Wine Seminar in a Blizzard

Mar. 2

A terrible blizzard came to Sapporo in the morning.

 

 

A lot of train services canceled at Sapporo Station.

 

 

However my train ran on time to Iwamizawa.

 

 

 

I arrived at Iwamizawa in a blizzard.

 

 

I was invited to a wine seminar for wine producers and grape growers organized by Sorati-Area Gorverment as a guest speaker.

 

 

About 60 people in wine business gathered at Iwamizawa City Hall.

 

 

Mr. Bruce Gutlove from 10R Winery

 

 

Mr. Taichi Yamazaki from Yamazaki Winery

 

 

 

I talked about a wine market trend, the position of Sorachi-Area wine in the market, my expectation for Sorachi-Area wine future, etc.

 

Fortunately, my talk seemed to be welcomed by participants.

 

 

I was also interested in the seminar talked by other guest speakers, who were Doctor of Agriculture.

 

 

I was happy to join to the very impressive event today.

 

 

After the event, all express train services were canceled at Iwamizawa Station.

 

 

Then I took local trains and managed to arrive at Sapporo Airport.

 

 

I had a nice sushi dinner at the airport .

 

 

Then I took a late flight to Tokyo.

I tasted Furano Wine on the plane bought at Airport and poured it to a pet bottle.

 

 

 

Finally, I came back home safety.

Very good job!
