TOKYO WINE SOCIETY
TASTING
Grenache
and Grenache Blends Arround the World
March 12,
2004
 |
The last tasting was held at the
Restaurant Bon Chere at
Shampia Hotel Akasaka and we tasted wines made from
Grenache and its blend, picked up by Michael san and
Kevin san.
Grenache of Southern France, Australia and Spain were
tasted with one Zin as an odd ball.
We had funny feeling about Zin because that price was
pretty good and we knew what happened to Zin on TWS
February. The result was unfortunately but as we
suspected. Two month in a row, Zin was unexpectedly the
most preferrable wine. Besides that, there was no big
loser or winner. We just appreciated the effort of
gathering so many Grenache in one place.
