Because wine is for everyone…
Globetrotting winemaker Eddie McDougall lends a dash of fun to Lan Kwai Fong's wine scene with The Flying Winemaker, a wine-store-cum-tasting-lab that’s become a meeting place for wine enthusiasts to simply hang out and talk wine. From wine-tastings with plastic cups, to sourcing unknown Cabernets from Lebanon and afar, Eddie’s focus is on judging wines on merit alone without the shackles of elitism traditionally associated with this great drink.
Defying the image of your stereotypical wine expert, with a dressed-down, almost rogue approach to his quest of making wines more fun and accessible to everyone, Eddie will give you invaluable knowledge to purchase, taste and order wine with confidence.
For HK$680, you’ll enjoy TWO tickets to WineSkool Executive, so you can boost your confidence at that next power lunch. Learn how wine flows from the vine to the dinner table, how to distinguish a good wine from a bad one, and how to begin investing in your own private wine collection. “WineSkool is an interactive education that takes the snobbery out of wine and actually gives you real life knowledge and skills, ” says Eddie.
