神の雫 #7

by 亜樹直

ワインの魅力（エロス）を教えてやる。ワインは銘柄（ブランド）じゃない。官能で味わうものなんだ――。大手スーパー新規出店のワインのプロデュースを任された神咲雫（かんざき・しずく）。しかし、担当の高杉部長は高級ワインだけを集めろと言う。その依頼に違和感を覚える雫は、５大シャトーを凌駕（りょうが）する格下ワインを見つけることを約束する。しかし、それは砂漠から一粒のダイヤを見つけるような難解な作業でもあった。

Included in extended version of Vol 3
What can challenge the top 5 Bdx (2002 horizontal)?
2002 Haut Brion - Heretic, higher ratio of Merlot & Cab Franc vs top 4, tobacco of Graves, exotic Eastern temple w/ incense, quiet yet florid
1982, 2000, 2002 Mouton - cedar, Shizuku remembers picking grapes for his mom @Mouton vineyard
2002 Latour - monster, Rachmaninov Symphony no2 orchestra
2002 Lafite - Leader, top 🇫🇷, Neuschwanstein castle, decorum & stately
1970 vs 1978, 2002 Marguex - Queen Cleopatra, top 🇯🇵, refined elegance, best 👃

Heaven, Earth & Man = vintage, terror & winemaker

A pretty mediocre installment in the series, but even the mediocre installments are very readable. I did like seeing the backstory of the reliable bartender; it was a fairly standard sentimental story but there was something very neat to me about 2006 looking back on the late 70s/early 80s.

That ending -- Issei goes WHERE? Wild.

This one was not as interesting as the previous volumes I’ve read, that’s the only downside to this. There were a bunch of new characters introduced that I really liked and the usual cast was also there. Just a lot going on.

Didn't read this for several days, so I lost a bit of the plot thread, but still thoroughly enjoyable. Especially as a palate cleanser after Gantz.

Romance, wine challenges, constant drinking, what’s not to like?

[Johnathan · Rating 3 out of 5]

I feel like the two side stories took a little to much away from the main story here. Hopefully they can rectify that with the next book.
