Jul. 20
I joined in some Japan Wine tasting party held at Rigoletto Kitchen Ginza.
I was surprised at seeing the wine list.
There were many super-rare wines.
Rita Farm & Winery Cuvee Rita 2020
Kondo Vineyard T-Blanc 2020
Obuse Winery Domaine Sagga Albarino 2020
Hamada Vineyard Chardonnay 2020
Mie Ikeno Pinot Noir 2020
Viniqrobe Pinot Noir 2018
I tasted all of the bottles at the first time except Hamada Vineyard Chardonnay which I brought.
Every wine was super-fine!
Especially, Viniqrobe Pinot Noir was outstanding.
I saw the deep color and felt concentrated fruits, elegant acidity, silky tannin and nice mouthfeel.
This one has a super elegance.
Viniqrobe is very young winery located in Takayama Nagano.
I visited to the winery last September and met Mr. Kurata, who is the owner, the grape grower and the winemaker.
Finally, I could taste his Pinot Noir.
It was an outstanding Pinot Noir in Japan, I think.
I am looking forward to tasting his next wine.
All of the dishes were very nice, too.
We had a birthday guy in the member today.
This one was a surprise cake!
It was a very nice party today.
Thank you very much!!
