Grape Wall of China is teaming up with the Beyond Beijing program on China International Radio to find a judge for the Grape Wall Wine Challenge. We are looking for a Chinese consumer to sit on a panel with five others on March 13 at Maxim’s (Solana) and taste wines that retail for less than RMB100. The goal is for the group to pick a “top ten.”

To join the contest, go to either this thread or this thread and tell us a bit about your experiences with wine. During this Friday’s Beyond Beijing show, we will pick one person to join the panel.

The winner will then spend the morning of March 13 sniffing, sipping, savoring, and spitting two dozen white wines, and then join his or her fellow judges for a lunch with the media.

We are planning several more wine events that will feature both panels of foreigners and locals as well as a public tasting of some of the wines entered into the Grape Wall Challenge.
