Heitz Wine Cellar, one of the premiere symbol of fine wines will be holding a special evening event on September 22nd at  Union J (part of the Elite Concepts family) where a combination of fine Heitz wines paired with dishes specially created by Chefs Eric Johnson and Jason Casey. The menu looks tantalizing and out-of-this-world. Pop rocks with wine? Really? We wish they would send some over to us!

Heitz Wine Cellar is located in the eastern hills of St. Helena in a beautiful oasis named Spring Valley. The 160-acre ranch was acquired in 1964 by Joe and Alice Heitz to fulfill their family business needs. Heitz is most known for Martha’s Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon, which has been a collector’s favorite for well over 40 years, further proved by it’s selection in Wine Spectator’s Top 12 wines of the 20th Century. They’re also widely known for Chardonnay, Grignolino, Zifandel and Port.

The dinner is HK$548 per person (subject to a 10% service charge). Union J reservations can be made at 2537 2368 or by emailing.
