みなとの街にある
マリンタワーを貸し切って
ワインＶ（ファイブ）の会主催による
マリンタワー・ワールド・ワインパーティー
が7月3日夕刻開かれた。協賛ワインとして
Merlot/Cabernets 2007を出したので
視察がてらお手伝いに行ってきた。

開場前にそばにある中華街を初めて歩く、
港も中学校の修学旅行以来の
全くのおのぼりさんでした。
ハイ展望台にも昇りました。

世界から134種類以上800本以上の
ワインが並んだ。中にはリッジや
有名なシャンパン等高価なワインも
多々あった。一方、お手ごろ価格のワインが
多かった印象もある。
会費が1万円ということもあり、
参加されたお客様のワインに関する意識が高く
私も厳しいご意見を頂きました。また、
他のワイナリーの方と話したり、
私のワインを通販で購入して
くれたお客様とお会いしたり、
なかなか有意義な時間を過ごさせて
頂きました。

9時頃には雨も降り始め
馬車道あたりも濡れていたような。

Marine Tower World Wine Party was held
at Mrine Tower in Yokohama last night.
As I supplied my Merlot/Cabernets 2007 with the party,
I went there to see the party and help
serving wines to the guests. The gathereing
was organized by Wine Five which is an organization
to promote wines in Japan to the consumption level
of five litre per capita from current two litre.

The famous China Town was nearby so I visited
there for the first time. I came around here
for the first time since I had been a junior
high student long time ago. I went up to the
viewing terrace of the tower for the first
time in my life.

At the wine party, there were over 134 kinds
of wines totaling over 800 bottles from all
over the workd including famous Ridge and
Champagnes. Howevere there were also many
reasonably priced wine, too. As the admission
fee was 10,000 yen per person, the most of
the guests were wine lovers and were very
aware of wines and wineries,too. I was
given some very severe comments to my wines.

Meanwhile, Igot to know the people
from domestic wineries and met my real
customer who had recently ordered my
wines through my web shop.

At around 9pm when the party was due to
close, it started drizzling and
the Yokohama streets at Bashamichi
area seemed to get wet.
