It’s always a date to look forward to - welcoming one the finest wine makers in Italy to Hong Kong. We were delighted to find out Andrea Franchetti was returning to our fair shores again as this, in my opinion, is one of the best dinners of the year given...

Corney & Barrow 是英國成立時間最長的獨立葡萄酒商之一，一家同時兼有二枚皇室授權勳章的葡萄酒公司。現今在倫敦、愛丁堡、諾森伯蘭郡、香港以及最近剛剛開拓的新加坡都設有辦事處。 除了提供日常飲用的葡萄酒外，我們也提供葡萄酒期貨買賣服務，這是一種葡萄酒還在木桶裡釀造的時候就可以購買的期貨投資服務，,讓客戶有機會可以在某一特別年份的葡萄酒裝瓶前就進行投資。本公司旗下在英國獨家的葡萄酒包括波爾多右岸的Château Pétrus，勃艮第著名的Domaine de la Romanée-Conti，Domaine Bonneau du Martray， Comte Georges de Vogüé and Clos de Tart等等，這些酒都是期貨交易，由於我們可以確保其來源出處完美無可挑剔，所以特別容易在二手市場上的易手。 如有任何查詢，請致電2537 3325 或電郵到hongkong@corneyandbarrow.com。 就以最近本公司在君悅酒店舉行Soldera 晚宴為例，榮得我們公司行政總裁Adam Brett-Smith主持，整個Drawing Room也充滿著陣陣酒香和歡樂的笑聲。 打頭陣的是Salon Brut Blanc de Blancs, Le Mesnil 1997(沙龍香檳) ，採用100%的Chardonnay(莎當利)白葡萄製做，即blanc de blancs的香檳。直至2006年， Salon只推出了37個年份香檳，每一個年份最多也只生產6萬瓶左右，成為香檳中最響亮的名牌。 1997沙龍香檳, 淡雅的黃色與緩緩升揚的細白泡沫，蘊藏在裡頭的礦石風味帶領著白花，洋梨與黃桃香氣從酒體中一一現形，摻了些迷人的吐司,餅乾和焦糖香，尾韻是帶有礦石味，完美的層次變化，如此複雜的特性唯有帝王香檳能夠展現得淋漓盡致。 同場有2002 和2006 Soldera 2006, 但安排了先喝2006年是明智之選! 主菜意大利雲吞混合了松露醬，加上Soldera 100% Sangiovese, IGT 2006誘人的成熟士多啤利、紅莓、山苺香味，單寧柔順得如絲一般輕滑，酸度及果味平衡得宜，實在很難想像可以做出如此出色的紅酒。 Soldera 一般要在酒莊7至8年時間陳年才入樽；待酒質完全成熟穩定後才出廠，因此每個年份Soldera均完整的保存該年份的特色。所以大部分的2006 Soldera 是剛剛才運貨。可惜上年12月初，Soldera的前僱員晚上偷偷地在酒窖破壞了10個2007-2012的年份酒桶，此新聞震驚全世界，Soldera也因而將Soldera...

We were delighted that Christian Moueix and his wife Cherise visited Edinburgh last week to attend a prestigious Corney & Barrow Château Trotanoy tasting and dinner held at The Royal College of Surgeons. It had been 47 years since Christian Moeuix last visited Scotland, 1966 was the year. ...

Around this time of year each year Peter Sisseck pops into the office to show the upcoming vintages of his wines as well as the last release. This was a really good tasting and one in which the questions flowed. As one colleague commented often winemakers say "tell me what...
