    Any wine tasting stores like Vintage in NYC?

    Hi there,

    Is there a 'wine-tasting' place locally that is akin to Vintage in NYC?

    Whereby you can buy wine from Vintage, but it's unique selling point is you pay a small fee to try 5 wines (generous helpings too, might I add!) off from 3 wine lists (i.e. fortified,sparkling,dessert vs. red vs. white), plus it has a small restaurant devoted to pairing small food portions (vs. normal sized) with wine. Best of all, the tasting fee can be offset against any purchases of wine from their store.

    Please let me know if there is anywhere like that in HK, and where I can find it.

    Cheers!

    There's a place called Tastings, which is just off Wellington street. They have a whole bunch of wines and you buy either a taste, a half-glass or whole glass of wine.

    It's not quite the same as what you've described, but might be a start.

    Also, places like Yartex (sp?) Wine on Cochrane street do free tastings every Friday at 6pm I believe.

    cellarmaster wines have wine tasting every Friday, the location maybe a little out of the way, though.
