No Wine Day
May 6
It was a day-off.
I pruned the grape vine, Cabernet Sauvignon, at my garden.
I cut ten new treetops.
The vine still has a lot of baby clusters.
I expect a lot of harvest in autumn.
I cooked dinner.
Seafood Carpaccio
Green Salad
Steamed Seafood Paella
Personally, the steamed rice is better than the baked rice even though Paella.
1st Vignoble Canet Picpoul de Pinet 2017 Sample Tasting
Picpoul de Pinet is one of my most favorite white wines recently.
I import La Croix Gratiot Picpoul de Pinet since 2015.
It is an outstanding one but a small production.
Then I have been looking for any other very good Picpoul de Pinet.
But I didn’t get any success.
Finally, I found it! I got it!
The sample today is very fine Picpoul de Pinet.
I like this fine citrus, fresh fruits and very good minerals.
The taste is very cool, just my favorite style.
Delicious! Delicious!
It was very good for the seafood Carpaccio today.
I will buy this!
2nd Domaine de Clamens 2015 Sample Tasting
I received a unique red wine sample from Toulouse.
Toulouse is well-known old city in South-West France but is not popular as wine product area.
Oh! It’s a very tasty red wine, isn’t it?
It is made from Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Syrah and Negrette grown in the estate vineyards.
Negrette is a miner local grape variety, which I never tried before.
Again, it is very tasty.
I felt many charming red berries, mild tannin and very comfortable after taste.
The style is just my favorite one.
Also the price is very reasonable.
I found it!
I will buy this.
