1st Jacques Picard Brut NV 5,500 yen

As it’s Valentine’s Day today, I opened a bottle of Champagne.

It is made from Chardonnay, Pinot Meunier and Pinot Noir grown in Cru Berru, where is located north-east of Reims.

I felt a very nice green apple, very rich fruits and very elegant small babbles.

What a nice Champagne is this!

Why a fine Champagne is so tasty?

 

 

2nd Kusunoki Winery Passage Rouge 2013

Kusunoki Winery is a small-premium winery in Nagano.

I bought this at some wine shop in Nagano.

It is made from Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Cabernet Franc.

It is not a big style wine but is very well balanced.

I felt good a mature nuance and elegant fruits.

It is a very fine Japanese red wine.

I love Kusunoki Wine!
