Wooohooo. Free wine!

Well, sort of anyway. Yuko and I have noticed that the local Isetan in Matsudo appears to do wine tasting for wine put on sale just for the weekend. They did one two weeks ago, and they were doing one again this Saturday.

Actually, this week was kinda interesting. I’ll be frank here now, but normally, Japanese wine tastes like shit! Aussie wine is pretty good stuff, even the cheaper stuff. French is OK, but you have to pay a bit more for it to start getting the more decent stuff. Same with Italian.
Up till now though, what Japanese wine I have tried is awful, and is only used by myself now when cooking. Actually, it’s pretty good as a cheap source of cooking wine.
But, this weekend, got to try out some stuff from Grace Wine. I’m pretty amazed actually, because somehow they’ve made wine made from the local Japanese grape variety taste good. Turns out that this company is one of the few thats recognised outside of Japan for producing good wine.
