It was titled "Celebration 80, ode to joy" a tribute to a very unique person by some of the World's finest wines and their attending producers.
An amazing list of the who's who of wine producers but also for the happy few (still numbering about 350). A very special occasion of tasting in the presence of most vintners and some of their finest vintages. As if this was not enough, the tasting was tutored by the vintners themselves together with the expert comments of Serena Sutcliffe M.W. and husband David Peppercorn M.W.
Most important an ode to friendship and hospitality of Melina and NK YONG that will long be remembered by all the spoiled attendees.
A short photo gallery of three amazing days can be seen here.
