Bordeaux and Rhone highlights at first auction of year on 7th January.
2012 is going to get to a bright start for wine collectors in Hong Kong with Zachys first auction of the year on the 7th January selling off some highly collectable Bordeaux and Rhone wines among others.
Jordi Chan looks at the beauty of glassware for your wine adventure.
Since more and more people start their adventures in wine, wine equipment becomes more essential in everyone’s apartment.
For candlelight dinners, wine tasting events, birthday parties, or even a causal gathering of friends; a decent and appropriate glass can definitely make that night more unforgettable. Can you imagine a beautiful girl drinking champagne with a huge red wine glass or a stylish man having red wine in a champagne flute? That’s really horrible.
A wide selection of new French wines showcased in Mong Kok.
Sopexa Hong Kong put on their annual French Wines Trade Show 2011 earlier this month at The Langham Place hotel that put a spotlight on some new boutique wineries from France looking to break into the Hong Kong and China markets.
Winebuzz.hk was there with our video cameras and we talked to some of the winemakers and export managers from Clos Monicord, Alliance Alsace and Champagne Charpentier to learn more about what their wines are all about and what they think of the local market.
Jordi Chan tells us about his favorite white wines to pair with oysters.
During the summer, enjoying a glass of white wine with fresh oysters on the beach with a cool sea breeze coming in off the ocean is a dream only some Hong Kongers will get to enjoy as they sit moping in their air-conditioned offices!
Chablis is on most wine connoisseurs minds when talking about pairing with oysters, but it’s not unusual to choose a crisp Chardonnay in every oyster gathering. However, Jordi recommends Muscadet from the Loire Valley and Entre-deux-Mers from Bordeaux which are two great alternative offerings that will give you a new experience in your oyster and wine pairing adventure.
Applied Wines aims to open up restaurants wine lists in HK.
We turned our HOFEX 2011 booth into a Winebuzz TV studio and invited the movers and shakers in the Hong Kong wine scene to talk about how they see the current status of wine culture in Hong Kong and what the future looks like.
Christian Pillsbury is the Managing Director of Applied Wine – a very interesting company in Hong Kong, basically they help arm restaurants with the best wines from around the world – not just from France – like an outsourced sommelier. A great concept for the exploding wine scene with too much choice by restaurants and bars. Christian talks about how his company works and how he wants to expand Hong Kong wine lists past Bordeaux.
