Pre-birthday dinner

She was cooking something yummy for her sister would be two tomorrow, using sweet potatoes which she harvested yesterday.

After sunset,

it got ready to eat. Looks nice, sweetie!

Sparkling wine for adults, thanks to SAZAEMAN's fami.

Drunk a little too much...

Basil from backyard.

 

She loved marshmallow especially.

SYRAH Vielles Vignes

My wife's selection was matched with my preference tonight.

SYRAH Vielles Vignes 2009: 4stars

And matched with home made pizza well also.

Thanks, honey.

Spirit of IDAHO

Thanks KJ, it was soooo nice!!

I can't help feeling the spirit of IDAHO, as fly fishing country.

Must be there again.

Israeli wine

These are present from our common friend. Olive oil and wine both from Israel.

It was my surprise to drink it. Too good to drink!

5 stars!!!

I would like to see check the detail though,

impossible to read the Hebrew character for me...

CHIANTI

4 stars

This is not my choice but my wife's, who can drink after long time interval because of a breast-feeding a baby. She seemed to pick the hottest selling items of the shop. Bitterness and sourness were well balanced, very easy to drink. The reason why I didn't rank it 5stars was probably poor impact I think.

Sometimes white

This white wine was presented from curryman before.

Tasted nice, moderate dry. 4stars.

PORTA (Red wine)

We drunk its white wine which was given by curryman at Halloween party. But it was difficult to rank for me because I had couple of glass of beer before it... So I tasted this red wine today though, it likely was too sour and bitter for me.

PORTA 2009 CABERNET SAUVIGNON; 2star(5star is the highest rank)

Its color matching was 5star, perfect one for Halloween.

PINOT NOIR

I couldn't help buying this wine when curryman's family took us to COSTCO in Japan last weekend. It was not my favorite CABERNET which I gave 5 star in Boise but PINOT NOIR though, I found it was not bad as just for a change.

I would like to review the cheap red wine which I tasted. This is only based on my preference , and not for all people but just for my memory. In addition, I'm not also good wine commentator.

Review for 1st set;
1. dog house: 1.5 star
2. PEPPERWOODGROVE: 4 star
3. BERINGER: 2.5 star

5 star is the best in my rank.

2nd set;
4. MERIDIAN: 3 star
5. BLACKSTONE: 2star
6. MIRASSOU: 5star!

Now, I'm looking forward to 3rd set.

Cheap Red Wine

Recently, I've started to drink Red Wine instead of Beer. One or two glasses per day are fine for me.

The reason why I started was just for my own health, especially to increase beneficial cholesterol.

In this pic, they were all less than $10.

The right one was not so good, but I liked the center one. I'm looking forward to trying the left one next.
