Felton Road Chardonnay was James' go-to wine several nights ago after a hot and humid day. Come and cool down at James Suckling Wine Central! The Felton Road Chardonnay Central Otago Block 2 2021 is available by the glass or in a magnum-size bottle!

Magnum of Felton Road Chardonnay hit the spot last night at James Suckling Wine Central. Served by the glass. It’s mostly from Wente clone chardonnay planted in the 1990s.

Wine lover and frequent JSWC visitor Mr. Alex Wong came by on Thursday night to enjoy our latest addition to the menu: Grilled Beef Short Rib. Braised in chicken stock and shallow fried to a golden-brown crisp, it’s a dish you can’t resist. Make sure to pair it with the Chateau Lynch-Bages or Tignanello, our special wines offered at a price close to retail.

James and Marie visited a sake brewery in Japan this spring, Domaine Kurodashō, known for producing unique rice field-specific sakes. The concept mirrors the single vineyard bottlings of wine regions such as Burgundy or Barolo.

Kurodashō offers three distinctive bottlings — Monryu, Fukuji, and Tako — highlighting different soils and microclimates. We now serve these sakes by the half glass using Champagne flutes, and due to their corked finish, we use Coravin to preserve their freshness. Additionally, we offer a sake flight for tasting and comparison. These pair beautifully with our crab tacos, roasted chicken, fish crudo, or beef tartare. To try these today, reserve your table here: https://www.sevenrooms.com/reservations/jamessucklingwinecentral/

Domaine Kurodashō Tako 2020 - HKD$85 per half glass
Domaine Kurodashō Fukuji 2020 - HKD$85 per half glass
Domaine Kurodashō Monryu 2021 - HKD$130 per half glass
