It has recently come to my attention that a lot of Japanese people are talking about my wine without popping into my google alerts.  It’s probably related to the differences in language.  Even though they usually write the brand in roman characters, there are often kanji suffixes or other weird linguistic quirks (e.g. o’vineyardsは).

Anyway, I did some active searching and found a lot of people talking about the wines.  A few highlights:

A music and wine blog that pairs my Mediterranean Mojo with AC/DC ‘s smash hit LET THERE BE ROCK.  Needless to say, I am very pleased with this pairing.

A little tweeted tasting note. I’m ridiculously fascinated by reviews I cannot read. Google translate’s best effort approximates the review to “good easily”. Love it. Love that people are out there tasting the Mediterranean Mojo 2006.

And then there’s e-American. An online shopping site that offers deals on my Mojo.

But the big player online is Rakuten who are an enormous online retailer. They bought out PriceMinister earlier this year.  And they put together this amazing banner that shows the Japanese are as enchanted as we are with the medieval Cité de Carcassonne.
