Events

During the first week of October, the Shanghai Branch will visit Spain for a tour of the vineyards and restaurants in Joselito and Ribera del Duero.  Porto may also be included in the trip.

The Shanghai Branch is planning a trip to France during the last week of October to visit a variety of wineries in the Rhone Valley.

The Shanghai Branch enjoyed a special dinner on October 28 at the exciting T8 Restaurant in Shanghai. The wines to accompany the dinner saw a focus on magnums – always a treat to drink wines from a magnum given their slower development.   A fine selection of wines from Austria, China, France, Spain, Portugal and Japan made for a fabulous evening, matching well with a selection of outstanding dishes served up by T8.
