LeDomduVin: Wine and Dine Festival Hong Kong 2025

Wine and Dine Festival Hong Kong 2025

After today's tasting at @asiaratings, later on in the evening, I went to the Wine and Dine Festival (@wineanddinefestivalhk). It was packed. Great ambiance and atmosphere. It's always a pleasure to come back every year. It's also a good occasion to catch up with some friends, sommeliers, importers, distributors, and other people from the wine industry. 

I visited a few booths, tasted a few wines, and chatted with a few people I know, including Yohann Jousselin MS (@yohannjousselinms), Head of Fine Wines at Kerry Wines (@kerrywines_hk) and my friend, Marco Ma (@marco.ma825), at House of Connoisseur (@house.of.connoisseur). Thank you both for your generosity. It was good to see you. 

I did not stay long. However, the W&D Festival lasts 4 days until Sunday, October 26th. So I might go back if I have the chance. I encourage you to go. It's fun and convivial. Good food and good wine, what else? 

Cheers! Santé! 

Dom,

Thank you to @sidpatelbtn and his team at @asiaratings and @okateankita for the tasting today. Like yesterday, it was fun and eye-opening, well organized, and more relaxed as we had fewer wines to taste. Kudos to you all! Loved it! Thank you for the opportunity and for allowing me to participate.
