March 14th, White Day, is just around the corner! Some men might not have decided on a return gift yet, but please be aware that some return gifts have specific meanings.

Marshmallows: "I dislike you."
Macarons: "You are special."
Cookies: "Let's stay friends."
Caramels: "I feel at ease with you."
Madeleines: "I want to get closer to you," and so on.
Men who want to make White Day special might consider giving candy, macarons, caramels, or Madeleines. And for women who love wine, perhaps a surprise gift of wine that pairs well with the classic gift would be good 💛 March 13th is International Riesling Day, so how about a Riesling white wine? Everyone who likes white wine loves it, and it's also a white grape wine that red wine lovers enjoy. I believe Riesling's characteristic is that it appeals to a wide range of people and rarely disappoints. There are truly many delicious Rieslings.
Mare Noroc also has some truly delicious Riesling white wines!
Let us introduce them along with what they pair with, such as candy, macarons, caramels, and Madeleines.
■ Monastirli Rollbaugh Cru 2019 ¥5,800
Cultivated in the terroirs of Romanovca, where historically, Riesling vines were planted with an unprecedented wide spacing. This masterpiece is made from perfectly ripe Riesling grapes harvested at the end of November, grown under ample sunshine!!!
The elegant and exquisitely luxurious "Monastirli Rollbaugh Cru 2019" is characterized by its strong body and very refined richness. Therefore, pairing it with delicately flavored macarons or cakes containing rum or brandy would be a luxurious experience, and the delight of that pairing will surely make it a special day! (Cakes reportedly have no special meaning.)
■ Portlet Chardonnay Riesling 2020 ¥2,400
Aromatic, with fresh citrus fruits like mandarin oranges and limes upfront, and a delicate floral scent like almond blossoms. This is a very fresh and easy-to-drink wine. Blending with Chardonnay adds roundness to the flavor and good balance, making it truly a white wine that will appeal to everyone. Blends of Chardonnay and Riesling are not often seen, so it might feel rare and special. Being a medium-bodied and well-balanced wine, it's versatile and can be paired with anything from candy, macarons, caramels, to Madeleines. If you're unsure what to buy, I recommend this one.
■ Riesling 2020 ¥2,400
A dry white wine with mellower acidity than those from traditional regions like Germany or Alsace, and a fruity, fresh, and refreshing taste reminiscent of flowers, apples, and pears. It seems to pair well with sweet candies, cakes, and even simple Madeleines.
