I had 3 hours spare time in Wan Chai on Sunday and so I decided to give the Food Expo a visit; not that it wasn't intruding into my life this last weekend. My little girl was taking part in rehearsals and performances at the Academy for Performing Arts (APA) the whole weekend and I was to be in charge for Saturday and Sunday. She however had Taekwondo lessons between two sessions on Saturday, but at the other end of Harbour Road (Wan Chai Sports Centre). Police crowd control meant that we had to go round the block rather than as the crow flies, hence the frustration.
As I only had 3 hours and I needed material to feed this blog, I decided to target the wine booths. In a previous Expo, I had some Korean grape wine as well as wine from Moldova. This time I tasted some Hungarian wines from the importer I know, but also got to taste a number of obscure grapes that I never tried before. These discoveries include Schilcher rose from Austria, another of eight vignerons (making it the fourth I know) with holdings in Scharzhofberg as well as the Josephshofer monopole of von Kesselstat. I had also encountered (and tasted) von Kesselstat's Scharzhofberg again. So all in all a good (even if short) visit!
