Oct. 28
Another typhoon attacked Tokyo today again.
Oh! No!
Even though the very bad condition, we held “Ecole d’Ashikaga” wne tasting party at Toranomon Store.
“Ecole d’Ashikaga” is a unique wine making school for wine lovers, operated by ”Cfa Backyard Winery” in Ashikaga.
All of the students are not wine professional but love wine a lot.
They produce wine and sell them themselves led by Mr. Masuko, the owner & winekaer of ”Cfa Backyard Winery”.
The student showed the new vintage 2016 for our customers.
I was concerned that no guests come here because of the typhoon terrible weather.
However, surprisingly, we received many guests.
I also tasted their wines.
They are not perfect but have very unique characters.
I think it is a very good challenge.
Accidently, we received Mr. Masuko with no appointment afternoon.
Everybody are surprised very much.
It was a very interesting event today.
Very good job!
Thank you very much!
In the evening, I received Mr. Philippe Carrant and Mr. Mike Rogers in Overland Wine Trade in France.
They are my wine import agents since a long time ago.
They arrived at Haneda Airport 14:00 today even though a very bad weather.
I knew a lot of flights were canceled today.
How lucky guys they are!
After the business meeting, we went to Furutoshi Ginza and had a very fine dinner.
We tasted fine Japan wines and delicious cuisines in the typhoon.
We cut the dinner short to avoid traffic problems caused by typhoon.
Then, No DOBON tonight…
