(Hong Kong – May 2009) For the first time in town and for one night only! The Langham, Hong Kong, ASC Fine Wines and Ginestet jointly present the exclusive “You are the winemaker” event, a unique, hands-on wine-blending workshop and dinner to be held on 22 May (Friday) at The Bostonian, for those who wish to unwind with fine wine and delicate food in relaxing, elegant surroundings.

The evening will begin with a one-hour interactive training session on the art of wine-blending with Thibaut Delpech, Ginestet Asia Brand Ambassador, who will guide you through the process and major techniques of blending a Bordeaux-style wine. Working in small teams, you will have the opportunity to taste the five principal blending varieties as well as the ultimate blend – Mascaron Par Ginestet – the wine that you’ll be trying to re-create. Light canapés will be served during the tasting to whet your appetite and enhance the flavours of the wines. Experience for yourself the thrill and excitement of wine-making by re-creating the Mascaron par Ginestet wine in blends that most please your palate. All blends will be judged by Ginestet Asia Brand Ambassador, Thibaut Delpech, and the team who successfully strikes the magic formula will be presented a prize of a bottle of Mascaron Par Ginestet Bordeaux Rouge AOC for each team member.

The wine experience will continue as you enjoy a special dinner menu in semi-buffet style prepared by Executive Chef Mark Bannon with premium steak and sublime seafood, complemented by free flow of Mascaron Bordeaux White and Mascaron Bordeaux Red, in surroundings enhanced by imaginative artwork from the newest Chinese artists at The Bostonian restaurant.
