Tasting time Beijing: St. Supery, South Africa, Mundo Vino, and more

By Jim Boyce

After a light summer of wine events, Beijing’s distributors are back in force with a slew of them. Palette Wines will get out a good part of its portfolio for Mundo Vino, a tasting of over 100 wines at the Palette Vino shop in Shunyi on August 18 (RMB150), while the Hilton’s eleventh annual wine show is slated for November 29. The weekly “Friday with Frank” tastings at Sequoia Cafe will re-start next week. And a special shout to Winelink, which holds a weekly South African wine tasting at Pinotage. I recently tried a bottle of the company’s Deetlefs Estate Weisser Riesling – great value at RMB80 (thanks to Frankie Zhao for bringing it along). I’ll have more next week, including on upcoming Beaujolais Nouveau events.

Now, the tastings…
