-
Vinolia wine shop opened in B1 of the Yintai Center last Friday with actress Yang Jin Hua (楊謹華) as the featured attraction. The shop includes a general retail area stocked mostly with French wines, but including some Australian and Chilean brands, with a few priced at ~RM150 but most quite a bit more. There is also a stand up wine bar, a private room, and a second storage area that holds some of the rarer items in the collection, including a set of Chateau Lafite from 1945 to the most recent vintage. (No price is listed for these wines: the manager says interested parties may contact Vinolia to discuss it.) During the afternoon, wine consultant Nicolas Carre demonstrated how to decant wine.

On the fly today so just a quick post that a wine shop will open in the B1 level of the Yintai Center next month. Called Vinolia, word is that it has backing from investors from Taiwan and will focus — not surprisingly — on French wines though also include some top drop from other countries. More on this place soon. (Hat tip: The French Connection)
