Year	Wine	Price	Rating
NV	To Yuen Restaurant, Central good dim sum, excellent pan fried gyoza with crab meat - so - ws	n/a	****
NV	Chee Kay Tea Restaurant, Causeway Bay famous won ton place (Chee as in pool in swimming pool). won ton is good, soup base is so so, too peppery. Great pork soft-bone. Again soup base no good. - so - ws	n/a	***
2003	Chateau Cabezac "Belveze" Grande Cuvee, Minervois In the beginning, it is alcoholic, has grape skin, thinner, pungent flower, mineral. Turns fruity and pleasant after a couple of hours. - so - ws	n/a	***
2002	Sea Smoke Botella Pinot Noir, Santa Rita Hills Tasted with Dom, 17 (Stephenie), 18 (Vanessa), Dad at Tu's. earth, berry, light and juicy, olive, grass, pleasant med finish - so - ws	n/a	***½
2002	Sea Smoke "Ten" Pinot Noir, Santa Rita Hills Tasted with Dom, 17 (Stephenie), 18 (Vanessa), Dad at Tu's. restrained nose of black olive and licorice in the beginning, aired to orange peel, vanilla, very full body, very concentrated, very bold. It can possibly fool me to think it's an Australian Shiraz. Tempted to give it 5-stars. But too atypical of the varietal to be rated outstanding... a taster hoping to taste a good pinot noir will not like this bottle. - so - ws	n/a	****
2004	Domaine Gros Frere et Soeur, Echezeaux Tasted with Dom, 17 (Stephenie), 18 (Vanessa), Dad at Tu's. earth, cherry, spicy, acidic, a hint of dried chinese plum, not too unusual. Perhaps should decant. - so - ws	n/a	***
