Kale Wines is a winery influenced by France’s Rhône region, founded by Kale Anderson, who achieved the youngest perfect score at Pahlmeyer.

Our company’s representative, Mr. Yajima, had the opportunity to dine with the Kale Wines team during the Napa Valley Vintners’ Napa Training Tour in April. Impressed by their wines and their character, we decided to hold an event to coincide with their visit to Japan.

 

The cuisine for the event was arranged by Emma Koeda, NVV’s Japan representative and a wine and food specialist.

The pairing concept aimed to extend the delicate flavors and aftertaste of the wine by bridging it with Japanese seasonings and seasonal ingredients.

We hope you enjoy the harmonious pairing of Kale Wines and the carefully arranged dishes.
