If you haven’t heard, critic Robert Parker will return to Beijing and Shanghai next month, following up on an inaugural 2008 journey likened by one distributor as the wine equivalent of the 1972 visit by U.S. President Richard Nixon. I posted details here about the slate of events, and they do not come cheap, with dinner prices topping USD1000 / RMB6000.
But if you plan to buy Yquem 1996, Cheval Blanc 2000 or Ausone 2005, you might be interested in this promotion by ASC, the official wine importer for the Beijing and Shanghai stops on Parker’s “Grand World Tour“. Buying enough of those three wines or any of the 28 listed below translates into freebies: spend over rmb30,000 and get a masterclass ticket, over rmb50,000 and get two masterclass or a gala dinner ticket, and over rmb80,000 and get two gala dinner tickets.
