ludens dec 2006

We had a early Xmas party.

wine tasting dec 2006

We've enjoyed the wine tasting party at the last time of this year.

everybody brought something for the party. I brought some cheeses, Cour de camembert au calvados, Ubriaco Rosso, and Robiola di Roccaverano. Robiola di Roccaverano was so nice. it's covered with the fig leaves. very nice with white wine.

The first of all, we've tasted alfred gratien, paradis. the wine shop treat this. he's said it's aged. I didn't asked how long it's been aged though. still acidity and smell honey. rich champagne.


anjou, chenin blanc, jean christophe garnier. This is so nice chenin blanc. It went nice with Robiola di Roccaverano.



it's thick wine. I'm not familiar with bordeaux. but it went nice with Boeuf bourguignon.




I liked the wine like this. the wine shop owner said this winery makes the cote rotie by a traditional way. adding little viognier. I wonder why people think blend little white wine. Anyway, I liked this.


gevrey chambertin, philippe pacalet. nice pino noir. as for me, this wine was a charming wine.




Domain Ostertag, Gewurztraminer, vendanges tardives. and tiramisu. nice wine. it made me feel rich.

petite sale

I tried to make salted pork one week ago. I've cooked petite sale and lentil for dinner.

partagas

I've bought a partagas and don esteban cigarillo.

domaine guiberteau

I liked this wine, but I also think it could be fun to drink after ages.

soup soup soup!

I've cooked 2 kinds of soup and one meal tonight. the dish with eggs and tomato went well with the rose wine I've opened yestarday.

le rose de janot

I didn't know he made a rose wine. It tastes simple, and really good.

old pot

I've been using this pot over 10 years. there are many cracks on the pot. I want a new pot by now.

today's lunch

a pasta with shiitake mushroom and shishitou which is a jaapnese hot pepper. shishitou doesn't taste hot usually, but there is a few very hot ones sneaking sometimes. then we yell, "I got hit!!".

tonight cigar

I've bought a cigarillo and a mini cigar on my way to go home. griffinos and macanudo ascot. I've tried maduro ascot before. it's different from each other. they are nice for people who wanna smoke, but don't have enough time.

kikuhime

I hardly drink sake though, I like drinking sometime. it's drinkable without chilled.

le puits de james

I've tasted his wine for a long while. This wine is very nice. juicy, not thick, taste smoothly and nice tannic. I've really hesitated to open it at the first, but I'm happy to drink it tonight. perhaps, it can drinkable after a while years, but it's good now as well. I can enjoy it without thinking. it makes me happy obediently. Perhaps, my confition is also good tonight. anyway I wanna say thank to Alquier.

today's pasta

I've cooked a fusilli with olive, potato, haricot, tomato, and Aji no himono. Aji no himono is one of Japanese traditional ingredient. it's a dried fish, horse mackerel. I think people would like it.

Beaujolais Nouveau

We've tasted 9 bottle of nouveau tonight. The wines we've tasted was, from starting the upper left, Jean Marc Laforest, Frederic Cossard, Jean Claude Lapalu, Philippe Pacalet, Karim Vionnet, Yann Rohel, Leroy, Louis Tete, and Chateau de Lengarran.
I liked all, especially, Laforest at this time. There was no bad wine at all. We've enjoyed Beaujolais Nouveau.

hot and sour soup

I cooked a chinese hot and sour soup. I'm not sure I made it rightly though. the taste wasn't bad at all.

to warm yourself in a cold day.

A soup is one of the nicest meals in a cold day.

broken girl

Julie Doiron. It's released in 2003. She is a Canadian singer.

macanude maduro ascot

nice smelling. I don't know it's concern though, It will smells nicer in a wet day.

risoni

I ate a soup with risoni, chopped salted pork and lentil beans.

ipod shuffle

I've got a new iPod shuffle.
