Jun. 20
It was a day-off today.
After a morning run, I weeded my garden until 12:00 p.m.
It was very bad for my health to combine the running and weeding together in the morning.
I almost died.
I’m happy that the rosemary and basil in my garden are growing well.
I cooked a sashimi plate for dinner.
1st Misono Vineyards Niagara 2020 3250 yen
I was so impressed in tasting the sample bottle on 2nd June.
It is made from 100% Niagara grown in the estate vineyard in Yoichi Hokkaido.
The grapes were fermented by wild yeasts without sulfur at first.
Because the second fermentation was done in the bottle without “Degorgement”, there were many sediments in the bottle.
However, the taste is very pure, elegant and natural.
It is a very delicious sparkling wine.
This brand-new sparkling wine has just released as Relax Wine.
Only 552 bottles produced.
2nd Tortoise Creek Syrah Mourvedre 2019 1100 yen
It is a long seller Relax Wine Original.
It is made from Syrah and Mourvedre grown in Languedoc.
I have been importing this one since 1999 when I started Relax Wine.
The style of this was dark and heavy but it has changed to smooth and elegant.
I felt charming fruits, mild tannin and comfortable mouthfeel.
I am sure again it is a very fin Languedoc red wine.
