My weekly listing of wine events poses a couple of problems. First, it gets buried beneath a bunch of new posts within a few days. Second, I get event invites almost daily and want to pass the info along right away rather than wait for the next listing.

To deal with this, I’ve added a wine event listings page on sibling blog Grape Wall of China. You can find it in the right column, under “pages”, and it means I can update the listings as soon as I get the invites. (Case in point: I just added three free events that Top Cellar will hold in late October and November.)

As usual, if you intend to attend any listed events, it is best to confirm the details with the venue ahead of time. Also, if you want your wine event listed, send the details to beijingboyce@yahoo.com.

Finally, two quick plugs:

1. I have restarted the Friday Food Fight feature on Grape Wall of China. The deal: I suggest a food and readers suggest a wine to match it. This week’s candidate: hairy crabs!

2. I have a bunch of “Wine Word” interviews coming up, but for those interested in past posts, which include talks with local and global wine figures like Robert Joseph, Jeremy Oliver, Tyler Colman, Jancis Robinson, Wu Kegang, Don St. Pierre Jr., Frankie Zhao, and Ch’ng Poh Tiong, a partial list is here.
