CHINESE BAIJIU 白酒
The history of China is also the history of Baijiu. Through the last few thousand years in China, Baijiu has been a constant presence,
representing the finer aspects of life. In earlier times, Baijiu was part of the realm of royalty and scholars, brought out to toast family
events, to celebrate victory and to accompany spirited conversation.
Now, Baijiu is enjoyed by everyone, and has become an integral of Chinese culture. For Chinese everywhere, Baijiu is a symbol of
friendship, mutual respect and celebration.
Shui Jing Fang 水井坊 52%Shui Jing Fang 水井坊 38%Brewed from the award winning, oldest distillery in China, this baijin exudes a distinctive sour plum nose with a lingering and rounded fruity aroma. The initial taste is sharp and warming, followed by a complex bitter sweetness and ending with a lasting pure and minty after-taste.
On the interior surface of the bottom of the bottle are six intricate paintings of scenic spots in Chengdu: the Wu Hou Shrine, Du Fu Thatched Cottage, Jiuyan Bridge, Hejiang Pavilion, Wangjiang Tower and the Shui Jing Distillery. The paintings are viewed through the liquid itself evoking the 600 years of cultural heritage that have created this exquisite spirit.

CHINESE HUANGJIU 黄酒
Nu Er Hong 20 yrs 二十年女儿红
Pagoda 30 yrs 三十年塔牌邵兴
Nu Er Hong 10 yrs 十二年女儿红
Recheers Shao Hsing 丽春邵兴
The name “Nu Er Hong” literally means “Daughter’s Wine”. Wine is brewed in celebration of the baby girl’s birth, stored underground until the girl gets married 16-18yrs later. This drink is celebrated for its exquisite and mellow flavours.
Shao Hsing wine is the the most traditional Chinese banquet beverage, a famous rice- derived wine of Zhejiang province. It has more than 2400 years of history. Today, Shao Hsing wine is still produced using the traditional method of natural fermentation and storage.
Don’t be fooled by its name. Yellow Wine is not really yellow. Huangjiu (literally “yellow wine” or “yellow liquor”) is a type of Chinese alcoholic beverage brewed directly from grains such
as rice, millet, or wheat and is often used as a kind of Chinese traditional medicine. Unlike baijiu, such liquors are not distilled, and contain less than 20% alcohol, due to the
inhibition of fermentation by ethanol at that concentration. These wines are traditionally pasteurized, aged,
and filtered before their final bottling.
Mou Tai 茅台Moutai Bai Jiu is proudly renowned as the national drink of China. Brewed in the same region for over two millennia, Moutai Bai Jiu contains only the natural growing sorghum of the local valleys and water from the Chishui River. Brewing the liquor is never rushed therefore, quality is never compromised. The unique climate of this region along with the stringent production has created liquor with an exotic flavor, rich with a magical aroma that has been enjoyed for centuries.

A special blend made for Czar Alexander II and his family over a century ago and the de facto bubbly of the Hollywood Celebrity fraternity, Cristal’s annual production allocation accounts for just 6% of global top Champagne production. Drink up – there aren’t many left of this vintage.
The House of Salon only produces one champagne; the rare vintage tête de cuvée blanc de blancs from a single Grand Cru vineyard. Since 1911, Salon vintages have been declared no more than four times a decade. This is the 36th vintage. —Jancis Robinson, 18/20

It is a Champagne that demands serious attention. The 2000 will test the limits of what readers expect from a Dom Perignon Rosé, but the wine is simply marvelous. I loved it. —The Wine Advocate, 96 points
A real Champagne lover's Champagne. One of the oldest Champagne houses, Jacquesson was a favourite of Napoleon Bonaparte, who picked it as the bubbly poured at his wedding.

A wine of great finesse, distinguished and elegant. The colour is pure and bright, with light glints of white gold. The aromas evoke trees in bloom and white flesh fruit, like white peaches. With age, the aromas evolve towards almond and lightly grilled dried fruit. On the palate, there is a sensation of fresh silkiness. Long and persistent in the aftertaste, ending on an exceptional wealth of flavors, both floral and fruity. —Véronique Boss-Drouhin

Isole e Olena Vin Santo is considered by almost every producer in Tuscany to be the best example. Paolo Marchi, winemaker, has said on a number of occassions “If I catch anyone dipping cantucci/cantuccini into my Vin Santo I will strangle them...It takes too much work to make Vin Santo and after all this people dip a cookie in it!” Made from dried grapes.
Sweet Muscat style. This award-winning wine has a fruity, bright, sweet with appealing grapey fruit and nice balance.
*Vinitaly 2010 Gold Medal*International Wine Challenge 2010 Silver Medal
*Decanter 2011 Commended*Intl’ Wine & Spirit Competition’11 Silver Medal
This is a sweet wine made from muscat a petit grains that would be lovely with fruit-based desserts. Aromas of stone fruits, honey, ginger spice and citrus peel adorn the nose, whilst the palate is surprising light with a good balance of sweetness and acidity, honey and citrus flavours, and a nice cascade of acidity cleaning up the finish.

Haven't you heard? Top producers in Burgundy, such as Louis Latour and Vincent Girardin, are snapping up
vineyards in Beaujolais. It's the next hotspot for quality (and still affordable) wines. Long live the Gamay grape.

A distinctly earthy blend of pure red berry liqueur aromas trimmed in discreet wood introduces rich and relatively full-bodied flavors that possess excellent punch and precision, all wrapped in a balanced and impressively persistent finish. In sum, this is a classic Charmes. —Allen Meadows (Burghound), 91-94 points
The 2009 Beaune Clos des Mouches is totally beautiful. It shows gorgeous inner perfume and a weightless, gracious personality. —The Wine Advocate, 93 points
FRANCE
We love our Pinot Noir (who doesn’t these days?) but we humbly deferred to the Burghounds in our
circle for wineries worthy for this list.
Soft wood sets off the red and black currant suffused aromas that in-troduce notably finer middle weight flavors that possess a beguiling texture before culminating in a lightly mineral-inflected, clean, bal-anced and solidly persistent finish. This Chambolle villages is both ripe and very pretty.

One of the rising stars in Burgundy to watch out for, according to our Burghound sources.
Wine of the vintage. Majestic perfume of black and red fruits inter-twined with floral, sandy soil and lavender notes. This astonishingly rich, naked wine (aged in old foudres) should age effortlessly for 10-15 years. —Robert Parker, 93-95 points
Black cherries, violets, iris and fennel fill the nose, then re-emerge on a creamy palate, with richly ripe fruits flavours. Rich and polished, with marrow-liked savoury meatiness.
The area of Pic Saint-Loup in Southern France (Loup means wolf in French) is dominated by a 658m tall mountain from which it takes its name.

The blend is Cabernet Sauvignon dominant at 74%, with 21% Merlot and 5% Cabernet Franc.

Result of four generations of Cellar Masters, LOUIS XIII is a unique blend of 1,200 eaux-de-vie from 40 to 100 year old. A closely guarded secret since 1874. The eaux-de-vie composing LOUIS XIII came from the prestigious Grande Champagne growth, a collection of the rarest, century-old casks made from Limousin oak.

distilleries made available for our guests.

sugarcane to the Caribbean islands in 1493, and for pioneering the creation of rum.

The first and unique ‘Grand Cru’ water from Bordeaux, one of the purest and healthiest mineral resources in the world.
Surrounded by the largest classed forest in Europe, extremely pure and naturally thermal, the superior natural mineral water from Bordeaux discovered in 1923 benefits from low mineralization and zero ni-trates for daily health benefits and constant pleasure.
This “Grand Cru” comes from the oldest mountains to the deepest water source in France, drawn at 472 meters into the ground. Here are the secrets of its benefits: protected from any pollution, slowly filtered through several layers of sandstone, limestone and clay aquifers, the water is brought naturally straight to the bottling facility, conserving its purity.

COCKTAILS 鸡尾酒
Our cocktails are inspired by the 4 seasons.
Spring 春
Summer 夏
A smooth bittersweet original concoction consisting of Chinese Huangjiu and lychee liqueur topped off with lemonade. Just like the season, Spring is a celebration of all things bubbly, fresh and bright.
A playful concoction of imported Yuzu sake, premium gin, and soda. Summer is sophisticated yet oozes informal fun. Definitely a drink to bring on the smiles.
A dark elegant blend of ginseng wine, rum, and calamansi. Autumn is served cold in a martini glass and has smooth dark notes that make it an ideal pre-dinner refreshment.
A mellow concoction of 水井方白酒 Shui Jing Fang Baijiu, coffee liqueur, and baileys with peppermint. Winter is the definitive after dinner refreshment that is warm, fuzzy and creamy.
