By Jim Boyce | Cafe de la Poste will once again support the annual Maovember charity campaign, with an all-new lineup of French and Chinese labels for this year’s blind wine tasting classic. Last year’s tasting featured four French wines versus entry-level options from Shandong, Shanxi, Ningxia and Xinjiang in China. Expect some higher-end wines added to the mix for this year’s event.
Think you can tell the difference between French and Chinese wine? Or just want to enjoy fine vino and fellowship? RSVP for one of the 16 spots by calling 6402-7047. The tasting is rmb100, all proceeds to Maovember, which is partnered this year with Library Project and Good Works.
After the tasting, enjoy “coffee shots” (coffee, vodka and Kahlua) made with java from 2016 partner Good Works, for rmb20, or check out a virtual reality activity, also for rmb20, with all funds to charity.
