Anthony Petit, a France native now living in Hong Kong, has a mind-blazing world of French wines to show you.
He is presently devoting his time to the development of the Wine Education Center and is a part-time wine instructor at Hong Kong University Space.
The course is focused on casual learning – you won’t find an angry Frenchman throwing fits but a refined gentleman teaching you the arts and crafts that you seek. The course focuses on learning the fundamentals of french wine in a french way. There will be formal wine tastings with French descriptions and 3 wines will be served.
The meeting time will be on September 22nd from 7pm-10pm (3 hour workshop) at the Admiralty Learning Centre. The language will be English and the Fee is HK$450. If you’d like an application (or have any other questions), then click here.

Berry Bros & Rudd is organizing a complementary Bordeaux tasting at their shop in Lee Gardens, Causeway Bay on May 15, 2009. The only catch is, it starts at 3.30pm, so unless you’re in the business or the boss, nipping off early for a wine tasting at 3.30pm may be a little tricky. Nevertheless we hoped that we’ve given you ample time to plan ahead!
