It’s on: Twenty distributors confirmed for Grape Wall Challenge

Posted on | March 2, 2009 | No Comments

The Grape Wall Challenge, scheduled for March 13, now has a full slate of wines. Twenty distributors confirmed their participation, from the biggest companies to the smaller players, from those providing wines from many countries to those focusing on a single nation. The wines will hail from six countries: France, Italy, South Africa, Chile, Argentina, and Australia. The eighteen companies are (in order of signing up):

GELIPU
China Wines & Spirits
Links Concept
French Wine Paradox
DCT
Top Cellar
BJ Winestore
French Touch Int’l
Label France
Summergate
Torres China
East Meets West
ASC
DT Asia
Wine River
Beijing Museo
Palette Vino
Aussino
Jingjiehang
Beijing Panser

We will work with interested distributors on a second event, a public tasting in which consumers can try the wines entered in the Grape Wall Challenge and be their own judges. Finally, a list of judges on the expert panel will be posted here later in the week.
