Another new wine shop opens in the neighbourhood

I just noticed the other day that a new wine shop had opened round the corner but at the time it was closed. From the talk tasting wines at the more familiar neighbourhood wine shop, it seemed that this new shop "specializes" in carrying organic and biodynamic wines. When I git around to visiting it, sure enough there were quite a few biodynamic wines from a large variety of locations. Prominent on the shelves was a Ruche DOCG, a wine I had tried some time ago at the HKIWSF but frankly do not expect to see on the shelves. There was a whole range of biodynamic and special Muscadet de Sevre et de Maine from Domaine de L'Ecu (the name was memorable because the ECU was the forerunner of the Euro). Bordeaux on contrast was not prominent. This could be a very interesting wine shop but given Hongkongers' preferences, also one that could quickly go out of business!!
