No Wine Day
Nov. 9
It was very cold this morning.
Just when I think summer is finally over, it feels like winter has arrived, skipping autumn.
Today’s Dish
Hirame Carpaccio
Broccoli, Cherry Tomatoes, Eggs, and Prosciutto Salad
Tarracos Spaghetti
Yakitori
Carpaccio is made by a natural flounder from Aomori.
It was very tasty.
1st Oriol Rossell Xino-Xano Blanco 2022 1,350 yen
It is made from of 85% Xarel-lo and 15% Muscat, organically grown in the estate vineyard in Penedes, Spain.
I felt a clean fruits flavor, citrus acid, and thick minerality.
It is a good wine.
2nd Takeda Winery Rouge 2023 1,980 yen
It is the flagship of the winery made from 100% Muscat Bailey-A grown in Yamagata Prefecture.
I felt a rich fruits flavor, sharp acidity, and mellow tannin.
There is no squeaky metallicness that is common in hybrid grape varieties.
It is a good sample that Muscat Bailey-A should be this style.
It’s delicious.
