Visit to Fukushima

Jun. 12

I woke up at 5:00 a.m. and went to Kooriyama City in Fukushima.

I had a business meeting with York Banimaru about Beaujolais Nouveau and Christmas Sale (!).

 

 

Then I visited at York Benimaru Yokotsuka Store.

I was happy to see a lot of Cave de Relax wine there as usual.

I take a picture at a cooking show corner.

Wine needs a cook, you know.

I went right back home soon after the meeting in Fukushima.

1st Domaine de Montredon Viognier 2016 Sample tasting

I received this sample wine from Languedoc.

I felt very concentrated fruits.

It’s a very fruity style of Languedoc white.

I think it is a very good wine.

 

The bottle design is as same as the second red wine today.

The color of bottle is very dark.

It doesn’t look a white wine, does it?

 

 

 

2nd Domaine de Montredon Cabernet Franc 2016 Sample tasting

Is this a really Cabernet Franc?

I suppose every wine lover never feel the style of the grape variety.

It is a really dark and concentrated red wine.

If I taste this by blind, I would say, “It’s probably Mourvedre.”

The nuance is similar to the Chateau Vannieres rouge I tatsed three days ago.

It is a very good Languedoc wine, too.

It looks a just red wine bottle.
