Happy Hour in Central, Hong Kong, 23 Dec 2013

One of the my wing tasting See Hing called for a Happy Hour in Central. Then, 5 of our wine taste brothers gathering in a 14/F of a commercial building in Central at around 6:15pm. Later on, 3 more than my ex-colleagues were joining us. Together with the 2 shop in-charge persons, we had around 10 person to enjoy this Magnum.

This is the top star of the night. According to our Master of Wine, Hubert LIGNIER is one of his favorite Wine Maker. The fact was that it lightened up all of our week after having it.  The smell were strong and taste was well-balanced. It was smooth with great sour cherry and excellent floral. Absolutely my glass of Burgundy. (Magnum so it can be shared with 8~10 friends together , Good Price: $1,xxx in Central a Wine Shop in 14/F. as of Dec 2013)

We had other wine as well including below
The Margaux 1982 was the favorite of our another Master. His preference tends to have powerful and strong taste of wine.






Why we have this Gossips Wine?

Why we talk about Wine?

We entered the world of wine by chance. We were lucky to have some of our ex-colleagues to share their wine experience and view with us. It was really opened up our mind to go to a new and fantastic world. Hence we would like to use a systematic way to drop down all our wonderful and nice experience so that we can have a platform for any friends who would like to share their view for wine.

Why we called Gossips Wine?

After watching the US series Gossips Girls, we think it would be a good idea to blend those 2 things together. Hence we setup the Gossips Wine. This is a platform for all of our friends of wine to share the gossips here.
