In this episode we provide a Japanese Wine 101 overview. We go over the history of wine in Japan, discuss the major wine regions of Yamanashi Prefecture and Nagano Prefecture, provide an overview of the Koshu white grape and Muscat Bailey A red grape, and we try a 2022 Koshu Toriibira Vineyard, Grace Wines, Yamanashi Prefecture, Japan ($35) and a 2017 Hosaka Muscat Bailey A, Chateau Mars, Yamanashi Prefecture, Japan ($35). Trent also discusses how an Aussie ritual ‘after works drinks’ has died.
