I blogged about this book recently. What I did not expect was how it set another target in my grape chasing endeavoursl. The book lists 100 wines recommended by wine critics in the Greater China region, and amongst the familiar and not so familiar names are a couple of wines made from obscure grapes. The first, Pheasant's Tears Tavkveri 2009 led me to check and see if I had tried wines made from Tavkveri before. Indeed I had done so visiting the Georgia Pavilion in the Wine Fair in 2011. The second wine was a Burgundy made by Simmonet-Fevre. It was really a case of a surprise from a familiar maker of Chablis (for that is what I had tasted most from their range). They make a red burgundy from the Cesar grape. I wonder if I can find a bottle here in Hong Kong. Time to check the importers.
