After a prolonged absence, the wine events list is back, and just in time for some nice tastings: a blind one of Sauvignon Blanc that includes a vote at the end, a lineup of six German wines from three producers, and the upcoming (and free) opening of the Carrefour spring wine fair.
To get pop-up maps of venue locations or to send the address for free – in English or Chinese – to your phone, go to this page on sibling blog Beijing Boyce (I will have this feature on Grape Wall next week). Also, I will keep an updated list of wine events on this page. Finally, it is always best to confirm details of a tasting ahead of time – if there is one constant in Beijing, it is change.
