There’s summer school and then there’s school to prepare for summer, and the latter is being offered this Wednesday and Thursday as Fongyee Walker and Edward Ragg present on Wines for Summer Drinking. These sessions run from 7 PM sharp to 8.30 PM at the Park Plaza Hotel and include a tutored tasting of eight wines that cover several different countries, regions and styles. Walker and Ragg have judged numerous wine tastings, led wine courses, written about wine and are self-professed “wine geeks”.

The RMB 250 price includes the wines, tasting sheets, advice on buying wine in Beijing, and a buffet dinner in the Park Plaza’s Bloo. To book a spot in either the Wednesday or Thursday spot, contact Fongyee Walker at fongyee@cantab.net.
