Comazono Vineyard Pony

Jul. 16

After the stay-home working, I cooked dinner.

 

Sashimi

 

 

Steamed Paella

 

 

At first, I grilled all ingredients except rice.

Then I mixed steamed rice with saffron and all ingredients.

 

 

It’s delicious!

 

 

 

1st Comazono Vineyard Pony Blanc 2019  1480 yen  Sample Tasting

I was gifted this brand-new wine from the winery.

Comazono Vineyard is a small winery established in 1953 in Enzan Yamanashi.

Mr. Kondo, wine maker, has a unique carrier.

He used to be a car technician.

He can repair all wine making machines.

Also, he produces his wine very strictly. He always working at the vineyards and winery his alone.

It is made from 100% Koshu grown in Yamanashi.

I felt very fresh aroma, clear fruits, nice acidity and minerals.

It is a really pure style of Koshu wine.

The price is super reasonable.

Is it undersold?

 

 

2nd Comazono Vineyard Pony Rouge 2019  1480 yen  Sample Tasting

The red is made from 100% Black Queen, which is Japanese hybrid grape variety.

I felt rich fruits, good acidity, mild tannin and comfortable after taste.

Black Queen often has too strong acidity but this one is very elegant.

I like this dense taste and flavor.

I am sure it is a very nice red wine made in Yamanashi.

Again, the price is super reasonable.
