Hakkasan San Francisco Wine
Harmony: “The Tuesday Tasting”
Every week, Hakkasan’s wine team conducts a dedicated tasting session, trying out new wines with at least four different dishes from the menu. If a wine does not work with one dish — even if it is great with the others — it does not make the list.
All of our wines (with the exception of the fine vintages) are continually tasted as the vintages change, to ensure that they complement our cuisine.

Gamay: cru Beaujolais There is potential future over the “Noveau craze" for this characterful grape variety. Red wines from the 10 crus of Beaujolais have their own distinct per- sonality and are very reflective of their particular terroirs, especially when it comes to the different soil types. The best examples develop in the bottle and can take on Burgundian qualities of structure and complexity
