Some of you might have read in the Apple Daily that the wine served at President Obama's private dinner for President Hu came from a Napa vineyard owned by a Hong Kong entrepeneur - Hestan Chardonnay and Stephanie Merlot. The wine is available here in Hong Kong too.
Here however is another wine from a Hong Kong owned estate, this time is in Sainte-Foy Bordeaux. Whereas the Chengs who owned the Napa vineyard employed various winemakers, the wines from Chateau La Bourguette are made by one of the owners' daughters Beverley, who I had the chance to meet at a wine fair a few years ago. A couple of years or so back, Park n Shop featured both the ordinary cuvee as well as this wine in its Wine Fair promotion that is now becoming an annual fixture. I had already seen and tasted both wines and so got some for everyday drinking, something that this wine manages easily in its stride.
Of course everyone knows about the wine that is made from imported juice actually in Hong Kong, but that's another topic for another time.
