Ernie Singer 'Cuvee Denis Dubourdieu' Domaine Shizen and Japan 'Koshu' Wines

July 11, 2013 by serge the concierge

Having only browsed quickly through 'Tour du monde epicurien des vins insolites' (Arthaud, 2010, French only) by Ricardo Uztarroz and Claude Gilois, I took advantage of the 4th of July week-end to read more of it.
