"I hope my tasting skills and experience may help the judging panel, hence benefit wineries and end-users.”
“I think the HK IWSC sets the benchmark and provides diversity to the wine industry. I believe it also creates a platform to promote lesser-known wines to the public."
I look forward to associating with worldwide wine experts, promoting Hong Kong as the ultimate wine lover’s city to all.”"
