Fukuoka Bordeaux Wine Festival & artist Vincent Lefrançois / 福岡ボルドーワイン祭り

Today my guest is Vincent Lefrançois, a French-born illustrator living in Fukuoka. Check out his wonderful art here: http://www.atelierdecale.net/index.html

We’re off for some outdoor wine-tasting in Tenjin, Fukuoka! Did you know that the famous wine-producing region Bordeaux, France is one of Fukuoka’s sister cities? Beginning yesterday, May 30, and until June 12, a wine festival featuring 100 kinds of Bordeaux wines, including red, white, rosé, and sparkling crémant, will be available by the glass. Wine by the glass is available from ¥500 (cash-on basis), and popular restaurants in Fukuoka will be selling food to enjoy the marriage of wine and food.
