Grape finds: Lufthansa Center
I popped into the basement supermarket of the Lufthansa Center earlier this week and discovered a bonanza of booze. Decent selections of imported wine, vodka, gin, sake and Whisky were to be found, including hard to find (in Beijing) Woodford Reserve Bourbon (561 kuai) and an impressive range of bottle sizes, from minis to magnums.
The Chinese wine included Great Wall, Dynasty and Fengshou, with plenty of vintages - well, according to the labels - in the 1990s. It also included rarely seen Huadong, although no recent vintages. The Chardonnay and Cabernet Sauvignon were both 2000, the Riesling a 2002. A decent range of Grace Vineyard wines are available, from entry-level offerings to the Chairman’s Reserve.
I picked up the Huadong Riesling 2002 (76 kuai) and a Grace Premium Red 2001 (108 kuai) for my next blind tasting.
