Shampagne and Sparkling
Friday, November 22, 2002
|
The last tasting of The Tokyo Wine Society was held on the 22th of November at the Shanpia Hotel in Akasaka, wine selected by committee. We did Crystal and Don Perignon in previous tastings, so we go for Belle Epocque this time. We also tried vintage port this time, and went so well with canape foie Gras. | |
