Wine encounters in a recent family trip

As I mentioned in the last post, we just came back from a family trip to Tokyo and Shanghai. There was not much as far as vinous encounters in Shanghai, but we did consume some bottles which we brought over for various dinners - Torres Salmos 2012 and Gaja Ca'marcanda Promis also 2012, both bought in Tokyo and which went down a treat.

We had some sake as well as various wines for the various meals, including a Chablis 1er Cru (which did not go with the oysters, at least not as much as the sake we were having), a Steinberger Kabinett (which matched the smoked salmon a little less than the sake again (another one)) and the Il Chiusa from Castello di Ama. My problem was that having faithfully taken tasting notes and pictures of bottles on my smartphone,I proceeded to lose it on the last night, so now I am left with no record of them after all!!
