As the World Cup games starting, we venture into the competition of red wines from different corners of the world. We set the focus on bottles of Bordeaux or Cabernet Sauvignon type wine in the price range of 4000-6000 yen, with the vintage of 2000-2003. We had 9 volunteers, who does not necessarily bring wine of his own country, brought bottles for following regions:

1/2. Two wines from Bordeaux Gordon san and Yuko san
3/4. Italy Mike san and Akiko san
5/6. Two wines from Napa/Sonoma Monty san and Yasuhiko
7. Chile Richard san
8. Argentina Shoichi san
9. Australian. David san
