Wines

On winds of lavender and violet he distracts, and through gusts of Macha and anise powders he blinds. Taking his time he perfects his latest diabolical brew, like the best tonkotsu broth, with stewed spiced venison on the side, pepita green mole, and soy cured shoyu tamago; a most vengeful concoction he will delightedly serve only his most favored of enemies. He is as dangerous as the feared blue glaucus, shimmering like raku fired ceramics, ever changing, ever evolving, searching out the secrets of life, of desire and pleasure in the luscious loganberry, the aptly aged gouda, ogo-nori, ginger, cardamom and cassis. No culinary weapon will go untried, no mystical machination untested.

This temptress beckons, entices you forward as aromas of geranium, french lavender, and orchids float about her. Your well-worn leather boots and holster, a perfect complement to the satin and silks of your charming companion draw the eyes. Seated upon brocade Jacquard covered sofas you sip upon Crème de Noyaux with blood orange, a dash of bitters, and ginger while lighting a clove and watching visions dance through the smoke.

Maple syrup fountains cascaded down marble pedestals, their rich, amber liquid tempting him to dip in a chunk of Belgian waffle. As he gingerly approached one of the tables, a sense of overwhelming joy filled his heart. He picked up a delicate macaron, its shell as thin as paper, and took a bite. The flavors exploded on his tongue, a symphony of sweet and tart that transported him to a state of pure bliss.

Lost in reverie, she absorbs the beauty around, the rhythmic melody of waves colliding with the rocks below, and the distant chirping of birds greeting the new day, she takes another bite of the sumptuous passionfruit, apricot, bourbon vanilla cream tarte, elegantly plated on delicate porcelain adorned with daffodils. Grains of paradise dusted goldenberries disburse ambrosial aromas, still dancing upon her tongue, as she opens her eyes and is once more captivated by the stunningly brilliant, intricate, and eccentric, Egyptian mandaring garnet adorning her finger.

Ultraviolet. A spectrum beyond the perceivable. An attraction so deep it is unavoidable, like the draw of sweet lilikoi nectar to the carpenter bee, or the crushing grip of an eight-armed inked-up octopus, tossing tart Morello cherries, elderberries, heads of purple cabbage, black currants, umeboshi pickled Japanese plums and blood red pitaya in all directions with impunity and joyful abandon. It is the adrenaline rush of full battle paintball wars, tenacious as teenagers harrying their unsuspecting foes, splashing cherry cola, lilac and lime zest bombs on anything that moves.

The scent of freshly tilled soil, ripe blackberries, and subtle hints of lavender wafted up, carrying with it the whispers of generations past. With each sip, the wine unfolded like a rich tapestry, woven from threads of dark chocolate, black cherry, and a hint of nutmeg – a nod to the merchants who traversed the spice routes of the ancient world. The tannins were smooth and supple, like the worn leather of a well-loved saddle, worn from years of travel and adventure. As she savored the wine, she couldn’t help but think of the pioneering winemakers who crafted vintages sought after by kings and nobles.

The table is laden indeed, for nothing could be finer than roasted eggplant in a dry farmed tomato marinara sauce with fresh basil, Primitivo pomace wrapped leg of lamb, Kumamoto oysters dressed in champagne mignonette, Japanese mackerel nigiri sushi and Manilla clam miso soup. She certainly does not deign to skimp on the butter sprinkled with fleur de sel for the seaweed rye bread, nor turn her nose up at ti leaf wrapped lau lau with sweet purple poi. A perfect single black dahlia trimmed in crimson presides as the centerpiece, and like a tipsy snowball fight, the air shimmers with powdered cinnamon, shines like a fine cognac in a chrystal decanter, and sparkles with a dusting of purple peppercorn flakes, strawberry sorbet and the Amarena cherry waiting at the bottom of a bold old fashioned.
