No Wine Day
Dec. 20
The temperature in my area was -3°C in the morning.
Also, you have recording snowfalls in North Japan.
I cooked dinner, Kimuchi-Nabe.
How many times I have a Kimuchi-Nabe in this season.
1st Kizan Wine White 2020
When I have a Kimuchi-Nabe, I often choose an organic white wine which has big fruits and moderate acidity.
However, I chose Koshu wine made by Kizan.
This one is a light-elegant white wine but also has a big allowance for foods matching.
I felt elegant fruits, pure acidity and very nice minerals.
It was very good for Kimuchi-Nabe.
2nd Kizan Wine Red 2020
Kizan Red used to have a very strong acidity because of the character of Black Queen, which is a hybrid grape variety in Japan.
You couldn’t find a red wine made from 100% Black Queen except very few ones before.
However, I can’t say “strong acidity” for this new vintage.
I felt pure red berries, fine acidity and elegant tannin.
It was a really nice red wine.
I am sure again that Kizan Wine is very special.
It was very good for Kimuchi-Nabe, too.
