Grace Winery Kayagatake Koshu
Wine♡ Yamanashi, Japan · Koshu
Delicate, pale and quietly citrusy, Koshu is a wine of restraint. It holds its feelings the way Toru does, until they catch you off guard.
The Pour

Dönnhoff Oberhäuser Leistenberg Riesling Kabinett
Aromatic white🇩🇪 Nahe, Germany · Riesling
A thread of sweetness pulled taut by slate and acid. It tastes like looking back on a love you couldn't keep: lovely, and a little sad.
The Mood
Tokyo in the late 1960s: student protests, jazz records, and a young man caught between a fragile first love and a vivid new one. It is Murakami at his most grounded, and the ache stays with you.
