| Feb 10 I had to cook a dinner for my family quickly after I came home from Niigata. Sashimi, Saffron rice and "Madai" Acqua Pazza. Delicious!  |

| 1st  Gian Piero Marrone Langhe Chardonnay 2003 I was gifted this Chardonnay by Mr.Gian Piero Marrone, the owner of this winery, on Feb 1. Well, it is full-bodied white wine. I felt a lot of fruits. I thought the wine was produced very carefully. It was a really nice Langhe Chardonnay. 2nd Gian Piero Marrone Barbera d'Alba 2003 This red was also brought by the owner of the winery for me. I found myself that I often drink Barbera recently. I am getting prefer the acid of Barbera in these days. This was a also very good Barbera. Rich, big structure, good balance and elegant. I like this style very much.  |
