Update: Grape Wall of China

Apologies all around for the light posting of late – with the Olympics around the corner, I’ve been tied up with my Beijing nightlife blog, but there is plenty of material in the pipeline, including posts on:

• The wine bars and Chinese wines to try for those in Beijing for the Olympics
• The “Berlin tasting” led by Stephen Spurrier in Beijing last month
• About a dozen tastings
• A half-dozen talks with wine personalities in and out of China
• A long-overdue post about the International Congress on Chinese Cuisine & Wine held in Beijing
• The dissonance between English and Chinese wine terminolog
• The introduction of several new contributors to the blog

Time will be tight over the next few weeks, but I’ll do my best to get up as much information as possible.
