Just a reminder that I am holding a Sake Review contest this month. You can win two books on Sake and all you have to do to enter the contest is drink and review a bottle of Sake. Check out my prior post for all the details. There is less than a week remaining in the contest.
This is your chance to try a chilled Sake, to taste what is like. Why not take that chance? You might find find a new drink that you enjoy.

Saké Resources
Where can you buy Saké? Where can you find more information about Saké, including Saké reviews? What Saké books should you buy?
Let me provide you with some additional Saké resources, some places, sites and books that I recommend.
Saké Stores
Sadly, many wine stores carry few, if any, brands of Saké. But this is changing and more and more places are starting to carry Saké. I have three particular recommendations for stores that carry an extensive collection of Saké, places where you can find many different varieties of Saké.
True Sake: This was the first all Saké store in the U.S. country. Located in San Francisco, this is an excellent store with over 150 different types of Saké, all imported from Japan. I have been there and would highly recommend it. They have free tastings and host other events as well. They have a good website and they do ship as well.
Sakaya: This is a new all Sake store that opened last December in New York City. I recently visited this store and you can check out my review. I thought it was an excellent store with a diverse selection of Saké. If you are in New York City, you must stop here and check it out.
Sake Nomi: This is a new all-Sake store located in Seattle, Washington. I have not yet been there but their website is enticing. If anyone goes there, please tell me what you thought.
The Sake Shop: Located in Honolulu, Hawaii, this shop opened in January 2010, and I have not been here either, though it too sounds great, with a nice selection of Sake and regular tasting events.
Astor Wines & Spirits: This is one of my favorite wine stores in New York City and they have a large and diverse selection of Saké. They have a cooler area where they store many different types of Saké including some excellent Namazake.
Saké Reference Sites
Here are three websites that provide much information concerning all aspects of Saké.
Sake World: This site is run by John Gauntner, a leading non-Japanese authority on Saké. It is a very extensive site and you can also sign up for his Saké newsletter.
ESake: This is another large reference site for Saké, and John Gauntner contributes there as well.
Japan Sake Brewer's Association: This site has some basic information about Saké, its brewing process and breweries in Japan.
Sake Social: This site has a blog filled with plenty of educational info about Sake and it is also a source for purchasing Sake.
Saké Blogs
Though there are hundreds of wine blogs out there, the number of blogs dedicated to Saké is very small. Here are the best Saké blogs of that small group. Check them out for Saké reviews, articles, commentary and more.
Tokyo Through the Drinking Glass
Urban Sake
The Sake Diaries
Nihonshudo NYC
Saké Books
There is only a small number of Sake books available, with some of them out of print. Here is a list of about 20 such books, most which I own.

Smoked Cod & Lobster Chowder
It is a chilly day, the perfect time for some comfort food, such as a nice chowder. And now I have a new chowder to try and share with you.
I previously posted about how Chef Paul O'Connell of Chez Henri in Cambridge will be attending the Taste of the NFL, an annual event where a chef is invited to represent each NFL team. The event is held on the eve before the Superbowl. Each chef cooks up a special dish and the public is invited to taste all of these culinary delights. All of the ticket proceeds go to charity, to America’s Second Harvest, a national anti-hunger clearinghouse that funnels money to organizations across the country who feed the needy.
Chef O'Connell will be making Smoked Cod & Lobster Chowder with Chile-Lime Butter. Now that certainly sounds very delicious to me. I love chowder, especially seafood chowders, and it is great winter dish.
To my good fortune, Chef O'Connell has generously provided me with a copy of his recipe to share with my readers. Enjoy!
Ingredients
3 lb. Smoked Cod
1 lb. Cooked Lobster meat
1lb. Butter, unsalted
2 cups. Onion, minced
2 cups Leek, 1/4" dice
2 ea. Bay Leaf
2 tsp. Fresh thyme, picked and minced
6 cups Potatoes, peeled and 1/2 " dice (yellow potatoes like yukon)
1 cup white wine
5 cups fish fume
5 cups heavy cream
Sea salt and pepper to taste
Chopped parsley
8 tbs. Lime-chile butter
Directions:
1. Rinse the smoked cod in cold water for one hour. Pick through the lobster meat and cut into 1/2-inch pieces.
2. Place the butter in a large casserole over medium heat. Add the onions, leeks, herbs and potatoes and cook until the onions are soft and sweet stirring occasionally so as to not let anything brown.
3. Add the white wine and heavy cream and bring to a boil for 2-3 minutes.
4. Add the fish fume and the smoked cod and simmer until the cod is tender.
5. Add the lobster and season with salt and pepper.
6. Ladle into bowls and garnish with chopped parsley and the chile-lime butter. Serves 8 people

Federal Wine & Spirits
While walking around Boston this past Wednesday, I passed by Federal Wine & Spirits. Luckily, they were having a wine tasting so I stopped to check it out. Though I have been to this store several times before, I had never been around for their tastings before. And the theme of this tasting intrigued me.
Federal Wine & Spirits is a cramped little store with a small room on the ground floor and a larger area in the basement level. Yet they have an interesting selection of wines, including some rarities. They hold free wine tastings every Wednesday night from 5-7pm. The staff is very helpful and they have some knowledgeable staff.
The theme for the tasting was Montepulciano vs. Montepulciano: The Grape Vs. the Town. Interestingly, the Italian grape Montepulciano is not grown in the city of Montepulciano. Instead, the town of Montepulciano grows Pugnolo Gentile, a clone of Sangiovese. So, the tasting compared three wines from the town of Montepulciano (Sangiovese based wines) to three wines from Abruzzo made from the Montepulciano grape.
An intriguing idea and the type of tasting that I really enjoy. It is educational to make such comparisons as you truly gain an understanding of the differences between such wines. Such a tasting theme is far better than tasting just a random collection of wines.
We began the tasting with the 2006 Memo Montepulciano d'Abruzzo ($9.95). This was a light colored wine with lots of fruit flavors and a little spice. An easy drinking wine that would go well with pizza or pasta. A good value for the price.
Next, we tried the 2004 Avignonesi Rosso di Montepulciano ($15.95). This is one of the oldest wineries in Montepulciano, the estate dating back to the fourteenth century. The fruit flavors in this wine were less upfront, more subtle. They blended well with a bit of spice and herbal notes. A more complex wine that also had a nice, long finish.
For the third wine, we tasted a 2004 Valle Reale Montepulciano d'Abruzzo ($19.95). The nose was intriguing with dark fruit and dark spice aromas. This wine was richer than the previous two, with more noticeable tannins and a fuller flavor of dark berries. It had a lingering finish and was a very pleasing wine. An excellent buy for under $20.
The wines only got better. Next was the 2004 Polizziano Vino Nobile di Montepulciano ($32). This full bodied wine was rich with complex flavors of layered fruit and spice. There were some strong tannins yet they did not overpower. This is a definite food wine, yet one to linger over as well. It has a very long finish that is so satisfying that you don't want to end. An excellent wine.
My favorite wine of the tasting was next, the 2003 Cataldi Madonna Montepulciano d'Abruzzo Malandrino ($45.95). A very dark red wine with a vibrant nose of lush blackberry and spice. A full bodied and rich wine with lush dark berry flavors. A complex wine where every taste seems to bring different flavors. The lingering finish is seductive and silky. A hedonistic effort sure to please. I highly recommend this incredible wine.
The final wine was the 2001 Valdipiatta Vino Nobile di Montepulciano Vigna d'Alfieri ($54.95). This wine is made in a strictly traditional, organic style. This was a medium red color that seemed more tannic than the Malandrino. Its fruit flavors, cherry and raspberry, intermingled with herbal notes. It had a very long finish as well. Though this was a good wine, it was not quite my style of wine.
Overall, this was an excellent tasting. I generally preferred the wines from the Montepulciano grape though I very much enjoyed the others as well, except for the Valdipiatta which was just not my style. Kudos to Federal Wines for hosting this wine tasting. If you are in Boston, check out this store, especially on Wednesday evenings for their weekly tastings. Sign up for their newsletter too.
