				Altair is made by a joint-venture between Chateu Dassault, owned by Dassault France well-known by a producer of Mirage fighting plane, and San Pedro Chile.  I heard two expensive wines were releasing soon, Altair 10,000 yen and Sideral 5,000 yen.  |

						The party was named "Space Cruise Night".  
				The place was very dark. There were many "Celebrities" at the party.  |

| Then after I went home. 1st Hillcrest Chardonnay 2004 Sample Tasting This is the sample from South Africa brought by a winery owner, he is working at his vineyards himself. It was made by 100 % Chardonnay from the estate vineyards in Durbanville. The winery produced only 3000 cases in a year. It was a beautiful Chardonnay, I loved it. I might be going to buy this.... 2nd Le Paradou Cotes du Ruberon 2003 1000 yen It has been getting cool in these day. Then I think the red wine is getting better and better. I think it is good for drinking in cool temperature that the red wine with a great passion like this. This was very delicious. Tasting comment from Paul : Forest fruit aromas, sweet pepper , truffle, leather and forest floor, foursquare and racy in the mouth.  |
