Feature | 28 Daily Wines That Excel in Both Taste and Value (3) Mariee Sasada's 7 Picks from Cave Fujiki
This rosé wine has a gorgeous aroma like peonies and pure fruitiness, with a gentle flavor that makes you feel relaxed. Rosé is a versatile wine that pairs well with both meat and fish. I often pair it with Okinawan dishes like goya and somen chanpuru. It also goes well with spam and tuna, and I find it cleanses the palate from the oil in stir-fries.

While I tend to drink white or rosé at home, I crave a delicious red wine during the colder months. Syrah is a grape variety known for its spicy, peppery notes. This wine, primarily Syrah, has a sophisticated flavor with a hint of pepper amidst its glossy, vibrant aroma. It pairs exceptionally well with spicy meat appetizers like smoked bacon, prosciutto, and gizzards confit.

Today is a day off. On a sunny holiday, I want to drink wine outdoors! Whether by the river or at the beach. This wine is approachable and has an invigorating, lively character. It's a wine you can enjoy without overthinking. It's perfect for creating an adult picnic, perhaps with a sandwich of homemade roast pork marinated in shio koji, served in a baguette.

I've recently become fond of Turkish cuisine and often make simple stews at home. I'm pairing a lemon-infused Mediterranean stew with couscous with a wine from the same region. This is a unique bottle from Georgia, said to be the birthplace of wine. It has a complex aroma reminiscent of fresh herbs, with a subtle tannin despite being a white wine... an exotic wine, in a way.

In a pot, add dashi broth and one teaspoon of baking soda. Then add large chunks of tofu and simmer until it becomes creamy yudofu. Serve with yuzu pepper and a delicious ponzu sauce. The white wine paired today is highly praised for its excellent cost performance. It's rich in the umami of concentrated fruit juice and has a full body, making it perfect for yudofu with oysters or cod.

On the night before a day off, I like to savor wine a little more leisurely. While sipping a botrytized wine, I'll enjoy blue cheese ice cream with a fig and botrytized wine sauce. It's a meltingly blissful marriage. This wine is a classic Monbazillac, with citrus acidity balancing its sweetness. Once opened, it can be stored in the refrigerator for some time, so it's also nice to enjoy a glass each day ♪

On holidays, let's invite friends over and enjoy wine while it's still bright! For such occasions, sparkling wine is the way to go. For brunch today, I've prepared a cheese omelet, luxuriously served with a creamy shrimp sauce. This Chardonnay-dominant sparkling wine has a taste that rivals Blanc de Blancs Champagne, and its deliciousness is undeniable with every sip.
