Dinner with Marie & Jose Conde

Oct. 30

I had a private dinner with Marie & Jose Conde, who are owner of Stark Conde in South Africa.

 

 

We met at Rigoletto Wine & Bar in Marunouchi.

 

 

 

We met at the first time since I had visited to the winery in South Africa in February 2020 before covid-19.  

 

 

All of the wines were by BYO.

Jose raved about Kobe Reserva Chardonnay very much.

 

 

He said, “ It was very nice Chardonnay. I like the very pure fruits, clean citrus and fine minerals. The style is the Japan Chardonnay. This one is the best Japan Chardonnay I have tasted ever.”

 

I was very happy hearing it!

 

 

Of course, we often sent email each other and sometime had an online-meeting.

However, real meeting is very different.

 

 

We talked a lot. We had three year’s talking tonight.

 

 

 

We had very good wine, very good foods and very nice talking.

 

 

After the dinner, we enjoyed a glass of Champagne at the terrace of the restaurant.

 

 

It was a very, very special night for us.

 

 

Thank you very much!!
