Yesterday, Florian and I hosted The Fine Wine Experience’s first online live wine tasting. We live-streamed a wine tasting session from the shop on Facebook where none of the participants were in the shop with us – everyone was in their own home, with their own set of the wines which we supplied in advance. This was a Hong Kong first! We were delighted to see that you were able to comment and ask questions during the live-streaming and that we were able to answer them live during the tasting.

Join us live, from your home or private gathering, for our second episode, to be live-streamed, 4:30pm on Thursday 16th April.

At yesterday’s, first edition, on Burgundy village reds, Florian and I talked about six different villages in Burgundy and what to expect in the glass. The focus of this first session was reds, so the wines are all made from Pinot Noir. Our focus was on villages in the Côte d’Or. We started in the north in the Côte de Nuits and described and tasted through wines from four villages there – Gevrey-Chambertin, Chambolle-Musigny, Vosne-Romanée, and Nuits-St.-Georges. Then, we moved into the section of Burgundy best known for its whites – the Côte de Beaune – and we discovered Pommard and Chassagne-Montrachet Rouge. 

For this next one, we will also have a lucky draw! That’s right, for anyone who purchases the 6-pack of wines for our next session, you will automatically be entered in our lucky draw to win a Piccolo from VinGardeValise (worth USD249), our preferred wine luggage provider. This petite size wine luggage will carry 5 wine bottles safely to wherever you want to go to enjoy wine, ensuring that you have the best in your glass at any destination. And, for the lucky winner, we will have the wine luggage delivered directly to your door.

Another special feature of the 6-pack of wines for our next session is that we are also offering a special price on Zalto White Wine glasses. We realized that some of you may be joining us from your office or just do not have wine glasses at home. You likely noticed in our online live wine tasting that Florian and I were using Zalto glasses. These are our preferred glass to taste with, so we want to offer you the opportunity to taste with the same high-quality glass. Take advantage of this opportunity to stock up on these glasses which really do improve your ability to taste the wine and experience all it has to offer. Florian and I can’t wait to see you on the 16th!

Zalto White Wine glasses Offer:
Original Price: HKD 520/glass, Special Price: HKD 416/glass, available in 2-pack & 6-pack.
