Mar. 9
It was the second day of Foodex Japan 2016.
I was in charge of a wine seminar at Global Stage, which is one of the main event stages in Foodex.
It was a talk show style seminar.
I talked with Miss. Ayana Misawa, who is the winemaker of Grace Wine, and Mr. Makoto Endo, who is a vice chairman in Association of Nippon’s Wine Lovers.
We received over 100 parsons of audience.
Even though I have had a lot of wine seminars, it was the first time I had had a seminar of talk show style.
At first, I became nervous but gradually got better.
I managed to lead the talk show even though Mr. Endo shot a lot of jokings.
All of audience looked to be moved in Ayana’s unbelievable efforts for the grape growing and the wine making.
We got a big success.
I was sure it was a very good event.
Thank you very much!
After the event, Ayana came to our booth and tried to taste Grimau wines.
Surprise! She spoke Spanish very well.
I know she speaks French and English but I don’t know she also speaks Spanish.
She offered a compliment on the high quality of Grimau.
We received a lot of wine professionals at our booth.
We were very happy!
After the Foodex event, I took Julia and Joan to Yurakucho Wine Club.
They have been using Grimau Trancadis as house sparkling wine since opened in 2012.
Joan was very happy to see a lot of guests drinking Grimau wine.
We enjoyed very nice dishes.
Especially, Wagyu Beef Steak was outstanding.
It was soooooo delicious!
We tasted Kizan Koshu and Rubaiyat Merolt 2004.
Both wines were so fine.
Joan was really surprised at tasting very good matured Japanese red.
It was so nice dinner.
Thank you very much again!
I was so tired….
