I was going to not drink wine today when I got up in the morning. But when I had a dinner, I could not stand for no wine day.
1st
Louis Jadot Bourgogne Chardonnay
2001 1800 yen
Louis Jadot has never made me disappoint. This was a very good balance, very good Chardonnay as good as I expected. Very good !
2nd
Spice Route Malabar 2002
Sample tasting
This was South African red Jose gave me.
What is Malabar ? Is this a new grape variety ? I checked up the meaning on dictionary but I didn't find out it. There are also no information about the name on the back label. Then I checked the web site of the winery and found the blend of the wine was 58% Shiraz, 26% Merlot, 16% Grenache.
Then I knew Malabar was not new grape variety. Any way, It was really nice wine, may be expensive.
I asked Jose the price before. I reminded I did not get a response.
