Oct. 30
I had a private dinner with Marie & Jose Conde, who are owner of Stark Conde in South Africa.
We met at Rigoletto Wine & Bar in Marunouchi.
We met at the first time since I had visited to the winery in South Africa in February 2020 before covid-19.
All of the wines were by BYO.
Jose raved about Kobe Reserva Chardonnay very much.
He said, “ It was very nice Chardonnay. I like the very pure fruits, clean citrus and fine minerals. The style is the Japan Chardonnay. This one is the best Japan Chardonnay I have tasted ever.”
I was very happy hearing it!
Of course, we often sent email each other and sometime had an online-meeting.
However, real meeting is very different.
We talked a lot. We had three year’s talking tonight.
We had very good wine, very good foods and very nice talking.
After the dinner, we enjoyed a glass of Champagne at the terrace of the restaurant.
It was a very, very special night for us.
Thank you very much!!
