Apr. 6
Today, I went out with daimajo-sama to see the cherry blossoms in the Tsurumi River.
The sky was cloudy, but the cherry blossoms were in full bloom.
It was very beautiful.
Today’s dinner was Sukiyaki.
I bought Japanese black beef from Tochigi.
The flesh was tender and juicy and tasty.
Wine of the Day
Montagne Noir Cabernet Sauvignon 2020 1,500 yen
Montagne Noir is a private brand that I developed and imported for GRN, a wine importer.
Like Relax Wine, it does not use any additives such as preservatives, gum arabic, or ascorbic acid.
The use of sulfite required during brewing is also kept to a minimum level that is surprising to the professionals
I felt berry fruits flavor with clearly expressed characteristics of Cabernet, well-balanced acidity and elegant tannins.
I think the nuances of moderate aging of the 2020 vintage are outstanding for a wine of this class.
It’s a Cabernet Sauvignon, but it comes in a Burgundy-shaped bottle.
It went well with today’s Japanese black beef sukiyaki.
