With its reputation as the wine hub of Asia, Hong Kong's wine calendar is filled with a vast array of dinners and tastings. However, when this invitation appeared in my in box something about it sounded as though this tasting would be very different. The invitation was as follows:
Coming up with a new tasting theme is always something of a challenge. What will be of interest to our customers? What have people not tasted for a while? What is looking like a good buy? And, last but not least, as we are, after all, a wine trader, what wines that meet the previous criteria do we have available to sell? This was our dilemma a couple of months ago when we started planning a tasting to coincide with the week of Vinexpo in Hong Kong.
On the eve of the opening of the bi-annual wine trade fair "Vinexpo" in Hong Kong, Farr Vintners hosted a spectacular Rauzan Segla dinner in the stunning private dining room of the Grand Hyatt hotel, overlooking the bustling harbour. We served ten vintages starting with the 2010 and finishing with the 1986.
