“Wine Day 2023” held by Kuratei Winery

May 21

I joined in “Wine Day 2023” held by Kuratei Winery, which is the very small winery in Okagami Kawasaki.

 

 

I can get there only 15 minutes on foot.

Because I want to support the my local winery, I often come here in each case.

 

 

I tasted the glass of Pinot Noir.

 

 

You could get the planting stock of Pinot Noir from the estate vineyard.

 

 

I joined in the wine seminar held by Mr. Yamada, who is the owner & winemaker.

 

 

 

It was very nice event.

 

 

 

Then I came back home on foot and cooked dinner, Temaki-Sushi.

 

 

Very good!

 

 

1st Coco Farm & Winery Tajimagawa Ugan 2021  3000 yen

It is made from mainly unique-hybrid grape varieties grown in the estate vineyards.

All of the grapes were fermented by wild yeast.

I felt a lot of fresh fruits, good acidity and fine minerals.

The mouthfeel was very elegant and delicate.

It was very good for Temaki-Sushi today.

 

 

2nd Marquis de Beau Rond Pinot Noir 2021  1170 yen

I was going to choose some Japan red wine at first.

But I couldn’t find a suitable one in my cellar as same as the last time.

Then I tried to choose some red wine similar Japan Wine style.

It is made from 100% Pinot Noir grown in Languedoc.

I felt charming red fruits, good acidity and light tannin.

The mouthfeel was very elegant.

It was very good for Temaki-Sushi today, too.
