  1. @garyvee gary, your book hasn't made it in china until i see fake copies showing up on the streets here. keep working it, dude!
  2. @dda maybe and maybe not. there are five producers in china with wines - from chinese grapes - that i think show good promise.
  3. @dda that would be great! i'll need a month to recover from this week. i'll bring a bottle of china's best red (don't laugh)
  4. @dda i *did* like the la tour carnet. hard to gather thoughts at moment tho as in bar playing "let me see your booty bounce".
  5. @dda best wine i tasted this week: torbreck struie 2005 from a magnum. plus the chevalier and pape clement from UGC tasting.
  6. @dda yep. had a nice alsace sylvaner and riesling last night instead.
  7. Duboef Beaujolais Nouvea for RMB268 (USD40) at Beijing dive bar best known for infused rum. Predict those bottles still there next year.
