Unfortunately, the wines at these tastings are usually not available at Sequoia for retail. They do have about two dozen good-value French wines, though. Cheers, Boyce @ Y A Li,

That's the way to promote wine consumption. Last May I was surprised to notice average Chinese drinking (red) wine in place of baijiu. I thought there would be a shift toward wine, but not this fast. Their price definitely is below 100 RMS, more like below 50. That's where the big market is. This market is crying for a Fred Franzia. 100 RMB for wine tasting with (some) food !!

For them to offer Canadian wine, and there are very good ones, they must have something going right. Surely will visit Sequoia Cafe next time I’m in Beijing.
