Apr 12 Ms. Anne Brois, export manager of J&F Lurton, came to Japan from Bordeaux. We held a staff wine party with her at " L'arcobaleno", Italian restaurant in Akasaka.
I was very impressed again her passion and energy for wine as usual. Our staff, drank wine with her first time, looked to be also really moved by her professional knowledge and behavior.

	We enjoyed very nice dishes at the restaurant.

	The wine list of the restaurant has a lot of wines not only Italian but also world wines, are excellent and reasonable. Mr.Miyazaki,chef of the kitchen, cooked very good Itarian dishes and Mr. Nakamura,manager of the restaurant, served us wine perfectly. They were really professional.
Wine We drank Argentina, Chile and Spain wine made by J&F Lurton. Bodega Lurton Tierra del Fuego white 2004 Bodega Lurton Torrontes 2004 Araucano Chardannay 2004 Gran Araucano Sauvignon 2003 Araucano Carmenere 2003 Gran Araucano Cabernet Sauvignon 2001 Bodega Lurton CHACAYES 2002 El Albar Excelencia 2000
	Every wine is excellent. Especially I was impressed Gran Araucano Sauvignon 2003 and Bodega Lurton CHACAYES 2002.
I was sure CHACAYES, the top cuvee first vintage of the winery, was the No.1 Argentina wine I had ever drunk, far really elegant and deep. It was a kind of sensual taste.
Sexy wine ! We spoke English, Japanese and fake French. The party was heated up !

By the way, Ms.Matsumoto, who was member of our staff. quitted Cave de Re-Lax last month. It was also her farewell party. Thanks a lot Matsumoto-san for long time to help us.

	It was really good time. Thank you very much for Anne.
