ASC opens Hong Kong office

ASC held a tasting to launch its new office

By Jim Boyce

I have been mulling over a post about Hong Kong-based wine distributors such as Watson’s and Links moving into Beijing and now comes news that ASC has expanded the other way. Earlier this week, the company opened an office in Kong Kong and, according to a press release, as of January 1 will be exclusive importer and distributor of more than 30 brands there, including Bodega Norton, Ayala Champagne, Inniskillin, Leeuwin Estate, Louis Jadot, Masi, Santa Rita, and Seghesio.

Robert Temple will lead the Hong Kong office, with Samuel Lai heading logistics, Thibaut Mathieu in charge of marketing, and Gareth Punton spearheading sales, while Don St. Pierre Jr. continues to lead the company from the Shanghai office.
