The Four Seasons in Firenze has a lot to live up to particularly so in Italy’s Renaissance and cultural city. Located at a mere 10 minutes walk to the Duomo, the Four Seasons is build from the 15th-century Palazzo della Gherardesca and the Conventino which took seven years to restore at the cost of over USD 100 million. The décor was overseen by French architect and designer Pierre-Yves Rochon who made sure the building reflected over 5 centuries of history and is outfitted with Four Seasons luxuries.

A round-up of tips for ordering wine when you are at a restaurant.
Education is key to all new wine drinkers and lovers, and here at Winebuzz.hk we want to be able to help guide you in the right direction. Here is a round-up of links to recent wine notes for you:
Ask the restaurant wine expert questions: Wine-focused restaurants educate their staff about the wines on the list. They often sample the wines so they can understand how to sell them. Ask your waitperson if they have any suggestions; this can sometimes help with your choice. Always keep in mind that everyone has different likes and dislikes, so you can point them in the right direction by stating, “What do you suggest for a big, bold red wine?” as opposed to “What is your favorite red”?
Most of the time, wine periodicals focus on the flavors and aromas but neglect texture, which is crucial in evaluating wine. That astringent texture comes from the Tannins. This substance is found in the stems, bloom of the skin, and pips of the grapes. A wine cannot age well without the presence of Tannins, though they can also impart a somewhat rough and dry taste when the wine is young.
Here is a quick way to try new wines without the effort. Adelaide Cellar Door is an online wine company selling wines from boutique wineries based in South Austalia. They have an online Wine Club where participants receive one case of mixed wine delivered to your door bi-monthly.
That will provide you with 1.3 bottles a wine a week at a direct cost, between HK$103-$138 per bottle. Wine Club participants can also receive one case per month if they prefer. The wine list includes whites and reds and you can request only reds or whites in your case.
