(7th March, 2014).-The first phase of the world-tour launched this year to celebrate ten years of The Berlin Tasting had a grand finale this evening, with a Black-Tie Gala Dinner in Hong Kong, co-hosted by Mr. Eduardo Chadwick, President of Viña Errázuriz and Viña Seña, accompanied by English wine-legend, Steven Spurrier, Consultant Editor to Decanter Magazine and Chairman of the Decanter World Wine Awards, and Jeannie Cho Lee, first Asian Master of Wine.

A high point of the evening carried out at the Island Shangri-La Hotel, was the presentation of the commemorative Berlin Tasting Anniversary Book, a specially edited volume that tells the story of this blind tasting initiative that toured over 15 nations during the last decade and established Chile’s place amongst the world’s greatest appellations, with pictures and testimonials, in a beautiful luxury format. This gift-book was handed to every attendee as a memento of this milestone, which all three hosts were happy to autograph and dedicate when finalizing the event.   

Around 80 key Asian opinion leaders, wine writers, sommeliers and fine wine buyers enjoyed this special 4-course dinner, paired with different vintages of the wines that participated in legendary Berlin Tastings around the world, including La Cumbre 2001, KAI 2006, Seña 1995 and 2011, Don Maximiano Founder’s Reserve 1989 and 2011, and Viñedo Chadwick 2000, the wine that was elected in the first place of the panelists’ preferences at the original Berlin Tasting of 2004 and thus established that event as a milestone in the history of Chilean wine.
