昨日は札幌でソムリエ協会の北海道支部の例会でした。

テーマは「ピノ・ノアールのティスティング」です。

世界的にはピノ・ノアールの作付けはとても少ないそうです。

栽培が難しいんですね、涼しいところを好みますが寒すぎてもいけない。
また、粒の成熟と香りが乗ってくる次期のタイミングが難しいらしい・・。

オーストラリアの南側の海岸のもの
ニュージーランド南島のもの
カリフォルニアのもの
オレゴンのもの
そして、ブルゴーニュ、ヴォーヌ・ロマネのもの

どれもすばらしい。

清澄ぐあいやクラシックな仕上げ方など個性があるが、予想していたほどではなく
その違いは微差だった。

しかしながら、丁寧に作られたそれらのものはすべて高貴な香りと澄んだルビー色で私たちを魅了する。

ああ、奥が深い・・。

The weather has been bad and cold, but cherry blossoms and other spring ephemeral are blooming as if they have known the time to open.

People in Hokkaido have a special feeling for this time of year as the winter here is long and hard buried in the deep snow.

Some cherry blossoms are in full bloom but others are not. We can enjoy the blossoms during May, so I really would like as many tourists as possible to come to Otaru and enjoy this wonderful season.

They are not in full bloom yet, even so, they are absolutely beautiful.

Golden Week of this year is nearly coming to the end.

Unfortunately, it has been cold, windy and rainy for the past few days, but the strong wind brought the Koinobori or carp streamers alive as they should be.

This is the annual sight of this river.

今日はこどもの日。こいのぼりは元気に泳いでいるかな？

In Japan, the week between the end of April and the beginning of May is called Golden Week, as some national holidays are concentrated in this period.

29th April, 3rd, 4th, 5th are national holidays. This year, some people can take 10 days off by taking two extra holidays on 2nd, Monday, and 6th, Friday, and putting them together with the two weekends.

In Otaru, cherry blossoms begin to bloom around this time, so Golden Week is a good outing season if the weather permits.

We have many attractions to offer here in Otaru.

Otaru Milk Plant is known as one of the many ice cream shops in Otaru.
It opens seasonally between the end of April and early November every year.

The shop building was originally built in 1930s as the milk plant of the company producing ice cream sold here.

This lovely building is face-lifted before the new season starts every year, and attracts many customers who buy their varieties of ice cream during the season.
