Wolf Blass Wine dinner
澳洲佳酿登陆厦门 禾富酒园邀宾品美酒

Quite a number of food connoisseurs consider it important to know how to select different wines for different dishes. Needless to say, it was a good opportunity for Xiamen locals to acquire such knowledge on the evening of March 5 when the Wolf Blass Wine appreciation dinner was held at the Golf Bar at the Crowne Plaza Hotel Xiamen.

The party's main speaker, Mr. Nick Tullett, regional manager for Beringer Blass Wine Estates Greater China, presented four famous Wolf Blass wines for the guests. Nick sees the developing China wine market as one of the most important highlights in his career so far. Xiamen was their first stop in China to present the wines in 2004.

Wolf Blass wines, established in the Barossa Valley in 1966, have won Australia's most coveted trophy, the Jimmy Watson, an unprecedented four times. Wolf Blass wines have a tradition of quality, character and consistency from the majestic and complex flagship, Black Label through to their delicate, floral Rieslings.

The Italian Chef Pippo from the Crowne Plaza Hotel Xiamen matched his delicate cuisine to the wine, adding to the power and complexity of each bottle.

Most participants were foreigners working in Xiamen. Mr. Eric Qin, Senior Sales Manager of Shanghai Saint Pierre Wine Co., Ltd., one major member of the party, exclaimed with a little regret, “I was hoping more Chinese could join us to experience such a wonderful combination of wine and cuisine tonight.” He expressed his sincere wishes to visit Xiamen again with more world-wide famous wines in the near future.
