The guest today was Mr. Yoshio Amemiya, who is the onwer & wioemaker of Diamond Winery, a family small winery in Yamanashi.
He is the third genaration of the family, studied wine making and grape growing in Bordeaux and Burgundy.
Now, his wine is very popular and difficult to find.

The event is held at Fermintxo in Nishi-Azabu, a fine Spanish restaurant.
Yoshio had requested us to hold the event at Spanish restaurant with not many attendants.

Then we chose a small restaurant and invited only 18 attendants.

When Yoshio started talking about his wine, nobody can stop his talking.
The machine gun talk has started.
