Just You!

Wine for Asia 2008
As part of this international exhibition hosting many exhibitors from the various wine producing countries, I was glad that I was part of this event as a photographer for jiuwine.com, an online community of wine lovers. Getting to network and talk to people from all over the world was certainly a great experience. Through this exhibition/trade show, I enjoyed wines from Italy, Austria, and some Bordeaux.
Being able to walk around freely, not having to pay, getting a press pass, being able to enjoy VIP treatment, was just totally cool, and I must say a really great experience for me.
And certainly, I was glad to be invited to a German Wine and Food Dinner held at Marina Mandarin. How would German wine taste with chinese cuisine? Certainly great! Can you imagine yourself having to try like 17 wines at a 8 course dinner? Certainly enjoyed the various types of Rieslings the Germans are famous for, the Muskatellers were great too. And for the final dessert wine of Huxelrebe Beerenauslese, it was just awesome, something similar to Eiswein. Felt so 'wasted' after the entire thing. Good thing I still managed to take a bus home.
Just look at the number of glasses there are on the table. It's as if we had a party for over 50. FYI, each person used an average on 17 glasses.Overall, I had a great experience with the wines and with the people I met. Certainly learnt more about German wines, Italian wines, and Austrian wines. (I apologise if you do not understand those wine terms. =D)
