May. 8
It was a very fine day.
I went to Machida Peony Garden.
The peak of bloom has already passed but there were still a lot of peony flowers.
They were so beautiful.
I also saw a lot of field mustards in full bloom on the hill near the park.
It was a so nice walking.
I cooked one dish for dinner.
Gold Kiwi & Mozzarella
I change the tomato to kiwi.
It was so nice.

Misono Vineyard is a new winery in Yoichi Hokkaido established in 2019.
This one is the second release vintage of the winery.
It is made from 100% Delaware grown in the estate vineyard by organic method.
It is fermented by wild yeast without sulfur non-added sugar with grape skins and seeds.
The second fermentation is made in the bottle.
I felt charming red fruits, good acidity and elegant babbles.
The mouthfeel is very charming.
I is sure that this one is a very fine Orange- Petillant.
