Drink Wine and Enjoy Cherry Blossoms!
Ahh... springtime! That lovely month between freezing cold and windy and the fetid, sweaty heat of Nagoya's "summer" months!
This brief period is for blooming flowers, chirping birds, and wine. What pairs better with the fragrant blossoms of cherry trees than a glass of vibrant rosé? (Well, and almost any other alcohol—Spiritus, anybody?)
But I digress
If you're nodding along in agreement or even just mildly curious, prepare for some springtime indulgence: the Sakura Wine Festival 2024!
While France may be renowned for its reds, they're embracing the pink revolution, with rosé ranking as the second most popular wine in the land of baguettes and berets. With over 70 varieties from around 11 countries, this event promises a world journey from classic rosé to trendy "orange wine."
But it's not just about the wine—complement your tasting experience with perfectly paired snacks.
