It's been a while. . .
It has been quite a while since my last post.
I have had thoughts of just dropping the whole "wine blog" gig to be honest.
I mean, the wine market here in China can be less than wonderful. . . or is it?
While it has been my recent experience that there is very little diversity between what wine retailers offer here in Shanghai— unless you are looking for French wine— that is here in abundance, China does have a lot to offer for me.
China is a country that is just discovering how to make "decent" wine. . . even though the country has thousands of years of history. It also offers me more Bordeaux wine than I have ever seen in Michigan. Along with that, my opportunities to attend tastings of First and Second Growth Bordeaux here are more than I could hope for, along with a good number of Burgundy tastings just for fun.
I started the Wine Monologues as a diary of my wine experiences and for a while I lost sight of that purpose. Not any more. Please stay tuned as my Monologues will continue to give you an eye into the China wine market, my own personal tastings and experiences here, as well as my trip this summer to France.
Cheers!
