Wine Culture in Hong Kong

30 some odd years ago, I visited Hong Kong for a brief 24 hours, enroute San Francisco, my previous home, to Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, to where I was moving. I knew at the time, that I was doing the fascinating Chinese harbour city an injustice to spend so little time there, but I was in a hurry to get to Malaysia, and presumed, that as I was planning to live in Asia, I would soon have the chance to return for a more thorough visit. How quickly 30 years flies by!

And during those 30 years,  Hong Kong with it’s 6.9 million people, has just kept growing skywards,  dispelling fears that the British handing over to China in 1997 would threaten it’s prosperity.

Cliff See (fotos below), of Appellation/ Wine Culture Ltd. has been selling our wines in Hong Kong since 2001, where they are listed in such prestigious venues as the Club Lusitano, The China Club and the Hong Kong Bankers Club, amongst others.

Cliff and I had a chuckle to learn that we share the same Alma Mater, UC Berkeley, and we calculated that we must have been on the campus during the same era (the hippie seventies!).
