Mr. Hirakawa taught us a lot of details for grape growing and wine making.

 

Everybody was deeply impressed in his lecture.

Then we tasted his all wines already released.

Because every wine is very small product, these wines are selling only limited users.

They were outstanding.

Tasting the fine wines by hearing winemaker talking was very special thing.

It was a wonderful event.
