Frankie Zhao is joining the group of contributors at Grape Wall of China, a site that brings wine consumers, distributors, makers, academics and consultants together to provide information and opinions about the country’s growing wine scene.

Zhao is the founder of market research and promotion company Pro-Wine Training & Consultancy. He has been active in China’s wine scene for nearly a decade, as a writer, a researcher, an educator, a club organizer, and a wine judge.

For more details on his background, see this talk I had with him a few months ago. And expect to soon see his insights on everything from consumer trends to the best wines for newcomers.
