u are absolutely right!! we had complete response by thise meal

小小tasting notes

Georges Blanc Cremant de Bourgogne NV
汽泡不算密但細緻, 酸度高, 檸檬等柑橘類(citrus)味明顯, 汽泡散後甘苦味稍多, 作為開胃酒可說十分稱職

Heinrich Briebeler Zeltinger Himmelreich Auslese1969
餘糖 (residual sugar)已完全融入酒中, 酒體中高度豐厚, 酸度高, 果味稍遜, 明顯地已從山頂走下坡, 但以千餘元當是體驗舊酒的表現已值回票價

Domaine Marcoux CDP 2000
果味充沛, 酒體結實, 仍十分年輕, 相信陳年後會更有風味.  柏加(Robert Parker)的價值得到驗值, 因為1999 - 2001 三個年份均同價, 所以大夥兒選擇了最高分數的一年去試, 而大家也很滿意此酒的表現

Hi guys, i am currently located in Australia. I am planning to set up an e-tailing wine shop in HK, any comment on you guys? I can source some good wine from australia with a good price. Rockford winery, Greenock Creek, Torbreck are in my list. And also some odd bottles of cult wine can be sourced if requested. So you guys think it gonna work? My problem is that i would sell only Australia wine and couldn provide as much variety like other giant retailer.

** say 260 AUD gor RR...how many bottle can i sell in HK...
thanks for the comment

hi artwine

personally i dont think that your idea would work since -

1.  high end wines are not the most profit making portion in the wine industry
2.  most consumers in HK prefers (or actually knows) expensive wines from France, Australian high end wines are not that popular in HK
3.  the price you quoted is not really too attractive from my view

moreover, most high end wine lovers actually have own contact with the overseas wine merchants to get good price. such as us

hi guys, would you mind pass me ur email add and i wil mail u guys my price list individually so that i can get more feedback. Really need your help as i am new to HK market. I have roughly compare the price with Altaya i think i can offered better price than them for some of the wine.


thanks heap for helping

Ah Tai,

Wanna pick up your Giaconda towards end of next week as my boss will be gone.

Hi Artwine, if I want to buy a high-end wine, I'll definitely not going to buy it from an unknown source even the price is cheaper, that's all I can say.

i see....but how hk drinkers define an unknown source. Cause at this stage, we plan to set up a website to sell wine and also a small office in HK for wine pick up or any walk in purchase and also i will personally base in HK.

we directly deal with a few wineries from Australia and also plan to include some popular australia wine into our portfolio(not necesary high-end products) but with competative price.

We have bit of resource in Australia so still work out the best way to get into HK market that y i need help from HK drinkers.

**anyway nice to meet you all..
btw, my favoutite wine is Greenock Creek, Rockford Basket Press, Noon. I hardly drink old world wine and not a big fan of them. Not rich enough to try the top old world wine.hehe......

In my wine experience,  I seldom select wine from regions, but good value.
Although i have not tried a bottle of good Chilean wine for a long time ( except Amaviva, )

Recently, my house wine is Pertaringa Scarecrow Sau Blanc from Adelaide.

Artwine ching, u are wellcome to share your wine experience here but try your best not to sell your products even so subtle. Thx.

If u did follow our thread, u should know which Aussie bottle is our favorite.

haha...i didn really sell my product here subtlely. But will try to promote wine i think is good even they have agent in HK. I didn even mention the wineries that i represent, those i mention are my favourite.

I realise Deadarm seems to be one of the favourite and also wendouree, 707 and 407.
I am not a big fan of Deadarm. Tried a few old vintages which were good, but the new vintages seems nth fantastic.

The 2006 Greenock Creek just released and for me Seven Acre has it best vintages and is the best among all. RR shiraz good but not not going to hit RP98 to 100, RR cab not my cup of tea. Alices not as good as 2005 and Apricot Block hehe too much uncertainty, the wine still very very tight.

anyway, i am not really expert in wine. I start drinking 4 yrs ago. My australia wines knowledge is good but palate still not as expert.hehe

My wife went to a 私房菜 in Wyndham Street called 客家爺爺 and she said it's really good - as good as Yixin.  

蔡瀾 gave it a good coverage at the Next Magazine a couple of months back.  Maybe we can give this a try - at least price will be cheaper and this is what we need in this difficult time.

their lunch is just so-so, but i am happy to try out their dinner with you guys

need to find something more affordable , man
the most important thing is gathering with u all!

in such hard time,  still Cheers for being fine and healthy!!  Life is still not bad!
