The Shangri-la series: Grape adventures in Yunnan
Last December, I tagged along on a research trip by Ma Huiqin of China Agricultural University and visited Yunnan Red Wine Company, which uses French vines that many think were originally brought there by European missionaries in the nineteenth century and may no longer exist in France. I interviewed several people and learned about the company and its operations, history, grapes and vines. Here are the links:

CEO Wu Kegang: How he got involved in the company
