Enjoying the sights, sounds and smells of first-time parenthood. Progress on the vegetable garden and other ramblings of a gaijin in Japan’s least populous prefecture.

On Wine

Filed under: travel — adekun @ 7:20 am

As a postponed birthday cum welcoming gift, my parents bought me a 2004 Fitou Seigneurie d’Arse. What a lovely sentiment. I’m no Master of Wine, but this burly brew made a fine wine to wash away the drabness of the bleak afternoon.

Today I opened a more quaffable Morgon, which has done little to break the clouds. Cheese always gets mentioned as the ideal accessory. Yet I lack the audacity to immerse myself in the national cheeses. A couple of slabs of Cheddar wouldn’t go amiss.

  1. It’s no wonder that your blogging has become so seldom. You’ve got d’Arse.

  2. I certainly have with the weather we have been having. At least it’s been raining over the patch in Japan – you’ve had a drop too at last.
