No Wine Day

 

 

Jan. 19

I visited the grave of my parents near Ikebukuro.

 

By the way to home, I dropped at “Winter Hokkaido Fair” held in Tobu Department Store in Ikebukuro.

 

 

 

I visited Furano Wine booth and met Mr. Takahashi, who is the winemaker of the winery.

 

 

 

 

Furano Wine is distributed in only Hokkaido.

 

I was very happy to get several bottles of Furano Wine.

 

Thank you very much, Takahasi-san!

 

 

 

 

 

1st Cueva Orange 2018  2980 yen + tax

Also, By the way to home today, I dropped at Liquor Morisawa in Tama Newtown and bought this orange wine.

Cueva is a popular “Natural Wine” producer in Valencia Spain.

It is made from 60% Tardana and 40% Macabeo macerated for 15 days without sulfur.

I felt strong orange citrus aroma, very good acidity and very natural fruits flavor.

What a delicious orange wine is this!

Especially, daimajo-sama loves such style natural wine very much!

Thank you very much, Mirisawa-san!

 

 

2nd Kusunoki Winery Pinot Noir 2018  3600 yen + tax

Because the first wine was very natural and elegant, I wanted to taste some similar style red wine.

Then I chose this Pinot Noir made in Nagano Japan.

The back label said, “You should open this bottle after autumn in 2021.”

The label was true.

At first, I didn’t feel any aroma.

The taste was very solid.

After the five minute swirling, good red berry aroma and charming fruits were coming up.

It is tasty but I had to wait for opening this one.

But I was sure again that Kusunoki Pinot Noir had a big potential.
