The accidental wine tasting



I went to a medical society meeting about brain and respiratory monitoring at a Mongkok hotel and found this at the back of the function room at which the dinner lecture is being held. It turned out that the importers of the medical instruments had recently started a wine importing business and they were showcasing some of their wines to the assembled doctors. Apart from German wines, they also have some wines from Austria, Australia and Canada.

I was pleasantly surprised about this unexpected turn of things. I tried out a couple of Sekts, an Erstes Gewachs from Rhinegau, a Blaufrankisch from Austria and even two Canadian Ice Wines. The wines I chose for tasting turned out quite nice after all, even the Canadian wines. A wine importer to follow!
