At last, China has arrived.

I come from the time when war and starvation was my lot as a child. For this I knew how the Chinese starved and suffered under the heel of that infamous lothario of a fruit cake, Mao Ze-dong.

Today, 2014 this top sommelier exists, functions and earns some CNY 250,000.00:

For this, I can only smile and conclude:

At last China has arrived.

And when you visit Beijing, Shanghai or Guangzhou, you can be without any anxiety because there will be a top French trained world class sommelier to help with your tippling problems and about the choices they have, including Chinese vino.

You cultural requirements and needs will be met.

Unless you are a Mohamadan - then vino das verboten.
