugarray8 for opening multiple bottles. The #closvougeot 2017 also needed air and presented with cool dark fruits, spices, and a linear palate with high acidity and length. Might be too subtle for some but I enjoyed it a lot. #DomaineHenriBoillot #HenriBoillot #grandcru #burgundy #hungrymd_burg #kinn #🍷 #wine #winestagram #winelover #winelovers #winepics #winegeek #wineporn #wineart #somm #grasslglass

I’ve been a fan of @_ki.kim since his days with @naemo.la . So when I heard he opened @kinn.la , I just had to check it out asap. Thanks to @sugarray8 we were able to get in on opening week and it was really good! Our #TastingMenu consisted of #Truffle Taco, #Branzino Mulhwe, #Mackerel with #BuckwheatNoodle, #Chicken Tok-Galbi with Seasoned Rice, and “Pig” Ice Cream, all at a surprisingly low price point. I really enjoyed all the dishes, all beautifully presented with balanced flavors full of umami. If there were any suggestions, it’s that I wished there were a couple more courses or some add on options for bigger eaters 🙋🏻‍♂️ For first week of opening it’s doing great though! #Kinn #ktown #koreanfood #food #foodlovers #foodies #foodpics #foodporn #gastronomy #foodphoto #eater #eeeeeats #f52grams #bonappetite #buzzfeast #foodgasm #beautifulcuisines #lafoodie

Just a few more bottles to conclude a fun birthday celebration for #KoIGmatt. #DomaineSylvainCathiard #VosneRomanee #Suchots 2005, a masculine rendition from a producer that typically makes highly aromatic and sensual wines. There’s lots of bright red fruits here back by a massive structure with dry tannins. Great potential here and should be awesome with more age. @pierreyvescolinmorey #chassagnemontrachet #GrandesRuchottes 2015. The reductive, high acid style of PYCM really worked well in ripe vintages like 2015 and this was a great wine that had everything in balance. Actually it’s the best Chassagne I have had from PYCM already but with room to improve with a couple more years of cellaring to round out the edges a little. Finally, @maisonjosephdrouhin VR #LesPetitsMonts 1993. There’s just something about aged Burgundy when the palate is fully resolved while there’s still plenty of fruit and acid to keep the wine fresh and alive. Just such a pleasure to drink. #hungrymd_burg #hungrymd_ligerbelair #hungrymd_pycm #whiteburgundy #josephdrouhin #burgundylover #🍷 #wine #winestagram #winelover #winelovers #winepics #winegeek #wineporn #somm #wineart #wineswirl #somm #grasslglass

A pair of Domaine Roulot Meursaults: Meix Chavaux 1996 was worrisomely dark upon opening but the wine wasn’t oxidized but just slightly advanced. Luckily with a good vintage, the wine was still reductive with a solid backbone of acidic core and citrus fruits to keep it quite alive and enjoyable. Tessons Clos de mon Plaisir 2013 on the other hand was totally fresh with that typical Roulot verve and elegance. There’s plenty of orchard fruits balanced by the perfect amount of acidity to give it such great drive. In a great spot now where the oak has nicely integrated and edges have rounded a little. One of the few times where I preferred a younger vs. aged wine. #DomaineRoulot #RoulotisRoulot #hungrymd_burg #boyzwhodrinkchardonnay #chardonnay #whiteburgundy #burgundylover #🍷 #wine #winestagram #winelover #winelovers #winepics #winegeek #wineporn #somm #wineart #wineswirl #somm #grasslglass

@comte_liger_belair_official #VosneRomanee #ClosDuChateau 2013, in a very good spot now where that sexy Liger Belair aromatics intersects with complexity from secondary development. There’s still plenty of fruit but the more relaxed palate with age definitely made it feel even more accessible. This has got to be the best “village level” red burgundy made nowadays. #comteligerbelair #ligerbelair #comte_liger_belair_official #hungrymd_ligerbelair #hungrymd_burg #burgundylover #wineswirl #🍷 #wine #winestagram #winelover #winelovers #winepics #winegeek #wineporn #wineart

#CedricBouchard #cotedebechalin 2008. At a great spot now where the age has given complexity to the wine while the palate has opened up quite a bit, yet there’s still plenty of fruit and effervescence to keep it fresh and energetic. Interestingly very little oxidation or nutty brioche, and as you could see the wine looked as young as ever. A very nice #aperitif to a wonderful party. #🍾#🥂#champagne #hungrymd_champagne #growerschampagne #🍷 #wine #winestagram #winelover #winelovers #winepics #winegeek #wineporn #somm #wineart #wineswirl #somm #grasslglass

A birthday celebration worthy of a King — #NoIGmatt King that is! And what a great evening with 5 good friends sharing these fun wines. Hard to pick a WOTN since everything showed beautifully.
