YOSHIKI REVEALS NEW WINE COLLECTION “Y BY YOSHIKI CALIFORNIA”
A tasting presentation celebrating the release of “Y by Yoshiki Chardonnay ‘Encore’ California 2017” and “Y by Yoshiki Cabernet Sauvignon California 2017” was held on August 9, 2019, at the Grand Hyatt Tokyo.
The new wines come from the “Y by Yoshiki” wine brand created by YOSHIKI in collaboration with Robert Mondavi Jr., a 4th generation Napa Valley winemaker. Since 2009, they have released 4 vintages, and all of them sold out immediately after release, causing the media to call them “phantom wines”. “Y by Yoshiki California” is smart, casual wine created with the concept of “having more people enjoy wine casually”.
“Though I was confident with my 10 years of winemaking experience, I impressed myself by creating such a smooth wine at this price range,” YOSHIKI said. “Still, I didn’t expect it to be sold out so quickly.” About his next wine, YOSHIKI says “It will be even better.”
