Oeno Wine Bar and Kwan Court team up to illustrate Umami. This combined Sushi Wine Dinner  features five wines by Pacific Rim Winery and four course sushi menu presented by Kwan Court Executive Chef, Kong Wong.

The Fifith Sense: Umami
Umami is a fifth taste that we can perceive, in addition to sweet, sour, salty and bitter. Umami is what gives naturally brewed soy sauce its special typical flavour.  It is also popularly referred to as savoriness.

What a better pairing for sushi than Pacific Rim wines.  
Chenin Blanc
 Vividly bright with flvors of pear, quince, grapefruit essence and an eruption of floral aromas. 
Autumnus White
 A blend of Riesling, Chenin Blanc & Gewurztraminer. Bright and fresh in citrus flavors while balanced with a soft, round mouthfeel.
Autumnus Red
Sangiovese, Primitivo and Barbera. Soft and high in acid with some deep red fruit and floral tones.
Sweet Riesling
 Moderately sweet but balanced with enough of acidity to make it feel refreshing. This sweet riesling brings balance to all fiery fare. 
Framboise 
Liquid raspberries. The taste experience is intense with fresh floral aromas and bright red fruit flavors.

The true essence of Chalk Hill is its estate, a unique corner of California wine country. Here the quest for quality is the basis for all winemaking decisions on the Chalk Hill Estate. The vineyardists coax Mother Nature to create perfect fruit that, once harvested, is delivered to the winery with only the most delicate touches.

Yia Yia's Chef Jeremy Wade and Sommelier John Michael showcase Chalk Hill wines with exceptional taste.  These pairings are an exquisite match and will exceed your highest expectations.  What a great opportunity to try an impressive array of varietals from the renowned Chalk Hill Winery. 

2007 Chalk Hill Estate Chardonnay
93 Points Wine Spectator
"Bold, rich and full-bodied, with succulent fig, apricot, smoky oak and roasted marshmallow flavors that are complex and distinctive, finishing with a long, intricate finish and subtle flavor notes."

2007 Chalk Hill Estate Sauvignon Blanc 
90 Points Wine Advocate
"Two super efforts from the Sauvignon grape include the 2007 Sauvignon Blanc, which offers notes of honeyed grapefruit and white citrus in a medium-bodied, fresh, lively style with good texture as well as a crisp finish."

2006 Chalk Hill Estate Cabernet Sauvignon
90+ Points Wine Advocate 
"The 2006 Cabernet Sauvignon reveals slightly sweeter black fruits, more body and length, and a richer, fuller style. Finesse allied with substance as well as authoritative varietal flavor suggest it should keep for 15+ years."
