The 81th Testing

Bordeaux Red

Highlights of last month's tasting

The last tasting of The Tokyo Wine Society was held on the 14th of September at the Shanpia Hotel in Akasaka.

The selection for the September tasting is by Tanaka sensei and the theme is Bordeaux Red.  He picked up a bottle from each major village, hoping to bring up the distinction of Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot.
