Meet one of the region’s top sommeliers and have a blind wine taste test of fine Chinese wines versus wines from California, France, Italy and other well-established regions. Chinese wines are gaining traction with young, local oenophiles as the country’s winemakers – many of whom are specialists who also consult in France, Austria and New Zealand – race to produce fine wines instead of the tawny country wines that have been rolling off the production line since neglected vineyards in mainland China were resurrected in the 1980s.
