| Sep 5 ＜The mail from Los Angeles＞ I arrived at L.A. to join the winery tour. |
|
 |
|
| I was invited for the tour by California Wine Institute. I didn't attend such kind of group tour for long time. The total number of the tour is 24 people. It is very easy to move all schedule by some tour bus. We visited at Santa Barbara Winery at first. I tried to taste a lot of wines with damaged mouth by jet lag. |

 |
| Then we went to tasting on the boat! It was a cruising tasting. It was the first time for me that I had tried to taste wine on the sea. Mr. Jim Fiolek, a chairman of Santa Barbara Wine Association, escorted us the tasting. |
|
 |
|
| I tasted a lot of famous wines in Santa Barbara as Au Bon Climat, Jaffers etc. The boat rolled very much. Many people got seasick because they may be very tired by the long trip. |

 |
|
| It was very special experience for me but I was also very very tired. Sorry, but bye now. | |
