I went to " Vino Mercato ", one of the top wine shop in Tama , is the area
of west Tokyo, at Choufu PARCO department store with Hans , owner of
Neil Ellis Wines.
Vino Mercato is a excellent wine shop has a lot of variety of wines and has also
many South Africa wines.
Then we went to " Shiroyama-tei ", Japanese traditional style BBQ restaurant
at Jindaiji near by Choufu.
The restaurant has a " ONSEN" hot spring.
We enjoyed a ONSEN and really good foods & wine.
A new arrival German sparkling wine.
Hans is German. So I brought this Sekt.
2nd Chateau d'Armailhac 2000 3654 yen bought old sale
Grand Vin, Grand Vintage Bordeaux.
It was very good, of course.
3rd Neil Ellis Cabernet Sauvignon Vineyard Selection 2000 3444 yen
Neil Ellis Cabernet Sauvignon Vineyard Selection is the top range wine of the winery.
It was real outstanding wine !
I would like to say that it should be Mouton ( ! ) comparing with d'Armailhac.
Oh ! Hans drunk only this bottle after I opened this.
He got angry when I tried to serve d'Armailhac to his vacant glass.
I also wanted to drink Vineyard Selection more.... but I couldn't...
