I participated in a wine tasting for the famous gourmet magazine "dancyu" featured " Japanese wine".
The tasters : Ms.Sando, wine writer, Mr.Katsuyama, owner of wine bar "Shonzui", I and Mr.Yoshida, manager of Hotel La Nage.
Amazing, we tried to taste many Japanese wines.
You know, I am good for drinking a wine but I am really bad for tasting a wine. But I had to taste wines seriously and carefully because we had to value the wine properly for a such kind of event. It was a big job for me as like having a stomachache. It was really hard for me.
It seemed the other members are also hard to taste the wines. Mr.Katsuyama looked be very tired.
It took about 6 hours to taste all wines and write comments for the all bottles. I was really tired indeed today.

Then I went home. I didn't want to drink a wine. But I tried...
1st
Villiera Chenin Blanc 2003 1000yen
Very nice South African white wine. I knew this was very nice wine, but I did not want to drink this. Good wine, but I didn't drink.... Any way I drank up...

2nd
Suntory Hakushu Pure Malt
I bought this at the Suntory distillery last month. Actually, I sometime drank this a bit. It was very good. I was not able to drink a red wine tonight.
