Wines again Chinese, and only rice wines. One for 5 Euros/bottle one 3 Euros/bottle. Both dry. The more expensive one had this slightly bitter almond taste, which paired very well with the shrimps. Still I think, a Martavello would win the competition

I cooked another time in my airbnb kitchen. This time I got seafood from the wet market. Whereas the price for vegetables is extremely low, this is not the case for fresh seafood. I bought big shrimps and scallops 扇贝). About 1 Euro/scallop and 4 Euros for 500 g of shrimps. This seems still very low compared to European prices, but it is not cheap for typical Chinese shopping. The shrimps were big and dark and still alive, when I bought them.

Part of the shrimps I peeled and cooked them together with spring onions and other herbs and mushrooms. This should become the condiment for the dumplings. The other shrimps I pan fried together with the scallops and a good amount of spring onions. Fabulous taste of fresh seafood, although the scallops did remain a bit sandy. I had some quail eggs also. I found Soya sauce in the kitchen and again spring onions.

Cooking in an airbnb, not having many ingredients is kind of an adventure!

Description

I discovered this Rosè in 2013. It captured me immediately. I dislike "lightweight" Rosè, worst is the Zinfandel from California, but also the Cerasuolo from Italian's Abbruzzi is not for me. This wine is different. It is strong with 15% alcohol, but nevertheless perfectly harmonious. With food it is a kind of swiss "knife" wine. But I can simply have it when I want to have a drink before dinner.

It goes well with spicy foods and dishes , with nuts as seasonings——such as Sichuan food，the wine will contribute complexity to the dual，and you can admire the structure better with food. also pairing this wine with crab is a genius touch！

Astonishing stable quality through different vintages. And a price/quality ratio hit! It has become lighter though through the years. The 2018 edition is more elegant than those before. More citrus and st onefruit than tropicals, less alcohol (13.5%) ..Still one of my favourite Rose's

Notes

This Rosè wine is 100% from "Gamay del Trasimeno" autoctonous Grapes. "Gamay del Trasimeno" is an autoctonous grape, which grows only around Lago Trasimeno in Umbria. It is not related to the French Gamay, but genetically part of the Grenache Group.
