China in Dialogue: A Global Wine Conversation

Join us for an extraordinary flight-by-flight blind-tasting dinner that explores the evolving story of Chinese fine wine by placing it head-to-head with some of the world’s top wineries.

Expect to see some of the top names in Chinese wine from Yunnan, Hebei, Ningxia and Shandong, poured against renowned producers such as Almaviva, Lynch-Bages, Amici Cellars, and two 100-pointers: Catena White Bones Chardonnay and Solaia.

Hosted by JamesSuckling.com Senior Editor Zekun Shuai, each flight features two wines – one from China and one from a celebrated international estate. All wines will be served blind, including many cabernet sauvignons and Bordeaux blends from China and the world. Guests are invited to focus purely on what’s in the glass, free of labels or preconceptions, and discover how China’s finest expressions stand alongside great wines from Mendoza, Bordeaux, Napa, Chile and Tuscany.

Will China stand up to some of the best in the world? Join the dinner and find out!

本次晚宴旨在探索中國頂級葡萄酒的現狀，將其與世界上最著名的酒莊和標誌性酒款進行直接比較，其中包括智利Almaviva、美國納帕名莊Amici Cellars、波爾多波雅克經典Lynch-Bages，以及兩款滿分酒：阿根廷門多薩的Catena White Bones Chardonnay 和義大利超級托斯卡納Solaia。

本次晚宴將由JamesSuckling.com高級編輯帥澤堃（Zekun Shuai）主持。晚宴共設五道菜，每道菜均會以盲品形式為您呈獻兩款酒：一款頂級中國葡萄酒與其對應的世界級酒款，包括多款赤霞珠和波爾多品種混釀。我們誠邀來賓專注於杯中佳釀，不受酒標或預設觀念的影響，親自發掘中國最優秀的葡萄酒在門多薩、波爾多、納帕、智利和托斯卡納等著名產區的佳釀面前表現如何。

中國頂級佳釀的代表隊將由來自雲南、河北、寧夏和山東最重要產區的頂級葡萄酒組成。

中國精品葡萄酒能否與世界頂級佳釀一較高下？讓我們拭目以待！
