From the 90's themed new arrivals this week, we have the three 1999 'Les Amoureuses' from Domaine Comte Georges de Vogüé, Joseph Drouhin and Moine-Hudelot. The name of this premier cru in the village of Chambolle-Musigny means “the lovers”. While there are different takes on the derivation of the name, I like this one written by Camille Rodier, author of Le Vin de Bourgogne and Le Clos de Vougeot who stated: “In Burgundy, a wine containing the word amour must be a great aromatic wine; full of fire and sap.” For me, it’s exactly those intense aromas, floral notes and elegant fruit flavours that are entrancing in a glass of 1999 de Vogue’s ‘Les Amoureuses’. Although I wouldn’t describe the style of as fiery like Rodier, this wine deliver the more graceful and pretty expression of the vineyard. Don’t miss the chance to secure the Joseph Drouhin’s 'Les Amoureuses' too, we received just one bottle this week, and it will be gone in a flash. So act fast! And to me, Daniel Moine-Hudelot is the best value producer for this top 1er Cru Chambolle-Musigny vineyard. If you want to experience a very fine expression of ‘Les Amoureuses’, but you don’t want to spend a fortune to do it, this producer is the one to buy. The 1999 was a expectational vintage for red wines in Burgundy, it was a year combining a good crop, good fruit and high quality. The late legendary winemaker Henri Jayer compared it to 1934. It was a blessed growing season without major hail or frost damage, a mild concern of drought during late summer but overall the harvest was successful with grapes offering deep colours and resulting to rich, ripe black fruit of a unique purity, all well-balanced wines. It is one of my all-time favourites vintage and surely a vintage to seek out.

And I am happy to see we a ‘vintage pair’ of Gaja ‘Sori San Lorenzo’ 1990 & 1995 on the list this week. It’s not often that we see these fine ‘90s Nebbiolos on the market nowadays. Sori San Lorenzo was the first cru or single-vineyard bottling of Barbaresco Gaja made. It was vinified in 1967 and first released in 1970 along with Sori Tilden. The vineyard, Sori San Lorenzo, was the favourite of Angelo’s father, Giovanni, as he believed it offered the best expression of Barbaresco. I have tried the 1990 and it was an outstanding wine filled with aromas of dried tea leaves, forest floor, red and dark dried and fresh cherries. Nebbiolo, like Pinot Noir, is an entrancing ageworthy grape that takes on some of the similar earthy aromas like dried crushed autumn leaves, mushrooms and truffle that I enjoy in old Burgundy. The wines from the Sori San Lorenzo vineyard are tannic and concentrated, so they require a longer period of ageing than the other crus to be ready to enjoy. The ‘70s, ‘80s and ‘90s of these wines are the old style of Gaja. In 1996, Angelo started blending in approximately 5% of Barbera with the Nebbiolo and changed their classification from Barbaresco DOCG to Langhe Nebbiolo DOC. He wanted to give the wines a rounder feel. I tend to prefer wines with acidity and a tart, fruit character, so I enjoy the bright acidity, truffle and earthy aromas from the Gajas of the ‘60s, ‘70s, ‘80s, and early ‘90s as opposed to the more rounded and riper feel I find in the wines now. Since 2013, Sori San Lorenzo and the other two single vineyards no longer contain the 5% of Barbera and returned to the Barberesco DOCG classification. These are tremendous wines from Piemonte regardless of which style you prefer.

The 1996 vintage was outstanding for Cabernet Sauvignon. The spring was mild with flowering in mid-June. Then, July was cool but warmer weather came. The temperatures in August were moderate allowing for a balance between ripening and acidity in the wines. While most picked in the rain rather late, in early October, the grapes were healthy and made it to full ripeness.

1996 Château Léoville-Las Cases is clearly one of the Château’s best vintage in the ‘90s, as it’s one of those wines where everything came together in perfect balance. The wine is a blend of 70% Cabernet Sauvignon, 14% Merlot and 16% Cabernet Franc. This 1996 was picked in late-September yielding fruit that is ripe and pure. The wine displays the essence of Leoville-Las-Cases's personality – you can taste the ripeness on the nose and palate, with finesse and tension towards the silky finish.

The 1996 Château Lafite-Rothschild is a blend of 83% Cabernet Sauvignon, 9% Merlot and 8% Cabernet Franc. It’s a powerful Lafite with many years ahead. However, the aromas are also classic Lafite with notes of lead pencil, cassis and dark cherry fruit aromas, to***co, mint and dried herbs. The wine displays purity and precision with a long finish; it feels like this wine will deliver even more in the years to come.

Don't forget about the Right Bank, where we have 1996 Le Pin to offer you. While the 1996 vintage might not shine as brightly as the acclaimed 1998 or 2000, it is still a delicious wine to enjoy with exotic notes of chocolate, roasted coffee, and jammy dark fruits with superb ripeness, purity, and overall balance. Additionally, it comes at a relatively friendly price point compared to the 1998 and 2000 vintages.

For me, the 2014 vintage stands out as a personal favourite, and it’s one that has impressed many Burgundy enthusiasts. As Allen Meadows ans Doug Barzelay note in Burgundy Vintages, ‘the 2014 growing season can be succinctly described: great start, lousy middle, great finish…The resulting reds from Côte de Nuits are fresh and fruit driven but with good terroir typicity. They are at best medium-bodied but not dilute, with solid tannic spines and moderate acidities and should provide excellent medium-term drinking.”

Here are a few selections, I would like to share my notes.

Domaine Méo-Camuzet - Clos Vougeot Grand Cru 2014
For lovers of robust Burgundy, this Clos Vougeot Grand Cru is a must-have. With its deep, concentrated fruit, beautifully integrated oak, and layers of complexity, this wine reflects the mastery of Domaine Méo-Camuzet. Rich and velvety on the palate, it offers a perfect blend of power and elegance, with a finish that lingers endlessly. It's drinking beautifully now, but will continue to evolve over the next decade.

The occasion I drank Domaine Claude Dugat - Charmes-Chambertin Grand Cru 2014 was at a wine tasting. Its softness and freshness caught my attention. It was a beautifully structured wine with remarkable red fruit intensity. On the nose it presented an aromatic bouquet of red berries, such as red cherries and raspberries, intertwined with floral notes of violets and subtle hints of clove. On the palate, the wine was rich and full-bodied with silky, refined tannins. The red fruit flavors are vibrant and concentrated, accompanied by layers of dark plums and blackberries. The acidity is well-balanced, providing freshness and lift, while the finish was long, with lingering notes of spice, earth, and a delicate hint of vanilla from the oak aging.

A special cuvée “Christiane” from Domaine de Montille in honor of Etienne de Montille’s mother, made from the vines just below La Tâche, and known for their balance, intensity and finesse. Domaine de Montille - Vosne-Romanée 1er Cru 'Aux Malconsorts' Cuvée 'Christiane' 2014 presents dark fruits, violet, and savory spice, with an elegant structure that will only grow in beauty over time.

Last Wednesday, I was in London to speak at a charity dinner supporting motor neuron disease research, with wines generously donated by my friend JdP. We organized the tasting around “mini-themes,” a favorite approach for exploring wine nuances.

We started with a magnum of 2002 Bollinger RD, beautifully mellow now, with a Pinot-led palate and mature mushroom notes. Then, a flight of Domaine René et Vincent Dauvissat Chablis Grand Crus from two vintages, 1996 and 2005. Despite one corked bottle, the wines showcased Dauvissat’s skill at capturing Chablis' mineral tension and balance. The 1996s, especially, stunned us with their youthful intensity, proving the brilliance of this cooler vintage.

Next, we moved to Rhône whites—a blind tasting challenge. JdP served three from Southern Rhône and one from the North, including a 2005 J-L Chave Hermitage Blanc and a 2000 Château Rayas. Surprisingly, their weight and texture aligned more than I’d expected. Rhône whites are glycerin-rich and opulent—a fascinating contrast to Chablis’ minerality, especially when paired with our langoustine gnocchi.

Our Burgundy flight featured 2002 Mugneret-Gibourg Ruchottes-Chambertin and Echezeaux—both in peak form and showcasing the vintage’s freshness. Anne Gros’ Richebourgs from 1998 and 2000 followed, reminding us that even challenging vintages can shine with meticulous work and great terroir.

We concluded with Barolos from the Conterno family, including the legendary 2002 Monfortino. Against all odds in a difficult year, this wine was extraordinary—dense, complex, and deeply layered. Paired with fallow deer, it was a perfect match and a reminder of how Barolo shines in cooler weather.

And since we were in the UK, we finished with a classic: a 1966 Fonseca port—supple, aromatic, and structured. It was a perfect end to an evening of exceptional wines, each flight opening doors to new discoveries.

I highly recommend the “mini-theme” dinner format—it breaks up the palate, pairs well with food, and adds a sense of adventure.

Last month was an exciting whirlwind for us at The Fine Wine Experience! We opened our new shop within Club Bâtard in the Pedder Building, and our three-floor cellar is now packed with fantastic wines. After all the hard work, I knew just the way to unwind—good wine. So a few weeks ago, I joined my friends for a BYOB blind tasting dinner at a Chinese restaurant, and, as always, the bottle I brought stirred up some surprises: a 1985 Hermitage La Chapelle from Domaine Paul Jaboulet Aîné.

For a bit of background: Paul Jaboulet Aîné has been crafting wines in the Rhône Valley since 1834, with a commitment to organic and biodynamic methods under current winemaker Caroline Frey. Some find La Chapelle wines intense and silky; others call them tannic and too bold. I believe they just need time. La Chapelle truly shines after 20-30 years, as proven by our 1985 bottle—elegant, full-bodied, with a pure, fine finish. It surprised everyone with its brick-red color and flavors of forest floor, coffee beans, mint, and dried meats. Some thought it was an aged Bordeaux, and one even suggested a full-bodied Chambolle-Musigny.

And while the name "Paul Jaboulet La Chapelle" is disappearing, the wine isn’t. Caroline Frey has rebranded it under a new label, Domaine de la Chapelle, with its own distribution network. So if you spot the label change, rest assured—it’s still the same wine, just a new chapter!

31/10/2024

My recommendation today includes some of the latest releases we've received from Cigliuti: the 2021 Langhe Chardonnay and Barbaresco Serraboella, the 2022 Barbera d'Alba Campass, and the 2023 Langhe Nebbiolo. According to Linden, these wines are "beautiful, expressive terroir-driven wines at great prices." Cigliuti is a small family estate located in the historical village of Neive in the Langhe hills of Piedmont. Their vineyards cover 7.5 ha, producing approximately 30,000 bottles annually.

The Cigliuti family was one of the first in the region to prioritize quality over quantity, a rare approach in the 60s. As you can imagine, Cigliuti has enjoyed a strong reputation for many years, continuing to pioneer modern approaches in Barbaresco. For winemaking, they use indigenous yeast and ferment in temperature controlled stainless steel vats. Then, ageing takes place in a combination of large Slavonian oak botti and French oak tonneau (500-litre) for Barbaresco ‘Serraboella’. This wine is made from 60-year-old vines, and the structure and concentration from these old vines comes through in the glass. The 2021 is persistent with a minerally character to it. Flavours of dark cherry and dark raspberry along with notes of tar come forth on the nose. The tannins are present, but they are fine. This wine has a long length. It’s a well-structured Barbaresco with elegance. It needs time, but the quality and refinement are already present. The Nebbiolo Langhe is bright and lively with floral perfume, red and dark cherry fruit, notes of red currants and herbal aromas that include tarragon. This wine has medium tannins and a medium plus body. With each sip you salivate and want another glass. For the Barbera d’Alba ‘Campass’ ageing is in a combination of 20% new French oak barriques and second-use barriques. This 2022 has a creamy texture with juicy fruit character, but the fruit is lively and fresh with floral and liquorice aromas intermingled with the fruit.

An exceptional "vintage pair" that arrived this week includes the 2007 Château d'Yquem and 2007 Ygrec – Château d’Yquem’s dry white wine. Despite poor weather in Sauternes for much of the 2007 growing season - marked by a cool summer and rain in August that led to uneven ripening, swollen, and split fruits - the vintage was initially expected to be forgettable. However, a miraculous weather shift created ideal conditions for botrytis, transforming these initial challenges into a perfect example of the Sauternes ‘miracle’. The diverse and complex grape harvest at different stages resulted in a fantastic vintage.

Although I usually enjoy Ygrec at its younger stage for its bouquet of citrus and white peaches, the 2007 vintage demonstrates how well it can age, showcasing richness and remarkable balance with a subtle sweetness which remind me of Alsace or Burgundy whites. Meanwhile, the grand cuvée d'Yquem 2007 is still in its early stages. Let's not forget that this wine boasts a long lifespan—lasting twenty, fifty, or even over a hundred years. D'Yquem is uniquely special, as it transforms over time; its color shifts, and subtle aromas and flavors develop over years in the cellar. To be honest I enjoy d'Yquem at all of its stages. I enjoyed this 2007 too with its complex, fresh bouquet of tropical fruits like dried mangoes and pineapple, toasted almonds, and hints of white truffles. On the palate, it is a full-bodied, concentrated wine with an invigorating and racy finish. The 2007 vintage is one that can be cellared not just for decades but for generations. Yet, it's hard to resist savoring it now.

We received in a small collection of Egly-Ouriet Grand Cru Champagnes this week: Extra Brut V.P., Blanc de Noirs Vieilles Vignes, and the 2013 Brut Millésime. These champagnes are rarely mentioned because they tend to fly off our shelves quickly.

Other than their extensive holdings of grand crus vineyards in Ambonnay, Bouzy, and Verzenay, the work in the cellar reflects Egly-Ouriet’s unique know-how and makes them so special. It’s distinguished by its vinification process in wood, an uncommon practice in Champagne that enhances aromatic complexity while maintaining natural freshness. Since 1999, they have eschewed malolactic fermentation in the process to preserve acidity and freshness, with dosage levels never exceeding 3 g/litre. The disgorgement date is marked on the back label. These decisions contribute to the originality and rarity of Egly-Ouriet, which do not follow the current trend of selling progressively younger champagnes.

The Extra Brut V.P. is aged for over 7 years on lees, showcases impressive complexity with a minimal dosage of 2 g/L. On the palate, it combines power and great finesse of texture, the nobility of the Pinot Noir (70% of the blend) fully shines through alongside subtle hints of minerality. The Blanc de Noirs Vieilles Vignes is made with 100% Pinot Noir comes from Les Crayères, Ambonnay, planted in 1946. The chalky soil brings a rare finesse and elegance to this champagne of great intensity. The cuvée Grand Cru Millésimé is only produced in the best years, this 2013 reveals notes of grilled almonds and dried fruits, it is an opulent and powerful champagne, marked by a great persistence on the palate. For those who appreciate Grower Champagnes, Egly-Ouriet Champagnes are a must-have in your cellar, and they are beautiful bubbles to savor!

My sense at the moment is that top class Bordeaux offers amazing value for money. Beyond quality-for-price, two features stand out as I browse the shelves.

The first is that the most recent vintages represent the best quality ever in the bottle. People who love to talk about the “golden age” of something are usually referring in misty terms to a past, perhaps one they remember. Well, for Bordeaux, I think we are in it. In other words, the best Bordeaux being made today are worth the effort (and pleasure of ownership and contemplation) to lay down for the future. Quality has never been higher.

The second is that a relative lack of scarcity – Bordeaux is a wine blending plots and grape varieties, and the famous château typically have a good quantity of their grand vin each year to sell, especially when compared to Burgundy, the Rhône, and many other fine wine regions. It’s possible to buy something of high quality, well-cellared, and ready to enjoy, without paying the scarcity-trophy premium. If performance in the glass is your interest, then Bordeaux is hard to beat.

It shouldn’t surprise you then when I tell you that today I buy Bordeaux – both to lay down, and for current drinking. Here are four château on the Left Bank that have my attention in both cases. While I think Château Latour has arguably been the most consistent of the first growths in recent years, it rightfully commands a premium for its quality and rank. My first two picks below are my own answer when I want something close, for less (and they are no coincidence).

23/10/2024

It is not often that we have the opportunity to offer a selection of ready to drink Burgundy grand crus from Domaine de la Romanée-Conti like this.

All these bottles have been stored in ideal conditions, and inspected by us. There is something here for everybody, including whole pristine original wooden cases, loose bottles, large formats, and a good selection of La Tâche too.

I suggest paying extra attention to the 1999s. According to Burghound Allen Meadows, “the Domaine de la Romanée-Conti produced one of its best vintages ever, which is no small praise given the greatness this domaine so often attains”.
The 1996s are still so youthful but show amazing richness, freshness, poise, and balance. The 1995 Grands Échézeaux is a one of my personal favourites too showing lovely minerality, fruit and acidity.

Also take this rare chance to acquire some of the 2005 La Tâche. 2005 is a fine vintage to drink now but it still has all its drinking years ahead of it, so perhaps enjoy one or two bottles at your upcoming dinners and then keep a few in your cellar and revisit them again in the future? Another expectational sample from this vintage is the 2005 La Romanée-Conti, with Allen Meadows awarded a highly coveted 99+ points.

The cellaring and waiting has all been done for you. If you find yourself with questions, would like advice on which wines to choose, or would like photos, be sure to reach out. In our experience wines like these slip through our fingers very quickly indeed, so please do not hesitate.

For white Burgundy lovers, we have a few bottles of well-priced 2010 Bouchard Montrachet.

🍷Search Bouchard Père et Fils:
finewineexperience.com/wine

I really like how 2010 white Burgundies are drinking now, but they will hold for quite some time in your cellar. So, purchasing them can be a great way to track the evolution of this Montrachet. Bouchard Père et Fils, one of the oldest estates in Burgundy, was founded in Beaune in 1731 by Michel Bouchard. In 1775, they acquired their first vineyard, 'Les Caillerets' in Volnay. Their Montrachet plot, measuring 0.89 hectares, is located on the Puligny side and was acquired in 1838.

In 2010, there was poor flowering, resulting in a small crop. This reduced crop meant more concentrated, flavorful grapes and resulting wine. At Bouchard, the Montrachet is aged for about 12-13 months in French oak barrels with up to 15% new oak, so while there is a rounded texture to the wine, in terms of aromatics, you primarily experience the qualities of the vintage. The 2010 vintage is characterized by reviewers as a classic Burgundy vintage, with vibrant acidity while also maintaining ripeness.

A gem on our list of New Arrivals this week that I hope you don’t miss out on amongst the blockbusters is Pensées de Lafleur.

🍷Search Pensées de Lafleur:
finewineexperience.com/wine

We have 2000 (only 1 bottle), 3 bottles of 2017 in original wooden case and 2020 in both regular and magnum bottles all available now. Pensées de Lafleur offers a different expression of the vineyard at Château Lafleur. Sylvie and Jacques Guinaudeau created this label in 1987, originally conceived as a 'second wine', but today it is its own wine, from its own plot, within Château Lafleur. In addition, it’s not made from de-classified areas of the vineyard or young vines. The wine is made from 0.8 hectares of vines that run in a diagonal shaped line across the vineyard of Château Lafleur. The soils here are deeper and are made up of sandy-silt and brown sand. In terms of the vinification, the grapes are fermented in temperature controlled, small stainless steel tanks and then aged in exactly the same way as Château Lafleur.

I recently tasted the Pensées de Lafleur 2005 and 2009 at our shop side by side at our shop. The 2005 was the one that impressed me due to its balance. This wine showcased red berry and dark berry aromas with notes of dark cherry, cassis, and savory herbs like thyme. I opened the 2005 and decanted it for two hours, then poured it back into the bottles for another two hours before drinking it. Four hours of aeration in total allowed the wine to offer an enjoyable expression of 2005 Pomerol. The 2009 was a much riper expression with silkier tannins and darker, bolder fruit aromas and flavors. Explore other vintages of Pensées de Lafleur available and add them to the mix to experience how these years fare for Pomerol from one of its best estates.

One of my favourite example of the 1986 vintage in Bordeaux is Mouton-Rothschild. When this bottle is on, it's sensational.
🍷Search Château Mouton Rothschild:
finewineexperience.com/wine
It s a masculine expression of the vintage and quite dense with a range of aromatic intensity and flavour. But I’ve also experienced moments with 1986 Mouton when it’s just been too closed and not giving. So, this wine is for those who like the extraordinary expression and heights that a wine can deliver but are also willing to accept it when the wine isn’t "Mindblasting", as my colleague Francois is so fond of exclaiming when a wine moves him. I like to give 1986 Mouton lots of air, so give it at least two hours in the decanter. The aromatics that I enjoy in this wine are the sweet, dark fruit aromas of blackberries and dark raspberries, green leaf to***co, liquorice, lead pencil, and a touch of forest floor. Then, complementing these flavours there is a long finish and sturdy structure that make for a complete and full expression of Mouton at its finest.
A gem on our list of New Arrivals this week that I hope you don’t miss out on amongst the blockbusters is Pensées de Lafleur.

Château Margaux 1986 is drinking well now and expresses the qualities we crave and admire in a glass of Château Margaux - the floral, perfumed note is there, but this vintage offers more structure and firmness than we normally associate with Margaux. This wine very much reflects the vintage and is one of its finest examples.

A young Louis-Michel Liger-Belair began domaine-bottling in 2000, with parcels of vineyards he took over that remained in family hands. The family had once owned many of the greatest vineyards in Burgundy, but much was lost in the 20th century. Crucially though, the family still owns a great monopole grand cru in Vosne-Romanée – La Romanée, as well as the 1er Cru next to it – Aux Reignots. Around these he rebuilt his domaine, which today comprises 15 cuvées spread over the villages of Vosne-Romanée, Flagey-Echézeaux, Nuits-Saint-Georges and Vougeot.

La Romanée is the smallest AOC in Burgundy at just 0.8542ha, making it also the rarest (3000 – 4000 bottles per year only). It is also regarded as one of Burgundy’s greatest vineyards – wine from this vineyard has been famous in Europe for over 600 years! It’s long fame has been closely connected to the most famous Burgundy vineyard of all – La Romanée-Conti. At various times in history these two vineyards have been combined, so too the wine. But, for the past 200 years the two vineyard – and the two wines – have been separate.

The vineyard is owned by the Liger-Belair family, and has been managed since 2002 by the 7th generation, Louis-Michel Liger-Belair who has worked hard to elevate this wine’s status and reputation to its rightful place.

La Romanée, which lies in the heart of Vosne-Romanée, is a distinctive, reserved, classically-styled grand cru that requires long ageing to show its full potential. These vintages on our offer below represent the fruit of Louis-Michel’s labours – immaculate, naturally concentrated, precisely executed pinnacles of Burgundy quality.

15/10/2024

Romanée-St.-Vivant is one of the top grands crus in Vosne-Romanée with about 9.40 hectares shared among multiple owners. It is surrounded by magnificent vineyards such as La Romanée-Conti itself, Richebourg, and the 1er Cru ‘Les Suchots’. It’s a vineyard rich in history that can be traced back to the 13th century where the land was cultivated by the monks of Abbey of St.-Vivant. The soil is composed largely of clay on a limestone base, and ideally situated to produce grapes of unequal quality.

I am finding that the popularity of Romanée-St.-Vivant is constantly growing among enthusiasts as its wines are known for their great longevity depending on the vintage, as well as their fragrance, elegance, and incredible complexity. The key characteristics in RSV wines are their silky and elegant tannins, and the very seductive nose of red and black fruits with spice, smoke, tea and some flower scents of violet. With age, aromas of leather, plum, game, and earthiness develop too.

Recently I had the occasion to drink a 2009 RSV from Domaine Sylvain Cathiard with my friends, thanks to their generosity. We opened the wine about an hour before drinking (could require more patience for this one, as we drank it over a period of three hours). By the time we poured the 2009, the wine had a nice structure and velvety tannins, along with a great concentration of fruits. The glass revealed charming fragrance of rose petal, Asian spices, black cherry, raspberry, and strawberry. This wine still has a lot of life ahead. If you want to get the most of it at this moment, I would recommend to drink from our list 2002, 2003, and 2013 which would be more approachable.

Because of the increase in popularity of Romanée-St.-Vivant amongst enthusiasts they are becoming increasingly difficult to find in the market. Therefore, now is a good time to get a few before they become less available in the future. The quality of wines from this great vineyard has continued to improve, and with all the work carried out by Domaine de la Romanée-Conti over the past two decades to improve their half of the vineyard, their example now rivals (or even exceeds) the quality of their Richebourg.

The Fine Wine Experience Burghound Symposium returns in March 2023. Join us with Allen Meadows and several Burgundy producers visiting us in Hong Kong, for a series of exciting masterclasses, dinners, and our popular “paulée”-style Gala dinner Past symposiums produced some of our best memories in 2015, 2016, 2017, 2018, and 2019, and grew to become Asia’s most-anticipated Burgundy-themed wine event. Sadly we had to take a pandemic-induced break in 2020, 2021 and 2022, but we are back for 2023 – so mark your calendar now from TUESDAY 21st to SATURDAY 25th MARCH 2023 To ensure you can grab the earliest seats, send us an email to receive the early bird offer when the programme is complete: [email protected] #finewineexperience #experience #hk #burgundy #burghound #finewine #treatyourself #winepairing #winetasting #winelover #winelife #winemaker #wineoclock #vin #vino #酒 #와인

The Durand® combines the benefits of a “waiter’s friend” corkscrew and an “ah-so” corkscrew into one device, and is almost invincible against all kinds of corks. No more re-assembling little cork fragments like some forensics analyst! https://bit.ly/TFWEGifts #finewineexperience #hk #winelover #winelife #winetasting #vin #wineoclock #treatyourself #finewine #Durand #stressfree #cork #wineporn
