I was right!

Aug. 12

I took the second vaccine injection.

 

 

 

 

No Wine Day

 

 

Aug.13

Fortunately, I didn’t have any side effects of the vaccine except a little arm pain.

I cooked dinner.

 

 

 

 

I got living scallops.

 

 

 

 

I cooked them Sashimi and Carpaccio.

 

 

 

 

 

 

The toppings of carpaccio were kiwi fruits, chervil, cress and lemon skin.

Kiwi and scallop made a very nice combination.

 

 

Green Salad  

 

 

 

 

Pork and Pear Sauté with blackberry sauce.

 

 

 

 

Very good!

 

 

 

 

1st La Croix Gratiot Picpoul de Pinet 2019  1650 yen

Without hesitation, I chose this Languedoc white wine from my refrigerator to make a pairing with the scallop.

The vineyards are located near Mèze where is a famous oyster growing area.

Picpoul de Pinet is well-known as a good wine for oyster.

I think this one is also good for scallop.

Yes, I was right, very right.

They showed a very good marriage.

The fine fruits, citrus and minerals of this wine are very good for the umami and minerals of scallop.

What a great pairing is this!

 

 

2nd al & dile Pinot Nero 2018  1650 yen

I thought the blackberry sauce needed some good Pinot Noir.

Then I chose Alberto’s Pinot Noir made in Veneto. 

I was right, very right, too.

I felt delicious red fruits, charming acidity, elegant tannin and comfortable mouthfeel.

It was very good for pear, too.

A good wine and good dish let me happy.

Very good!
