Having bought a copy of Hugh Johnson in Chinese, I took more or an interest in Chinese wine books. This is what I saw the other day whilst waiting for my little girl who was taking dancing lessons - a 2013 Wine Year Book collated by the Greater China Association of Wine Critics (own translation). Flipping through it, I was struck by the similarity of the contents with quite a bit of this blog. That got me thinking; maybe I should give a serious thought to trying my hand at writing something like that. Well. we'll wait and see what happens.
As for the wines in this book, there are many that I have tasted, even though it might not be the same vintage. There was however one wine that really got my interest as a grape collector. No, it was not the Georgian wine made from Tavkveri, as I had already tasted that grape. It was actually a Burgundy made from the rare Cesar grape - I wonder if I would ever get to taste that grape!
