weekdays wines

I've been in a short vacation now. So, Those wines were what I've drunk till now. A pino noir in Germany and a white wine in Bourgogne. The pino smelt like coffee beans. and the white smelt little honey and lime. The both weren't bad. I liked them. I've bought those in a wine shop where I happened to find and I've got them half price in sale.

boire tue

a unique label. but This wine wasn't that dangerous. It's easy to drink and taste nice. In a way, It could be dangerous, Because, perhaps, people would tend to drink much more than usual. Before open the wine, I drunk a can of Japanese beer, Edelpils. This beer was limited beer, and taste nice. By the way, Tonight pasta was alio olio peperoncini with shirasu(Japanese boiled tiny fish).

fuulin

I've bought some fuulin(Japanese wind bell) in Kawasaki Taishi(a temple located in Kawasaki) today. There are many fuulin gathering all over the Japan. Each fuulin are made with different material and technique. and They have different beautiful tones.

Choix Supreme

I've puffed a cigar tonight, made by El Rey del Mundo. It smelt nice, herbal, little sweet, and rich scent. It's the first time to puff this, and I liked it.

tonight pasta

I've eaten a pasta with a glass of white wine tonight. the pasta sauce was made with salmon, caper, garlic, red pepper, some potato, Naga-negi(kinda a Welsh onion in Japan) and fresh tomato. The wine had acidity even though it's made in Faugeres, Langudoc. This is a nice wine.

handmade ricotta

I've tried to make a easy handmade cheese with milk, fresh cream, lemon, and little salt. It came to be soften when you add milk. It will be get harder with no cream.

Marc Pesnot

We've sipped Marc Pesnot's wines and one unique Italian wine tonight.

The wine on the left was Muscadet(melon de Bourgogne). On the middle, Gros plant and the tree is over 60 years. Usually, It tend to be aigre, this wasn't. On the right was Abouriou which has thin skin and hard to grow them. Personally speaking, I liked gros plant.
Those wine were Melon de Brougogne. They all included some gas. I've heard of that gas protect wine instead of adding SO2. The right one were like Petillant.
This wine was brewed in Amphora(a brown ware). The variety is Carignan. Everybody haven't expected this wine was Carignan. It smelt very flowery, kinda liqueur. It's like a perfume. I don't wanna drink it with some foods. I'd rather sip it after meal. The vignoron is Giotto Bini who is an architect in Italy.

sawaya matsumoto

I've drunked a chilled sake tonight. I like this brewery's sake. This sake is also a nice one as daily. There is a Japanese tsumami(nibbles), "Shutou" on the right picture. It doesn't look nice, but nice taste. It's made from the fresh guts of katsuo(bonite). It's cleaned, salted and mature for one year at least. It has bitterness, salty, and like anchovy. Shutou is a kinda of sake stealer in Japanese, which means sake will empty as you notice. It's like too nice to drink with it. I think some people never used to taste this kinda nibbles, but some people love them. Ofcourse, it goes together with rice or ochazuke style!

Domaine de Montcalmes

I've opened a languedoc wine after a while. This red wine was so nice balanced. It's wild and little more elegant than the other languedoc wines I've sipped. I've tasted some languedoc wines like this. I wanna drink it again later.

volubilis

I've bought a little sweet white wine tonight, produced by Domaine Des Maisons Brulees. this sweetness is like petillant's. I've got the same feeling when I sipped a petillant. It should be chilled.

mint tea

I drink mint tea these days, because there is mint in the front of our apartment. Just add several leaves and pour boiled water on it. It makes me refreshed.

fie gris

I've got the same impression of Sauvignon blanc at the first. It smelt like pine and honey. It has nice acidity, mineral, and little bitterness. and I also got a little feeling something burn like caramel or coffee. Is this grilled oak scent? I don't know. I liked this wine anyway. This wine made by Jacky Preys. I remember I liked his pino-noir. The pasta was tuna sauce with onion, carrot, celery, garlic, pine nuts, green chili, and lemon grass.

demerara rum 1985

I've sipped a nice rum tonight. It's bottled by Samaroli. This rum was wonderful. It smelt complexly of something I can't describe.

this weekend pasta

I cooked a oil based pasta sauce with ground pork, bamboo shoots, and cumin. At the end, I dropped some nicer olive oil.

Edelweiss snow fresh.

It was the first time to drink this nice herbal(more likely flowery) beer, made by Australia. Edelweiss is the national flower of AustraliaAustria.

Domaine de montgilet

It was a light red wine. The variety was grolleau. It's easy to drink. It has soft tannin and smells like plum. The cheese was also soft, creamy cheese. I forgot the name, but I liked it.

pino noir

We've tasted some pino noir tonight.

This isn't pino. It was hot and humid today, so that we drink this nice Petillant. It tasted little sweet and smelt like strawberry.



Those two Alsace pino noir are compeltely different each other. The left one was nice tannin and smelt like coffee beans. the right one was easy to drink.


The left wine was charming. and the right one was more tannin.




Those two wine are brewed by one of my favorite vigneron, Catherine & Dominique Derain. I'm a fun of his wine since I've tasted his unique white wine, Mur Mur.


I liked those two pino noir too. Especially, Domaine Pavelot. I loved his white wines.




This wine was served as a blind tasting at the last. That was funny, Everybody couldn't guess this wine was gamay. The shape of the bottle was tricky too. We've enjoyed tonight wine tasting.
