Legends of the fall: My fave table at the last tasting...
Carrefour in Shuangjing pops the cork on its spring wine fair tonight from 6 PM. The fair last through April 23, though tonight includes a 20 percent discount along with the chance to sample hundreds of wines for free. As usual, I recommend that you bring your own glass (BYOB). See the photo below for the difference between what you will be given and what you might bring.
Also, check out the wines from French Wine Paradox. The table above was among the best at the fall fair, both in terms of wine and service. I know some people turn up their noses at Yellowtail, but given some of the corked and oxidized wines I found at some tables, I’ll take it for the consistency. And Obikwa makes some easy-going good-value wines.
You can see the catalog here. And a few posts about past fairs here:
