May 29
On a plum tree in my garden, a pheasant pigeon built a nest.
A long time ago, she built a nest in the same tree, but at that time she dropped an egg and the chick did not hatch.
How about this time?
Good luck, Poppo-chan!

Wine of the Day
Turckheim Crement d’Alsace NV 2,500 yen
It is a sparkling wine from Alsace.
Pinot Blanc and Pinot Auxerrois grown by sustainable farming are prepared by the Traditional Method in the bottle.
Pinot Auxerrois is an unfamiliar grape variety, but it is a natural variant of Pinot Noir and seems to have been cultivated in medieval Europe from Alsace to Eastern Europe.
Especially in Alsace, it is often used for cremant blending.
The characteristic of the variety is a refreshing aroma like green apple.
Indeed, the moment I opened it, the aroma spreads like a quick-picked apple.
The mouthfeel is transparent and pure.
The acidity and minerality are also in good harmony.
I think it’s a good wine.
