GREAT WINES OF ITALY
AT GRAND HYATT ERAWAN BANGKOK
JamesSuckling.com presents Great Wines of Italy in Bangkok, December 2 and 3, at the Grand Hyatt Erawan Bangkok. Many successful editions of the exhilarating wine tasting and dinner event have taken place in the last three years including Hong Kong, Shanghai and New York City, but for the first time, Great Wines of Italy is coming to Thailand’s dynamic capital.
The two-day trade and consumer event, sponsored by Cathay Pacific and Thailand Tatler, will showcase a handpicked selection of wines from Italy’s top producers, all of which were chosen by internationally acclaimed wine critic James Suckling and rated as being 90 points or more. Suckling is also the wine editor for Thailand Tatler as well as other Tatlers in Asia including Hong Kong, China, Macau, Singapore, Philippines, Taiwan, Malaysia, and Indonesia. A total of 55 wineries – including such prestigious names as Ornellaia, Bibi Graetz, Casanova di Neri, Antinori, Pio Cesare, Frescobaldi and more – will be pouring two wines each.
Set in the luxury environment of the Grand Hyatt Erawan Bangkok, Great Wines of Italy offers the unique opportunity to meet and dine with some of Italy’s best winemakers, as well as try many outstanding wines not available in Thailand. Top Super Tuscans, Brunellos, Barolos, Amarones and reds from Sicily amongst other wines will all be personally poured by their producers and representatives.
“Thailand may be the most dynamic wine market in Asia,” says Suckling. “The country is really focused on Italian wines too, which is why I wanted to have my event Great Wines of Italy here. It’s wonderful that we can give people a chance to experience some fascinating wines that they otherwise may never get to taste. And they get to taste them with many of the winemakers themselves.”
