Posted on | August 14, 2008 | No Comments
By Jim Boyce
As a wine drinker, I love to hear as many voices as possible, including those of wine writers, consumers, distributors, makers and event organizers. I’ve been lucky enough to talk to many such people, whether they are based in China or abroad, and whether we did it by phone, via email, or over a glass of wine. I earlier listed those interviews and I have now update it. Here they are – in chronological order:
