Tasting time in Beijing: Hilton Wine Fair, Zind Humbrecht, Galician dinner, and more

By Jim Boyce

Lots of wine events coming up, including this Saturday’s Hilton Food & Wine Experience (see here for last chance to win tickets and an overnight stay) and plenty of Beaujolais Nouveau parties (full list coming next week).

Of note is tomorrow’s Domaine Zind Humbrecht wine dinner with owner and winemaker Oliver Humbrecht, the first Master of Wine in France and a leader in bio-dynamics, at Maison Boulud. The fee is RMB600, fair dinkum for a quality dinner with wines at this restaurant. RSVP with Oliver Baenninger at Globus Wine – 010-5206-3020 or oliverbaenninger@globus-wine.com.

The Spanish Chamber of Commerce in China are co-hosting a wine dinner that features Galician cuisine by Jordi Villegas, including lobster, tomato, and basil salad, suckling pig terrine with truffle dressing, and pan-fried scallops. The evening includes five Galician wines and five Galician liqueurs. Details: November 13, 7 PM to 10 PM, Blu Lobster, RMB888 (pay in advance to the Spanish Chamber of Commerce), RSVP deadline November 11. To RSVP or for more information, contact info@spanishchamber-ch.com.

Summergate has announced that The Courtyard, which overlooks the Forbidden City, now has an Enomove wine cart that will allow diners to choose a glass – or a sample – of fine wine at their tables. The promotion is called “Taste Wine Food Moat”. I’m not sure what that means, but I do like the idea of tasting a few additional wines with my meal.

Dear members and friends:

The Spanish Chamber of Commerce in China and IGAPE (Galician Institute for Economic Development) are pleased to present “Spanish Fine Wine Dinner/Galician Gastronomy” a real gastronomic experience where you can enjoy the high cuisine of Jordi Villegas, renowned Spanish Chef who has worked for 10 years in some of the most famous Michelin restaurants. You may also enjoy a selection of 5 Galician fine wines and 5 Galician high quality Liqueurs.

This is an excellent opportunity to introduce the food and wine from Galicia to your business customers and friends in a relaxed and friendly atmosphere in one of the best restaurants in Beijing (Blu Lobster / Shangri – La Hotel).
