Doew the bottle give any indicaton of where that "Shaoxing" wine is made? I've never seen anything like that and their website gives no information.

 

I do see from your bottle that it's salted. Never a good sign.

The Shaoxing that is unsalted will only be found in a liquor store.  Pretty much any of them found there will suit your purpose.  I'll try to take a photo of mine when I get home tonight....  it's perfectly adequate...

@Paul Bacino I should have said that in NY State,  an unsalted Shaoxing will only be found in a liquor store since our grocery stores aren't allowed to sell anything with a higher ABV than beer...  anything higher needs to be salted so that it is not drinkable... your state may be different and allow normal wines/spirits to be sold in grocery stores.

I got my bottle in Chinatown BOS  some time ago .  still good.

 

little English was spoken , but , they pointed out to me the selection

 

and i got the most expensive :  $ 7.00    its very nice for so many dishes,

 

oddly , or not so oddly , Total Wine does not carry the win.

 

so look to ChinaTown -ish.

I didn't mean to suggest that you did something incorrectly. I don't know exactly what you bought. Although, looking it up I found on Amazon that it contains caramel which is another bad sign. 

 

Going by Amazon's price, I'd say you could probably find something better for very little more.

 

Anyway, perhaps this discussion would be better in the Shaoxing Wine topic.

It's also difficult, nay, impossible for me to find in my township. There are a couple of large Asian supermarkets in an adjacent town. I went once and asked for it. The staff is not too fluent in English and I knew that so wrote the name on a piece of paper (because perhaps my poor pronuncitation was a big part of the problem,) a staff memeber passed it to another, they both had a laugh and handed the paper back to me. In B.C. the only "wines" available in grocery stores are heavily salted to discourage drinking. (Is that a problem in Asian countries?) I then went to our government liquor store who has a huge assortment of various types of sake and Korean fortified wines but apparently no shaoxing wine. 

ETA - we have recently been able to buy BC wines in selected grocery stores - nothing imported from other provinces or countries.

Griddled dinner sandwich made from a slice of sous vide pork roast (more information here). The condiments are mayo, mustard, butter on the outside, pepper jack cheese all before griddling. After griddling, I added spinach and sauerkraut. Delicious. Filling. I've eaten about half, and the rest may be tomorrow's lunch.

The potato salad comes from a recipe in Samin Nosrat's Good Things (eG-friendly Amazon.com link). I didn't have the dill or celery she specified, so I settled for quick-pickled red onion. More discussion about that recipe here.
