Wine on a Badget/ ワインの予算

I get excited when I find some wines I wish to drink, at that time, I meet a small problem ... BUDGET!
There are too many to buy, anyway I can't drink nor cellar so many wines.
So here is my budget on wine.

• $100 per month, about 3 to 5 bottles
• up to $50 per bottle

That's it ...
I think it is maximum to drink for me.
Having held Wine Tasting Session, I could open more wines though!



日々、飲みたいワインを見つけるたびにワクワクするのですが

あれもこれもと購入できないのが悩ましい！

きりが無いですからね～

そんなに飲めるわけでもないし、ワインセラーも持ってないので

というわけで、予算を設けて”やりすぎない”ようにしてます


わたしのワインにかける予算は・・・

• 1ヶ月あたり約$100、3~5本程度
• １本あたり$50を超えるワインは買わない

といったところです

個人で飲むには（量的にも）これくらいが限度かなあと思っています


ワインテイスティング会を開催できれば

もっと色々なワインを味わうことができるので

企画もがんばろ～♪

Pacific Wine Cellars
白では最高ヴィンテージの1つで、乾燥して穏やかな気候が繊細に品種の特徴を果実に現した。樹齢80-90年。早めに収穫した果実をステンレス槽で発酵。5年間の瓶熟成が複雑さと深い味わいを増す。金緑色の淵にレモングラス、レモンの花と蜂の巣の香り。しっかりしたシトラス系ニュアンス、酸味とミネラル感が長期セラーリングを可能とする。

A multiple award winner, this gorgeous Barossa Semillon is showing complex aromas of nuts, lanolin, beeswax and honeyed overtones. The palate is fresh with wonderful breadth and lemony/honeyed aged characters. Serving it up to those in the Hunter Valley quite nicely!

Warburn continue to produce some amazing wines at some brilliant prices, including this Shiraz which shows dark berry fruit and spice with earthy notes on the nose. The palate has flavours of blackberry and plum with savoury tannins. A great value Barossa red.

The palate displays ripe blackberries and spice followed by savoury overtones, all supported by a deft touch of oak from 12 months maturation. Soft tannins round off a precise and well-made Shiraz.
