For what its worth, I’ve got a suggestion:

Great Wall Wines has ONE vineyard that I’ve found rather pleasant: ChangChengZhuangYuan é•¿åŸŽåº„åœ†ã€‚

I’ve found ’96,’97 and ’98 bottles of Merlot-Cabernet Sauvignon blend, I’d skip the ’96 and head to the ’97 and ’98, both of which should be around 60 yuan. Its a blue-top and a rather unassuming label with a circular wine barrel logo indicating the Merot-Cab Mixture.

I personally favor the ’98 – more “Merlot-ey” versus the more Cab-like 1997.

I find them at ItoYokado in XiZhiMen.

I am very excited about changes in China, so much that I would eventually like to visit. Already I am a fan of many Chinese teas, especially from the Wu Yi mountain region â€¦ and elsewhere. May years ago I tried Chinese beer and liked it right away and have ordered it many times since. Now I hear that China is getting into wine, along with many other regions. This too is a great thing and I expect that China will make its own unique contribution to the worldâ€s enological treasures. I can hardly wait to try my first genuine Chinese wine of distinction !
