HKVCA Wine Tasting Event - 23 Nov 2009

With the generous sponsorship of Thomson Reuters and supported by Alternative Investment Management Association, HKVCA 6th Wine Tasting was a great success. The annual event gets better each year and has gained a reputation for being a most enjoyable way of learning and tasting some very fine wines under the guidance of the leading wine expert, Simon Tam. This year’s theme is "Blend your own Bordeaux".

The greatest red wines come from Bordeaux. Little known is that many classic wines are a blend of 3 grape varieties, Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Cabernet France. The blending workshop demonstrated the relative importance of these three principle grapes. Participants made their own blend and challenged against a real Bordeaux as well as teams-finished blends.

All participants had a fun evening mixing wine, and networking.
