Two examples came to light recently when Misha’s Vineyard from New Zealand and Merry Edwards from California presented their pinots in Hong Kong. Read more →

Gold Coin Turns the Grape to be Real Gold.
New Zealand wines have become more popular here in Hong Kong nowadays and they never disappoint me. I have tasted the wines from Misha’s Vineyard last week and had the chance to meet Misha in person.

Winery marketing strategies – competitions or not?
Last November I was fortunate enough to be invited to release tasting of the Misha’s Vineyard 2009 range of wines at the Grove Restaurant in Auckland. I have always been a fan of showcasing wines with food and this experience highlighted why. Not only did the wines taste beautifully but the food was also absolutely delicious which resulted in an extremely positive experience for the ‘reviewer’. Moreover, these occasions are certainly one of the ‘perks of the job’ and thus many of the leading food and wine journalists were present.
