Letters from the Editor 如果有一天⋯⋯ 開始喝葡萄酒是因為好奇，喜歡葡萄酒是因為她的萬千變化，氣泡 酒、白葡萄酒、紅葡萄酒、粉紅玫瑰酒、加烈酒、烈酒，總是多姿多 彩，就算是同一種類的酒，在不同產區，以不同的葡萄品種釀造，也 可以得出很不一樣的風味。最有趣的更加是，在相隔一條馬路的葡萄 園，同一品種，同一位釀酒師所釀出來的酒釀，也可以有著非常不同 的香氣。我想世上沒有比葡萄酒更有趣的飲料了。 隨著工作的轉變，埋首於葡萄酒的時間變得更加多，真正由愛好變成 職業，可以每天品嚐不同的葡萄酒，到訪不同的產酒區，跟前輩學 習，跟莊主、釀酒師請教。所體驗到的不單是葡萄種植或釀酒的過 程，還有對葡萄酒的熱情，一切的處理方法、決定都是因為這份熱愛 而把專注、精神都投入其中，偉大的葡萄酒便是這樣釀成的。我想釀酒師都把自己的靈魂傾注到葡萄酒當中，為的是讓大家對葡萄酒一試傾心。 最近跟朋友把酒談歡的時間，聊到如果有一天對葡萄酒失去興趣的話，可以怎樣？我會反過來問，是什麼原因讓你失去對葡萄酒的興趣呢？「可能是 不想酒醉吧！？」當然酒醉醒來固然不好受，也可能因醉酒而「斷片」，不知道自己幹了什麼好事。「喝酒讓人軟弱？」軟弱的是人本身吧，跟酒沒 關係的。可能對我來說，酒更能讓我精神加倍呢！還好，我仍然沒有這種想法，我仍然喜歡探尋葡萄酒的世界，也不介意被稱為「劉伶」，我確信世 上的好酒，都會讓人喜愛。我們也不是在鼓吹大家喝得太多，始終「酒能穿腸」，但少量的酒也會讓人愉快。我也希望更多人喜愛葡萄酒，讓大家更 懂得欣賞這些由人類數千年文化濃縮而成的飲料。 從上一期開始我們多了一個名為Cru Favourites的欄目，那些便是我們 親自品嚐過而又喜歡的酒釀，有好東西當然要跟大家分享，我常說不 要一個人喝悶酒，一班人喝酒才是王道，有興趣的話也可跟我們分享 你遇上的至愛。

Synchro Synchro is the synchronized alternative pen-name of a well-known local published writer. The use of this name is, not unlike Les Forts is to Latour and Carruades to Lafite, to cultivate younger vines for a fresher approach to produce an output specifically of subjective reviews of hotels, cruise ships, food, and wine, in different new-found terriors. Thus Synchro is unemployed of his own choice, and travels the world with all his disposable time, and his travel stories are to be read here.

Timeless Bubbles OF Champagne Bollinger
歲 月 留 光 Text : Eddie Chui
In the past, people and the champagne houses did not think of ageing champagnes for more than 10 years, not to mention ageing for a few decades. Everyone was fascinating about the lively bubbles, refreshing fruitiness and glamorous bubbles and aroma. Nowadays people fancy more about ageing champagne of exceptional quality, which will let them develop more attractive and unique characters like the great Bordeaux or Bourgogne after ageing in cellars for decades. They will turn into splendid bubbles of all time. Champagne Bollinger, which has been working closely with Jebsen Fine Wines for more than 20 years, produce a wide range of champagne. Besides the popular Special Cuvée, they also make great vintage champagne, the Grande Année at the best years. R.D. is another expression of Grande Année, which means Récemment Dégorgé, or Recently Disgorged. These bottles have been aged on lees in the bottles for at least 8 years similar to those named “late disgorged” or “Oenothèque”. These extra years of ageing on lees will help to develop more flavour in the champagne, and beome more mature at the release. Recently they are releasing the Limited R.D. 2000 only in Jeroboam ( 3L format) with a total of 350 bottles globally, each Jeroboam comes with its own unique number, togehter with a wooden case with engraved numbered brass plate. It is made with 63% Pinot Noir and 76% of grapes are sourced from 16 grand cru vineyards in Champagne. The Jeroboam is ideal for further ageing of champagne comparing to single bottle. Althrough R.D. is ready to drink when it is released, further ageing in bottle will help to develop more unique characters. With the huge ageing potential of this millennium release, even if it is found in a shipwreck after another century, for sure it will last! 以前不論飲家還是釀造香檳的酒莊，都沒有想過把香檳陳年十載，甚至數十載才享用。大家都只陶醉在華麗 纖細的氣泡、清爽誘人的果香、口感當中。但是現在更多的人喜愛把高質數的香檳陳年，因為在歲月中這些 頂級氣泡酒都會醞釀成更美味的佳釀，就像優秀的波爾多或勃艮第一樣，經過數十載仍能散發著高貴而優雅 的黃金色氣泡。 自從捷成洋酒成立以來便合作至今共二十多年的Champagne Bollinger ，一直以來除了代表作Special
Cuvée以外，還釀造年份香檳Grande Année，而R.D.更是Grande Année的延續，由1961年已開始釀 造。R.D.是Récemment Dégorgé的簡寫，意即Recently Disgorged最近除渣的意思。這代表香檳在瓶內 花了最少八年的時間，跟酒渣一起在瓶內醞釀。跟其他香檳莊所謂Late Disgorged、Oenothèque的意思一 樣。這樣的陳釀能為氣泡增加更多的風味，把酒質推向巔峰。 最近Bollinger便推出了限量版的R.D. 2000年Jeroboam（三公升版）。全球只有350瓶，而且不會推出單 瓶版。每瓶Jeroboam都有獨立編號，以高貴的木盒盛載，上面更鑲上刻有編號的銅牌。她以Pinot Noir為 主（63%），其中超過七成的葡萄更是由十六塊特級田當中採收。Jeroboam版比起單瓶裝更能保存酒釀， 以作進一步陳年，因為R.D.在推出後除了可以即時享用，更擁有非凡的陳年潛力，就算沉到大海裡超過一百 年，也難不到這世紀珍釀。

Usually male characters from the novels of Yi Shu were charming - like Ka Ming and Chung Shun- and when we began our chat Alex was as cool as he had ever been on the big screen. But when we talked about lifestyle and wine he became more much warmer and intimate; much like a glass of wine on a cold winter’s night. 方中信，也就是亦舒小說《朝花夕拾》中的男主角。亦舒的小說男主角大多性格鮮明，印象都是開朗的， 家明如是，中信也一樣。開始拍攝時還是一貫大銀幕常見的瀟灑、俊逸。談吐溫文、不經意的流露超酷的 神態。但談到酒、談到生活，卻是那麼平淡親切，就像是一杯醇厚的酒釀一般。

Bubbles Spinning Out Of The Spanish Cave 走出洞底的西班牙氣泡 Text: Eddie Chui // Images: Alvin Luk // Special Thanks: Hip Cellar
When you are visiting all the great churches of Barcelona, there are also Tapas bars around the city. When you see people enjoying the delicious oysters, they are having Chablis nor Champagnes, but Cava, the local sparkling wine. It is the most popular wines around the city, as they are produced in this Catalonia region. 西班牙巴塞隆拿除了美麗的教堂外，還有不少Tapas吧，當大家享用著那些鮮美的生蠔時，喝的不 是Chablis，也不是香檳，而是地道的Cava，基本上大街小巷都隨處可見，因為這裡便是Cava的 根據地。

Conclusion With this Cava tasting, all panelists are definitely impressed. Using the same traditional method, cavas are good rivals for champagnes, with attractive aroma and palate. Brut and Brut Nature are the dominant types which show good balance, less prominent acidity and bitterness. Like many Spanish wines, Reserva cava means more ageing in the cellar, to let the wine develops more aroma and taste. The samples we had are mainly Reserva grade, showing the best of cavas. Interestingly the top two are both Brut Nature, meaning very low sugar level in the dosage. When we are tasting champagnes, the brut nature wines sometimes show imbalance, showing a bit more spiciness. When we are more familiar with sparkling wines made from Pinot Noir and Chardonnay, but the top 3 cavas are all made with local grape varieties. Most Cava are ready to drink and is the best companion with seafood, including seafood platters or dishes cooked with creamy sauces. If you want something more than a cheap champagne, these incredible bubbles will be good choices. 經過這一次的品評，大家都對Cava為之大開眼界。因為以香檳方法釀造的Cava在各方面都能夠與香檳比拼，而且在價格上絕 對有一定的優勢。而大部份都有不錯的香氣，倒在杯中已經甚為吸引。而在選購Cava 時，大多都以Brut或Brut Nature為主，雖 然甜度低，但往往都表現平衡，不會出現過酸或過於苦澀的問題。 跟很多西班牙酒一樣，Reserva酒款代表更長的熟成時間，這樣酒體能在瓶內發展出更多的香氣及味道。我們今次品嚐的大部 分都是Reserva級數，展現出Cava最好的一面。有趣的是，頭兩位的都同樣是Brut Nature，即是Dosage中含糖份最低的。我們 品評香檳的時候，都出現那些Brut Nature被認為過於辛口或欠缺平衡的情況，但Cava卻沒有這樣的問題。 當然大家對Pinot Noir及 Chardonnay 所釀造的氣泡酒可能會比較熟識，但這次的頭三位都是以本地原生葡萄釀造為主。而大部 分的 Cava 都可以即時開始享用，而最佳的配搭當然是海鮮食物，不論是海鮮拼盤還是以較濃醬汁烹調的食物都能配襯。下次 開派對的時候，不想喝平價的香檳，不妨試一試這來自西班牙的優秀氣泡酒。

Perfection to Excellence 人傑地靈 Text: Eddie Chui
When we are talking about great wine, we need 3 elements of climate, soil and human. Great wines are produced from great vineyards, viticulturists and winemakers. With the excellent climate and environment, great location of vineyards, great wines are made by great winemakers. In the Old World, estates have huge resources of history and experience from the past, but in the New World wine regions, great winemakers are also helping to make perfect clarets from new vineyards, like the Vidal Estate in New Zealand. 每每說到釀酒，我們都考慮到天、地、人這三大要素。擁有上佳的天然環 境，加上位置優異的地利，還有上佳的釀酒師，才可釀造出美味可口的葡 萄酒，舊世界的傳統及歷史留下的寶貴經驗固然可貴，但在新世界也可依 靠人的努力去創造成功。就像是新西蘭的Vidal Estate一樣。

The World of
Wines 酒迷奇遇記
Vidal的釀酒師Hugh Crichton本身是新西蘭人，他由一位酒迷，變成一位釀酒師，多少是 點緣份。在倫敦完成了工作的他，為了爭取留在歐洲的機會，便回到校園修讀葡萄酒釀造 課程，而成為一位釀酒師，他曾在多個不同地區的著名酒莊工作，例如：法國波爾多的
Château Soutard、意大利的Donnafugata、Central Otago的Chard Farm及Gisborne的 Millton Vineyards。為他帶來不同的工作體驗，及對有機葡萄種植的啟蒙。他於 2004加入 Vidal，由2006年開始成為釀酒師，他的目標是希望以有機的葡萄，釀造出更純正、豐厚的 優秀葡萄酒。
From wine lover to Winemaker Vidal’s winemaker Hugh Crichton is a wine lover who turns into winemaker by chance. When he finished his work in London, he went back to the college and studied winemaking because he likes wines very much, so that he could spend more time in Europe. He then worked in many famous wineries including Château Soutard in Bordeaux, Donnafugata in Italy, Chard Farm in Central Otago and Millton Vineyards in Gisborne. This broadened his working experience and gave him inspiration in organic winemaking. In 2004 he joined Vidal and became the winemaker in 2006, targeted to make wine in organic way, which he thinks would give the wine more purity, richness and round tannins. Vidal的酒款分為基本的White Series，高級的Reserve Series及最頂級，只在最好年份釀造的Legacy Series。我們跟Hugh一同品嚐了以下兩款頂級酒款： Vidal wines are classified into 3 series: the White Series, Rerserve Series and the top icon wines of Legacy Series which are only made in the best years. We tasted the following 2 top wines with Hugh:

Gem Almost Forgotten There are lots to discover in Berlin that makes it a city you can never leave, however, many may have forgotten there are in fact so much more around Berlin than the mentioned, especially in wine. There are wine regions such as Saale-Unstrut and Saxony which are both a stone’s throw away from Berlin that is so much worth visiting if you were in Berlin. Most wine connoisseurs would only easily think of the famous Mosel, Rheingau and Baden wine region which are located in the southern west side of Germany if one keen on discovering the German wineries. Visiting these wine regions would hardly bring you to Berlin if time is a concern as Berlin is indeed about 700 kilometres away. If you would like to go around Berlin and find some nearby wineries to visits at the same time, Saale-Unstrut and Sachsen are some of the most beautiful place to be.

most common white wine grapes are Riesling which by far, the most popular. Simple sniffing a Riesling is a great pleasure. Hints of apple, citrus, peach and apricot are the typicals. The purity of fruit aroma combined with a unique fruit acidity make it into one of the greatest grape varieties in the world; Muller-Thurgau, a relatively new grape crossed between Riesling and Madeleine Royale. It is uncomplicated, easily accessible with mild acidity, subtle fruit with a typical hint of muscat. Muller-Thurgau is the second most widely planted grape in Germany, and is seen as an alternative to Riesling, as it requires only 100 days to ripen, unlike Riesling’s later ripening of 130 days. The third most common is Silvaner, which is a rather old grape variety that is used to produce power dry wines, comes from a neutral cross between Traminer and Osterreichisch Weiss (literally Austrian white). The aroma often resembles flowers, melons, yellow plums and apples. With its delicate, earthy yet fruity tones and it’s easily digestible acid Silvaner makes an excellent food match with asparagus and fish. Red wine production only accounts for approximately 37% of vineyards in Germany. The most popular varieties of red wine grapes are Spatburgunder, and is certainly the finest in Germany. It only thrives in the best locations where it develops the complex characteristic cherry fruit aroma, subtle hind of smoke and almond and other fine fruit nuances, reminiscent of red berries. Growing Spatburgunder on nearly 12,000 hectares of vineyard, Germany is now the world’s third largest cultivating nations for Spatburgunder after France and the USA. While Germany’s Riesling enjoys huge success worldwide, this most significant red grape variety is still mainly a secret abroad, as the demand for Spatburgunder within Germany remains high it is still hardly exported at all. Dornfelder, a relative newcomer that is a recent crossbreed that is characterized by daily accessible aroma of cherry and berry fruit such as currants as well as warmth, gentle tannins and a deep dark red color wine; while Portugieser has mild tannins is the third most widely grown red grape in Germany, typical aromas are red currant, raspberry and strawberry.

A piece of Heaven - Saale-Unstrut The Saale-Unstrut wine region spread across three states: Saxony-Anhalt (604 hectares), Thuringia (54 hectares) and Brandenburg (7 hectares). Saale-Unstrut region is characterized by unspoiled countryside swathed in vineyards, steep terraces, centuries-old dry-stone walls, castles perching on hilltops and romantic vineyard huts. The beauty of the river valleys running through the old cultural landscape of terraced vineyards evokes an enchanting mediterranean charm. There are plenty of opportunity to relax and enjoy the wine along the Saale-Unstrut Wine Route with many delightful places serving wine by the bouquets and brooms hanging outside. For over 1000 years, vines have been cultivated here. It is home to more than 30 grape varieties, most of which are vinified to produce dry wines. At the top of the white wine list is Müller-Thurgau, followed by Weißburgunder(Pinot Blanc) and Silvaner. The relatively low yields give the wines a social finesse to it. The red wines (25 per cent) such as Portugieser, Blauer Zweigelt and Spatburgunder are full-bodied and fruity. Connoisseurs should try the wine locally as the exotic rare red such as Kernling and André rarely leave the region. Despite being the most northerly wine-growing region in Europe, it rivals Tuscany with around 1,430 hours of sunshine a year to ripen the grapes. Sustainable cultivation combined with careful, quality-conscious techniques used in the vineyards and cellars produce high-quality wines known for their softly structured, fruity bouquet and crisp character.
猶如天國的Saale-Unstrut
Saale-Unstrut產酒區橫跨三個省份：Saxony-Anhalt（604公頃） 、Thuringia（54公頃）及Brandenburg（7公頃）。這產區的葡萄園由田野包 圍著，大多數葡萄園座落在鈄坡上，加上上百年的圍牆，山丘上的古堡及浪漫 的小農舍。美麗的河流被兩岸山坡上的葡萄園所包圍，形成一幅動人的景致。 在參觀遊覽Saale-Unstrut酒區旅途中，有很多地方讓你休閒舒展一下，不少 精品酒莊也樂意為你送上美酒佳餚，讓你體會地道的葡萄酒文化。 葡萄在這裡種植已經有千年的歷史，包括多於30種的葡萄 品種，大部分都是用來釀造不甜的乾身酒釀。最有名的會是

Connoisseurs are not the only ones who will appreciate the sunny slopes of Germany’s wine regions. All the hills and river valleys hold great appeal for walkers and cyclists, too, if you are one who like nothing more than visiting the many delightful wine villages. Wineries in Germany are relatively small in scale especially compare to the enormous glamorous Chateau you would find in and still do most of their work by hand.

那日，我在公園席地而坐，呷著冰凍的Cava，吃著20歐元便能買到的頂級5J 黑毛豬火腿片，邊聽著全身穿著黑色的拉丁男人幽怨地彈奏著加泰隆尼亞結 他音樂，酒未飲到一半已被公園的氛圍薰醉了。作為建築師的高第去到這個境 界，建築物料、設計、概念都已經向他俯首稱臣，任他差遣。難怪，後世稱 頌高第是建築藝術界的但丁。我不禁想，是否他直接把自己的夢境打造出來？ 他的想像力及建築能力真是獨步天下，不敢說後無來者，但一定是前無古人。 站在浮於空中的平台上看腳下夢境中的樂園，令我想起一幅畫：梵高的 《星夜》。他們兩人看到的景像，與我們真的那麼不同嗎？
That day, I sat at the garden, drinking cold Cava and ate wonderful iberico ham with just 20 Euros. Listening to a all black Latin man playing misery Catalunian music, I was totally indulged by this garden. As an architect like Gaudi, manipulating any designs, materials and ideas, I now understand why people praise him as “Dante” in architecture. I wondered, if he was just making his dream into reality? His imagination and architect was so impressive that no man like him before. Standing on the mid-air platform, looking down the magic garden, reminds me a painting of Vincent Van gogh: the Starry Night. I wonder is it just so different between their eyes and our eyes?

HAJI Gallery presents Danny Yung Architecture is Theatre Exhibition 《榮念曾舞台如建築展》 Architecture is theatre or theatre is architecture? Danny Yung, celebrated his 70th year old birthday this year, threw an exhibition at Hong Kong Cultural Centre. Danny exhibited his works including original illustrations and creative notes at the exhibition from Nov 8 – Nov 27. Through these art works, one can truly be inspired by his innovative ideas.
It’s like walking a 30-year-journey with
Danny Yung during the show. Danny likes to ask questions a lot, and the questions always begin with the word “why”? You can ask yourself why and ask the world the same question, why are we asking questions like this, it’s because of our curiosity, and curiosity definitely inspires creativities. 究竟是舞台如建築，還是建築像個舞台，一直活在藝術的榮念曾今年 70 大壽，他把自己的藝術生命搬上舞台，同時讓巨大舞台收於自己的生活 內。 11 月 8 號至 27 號於香港文化中心大堂，舉行個展。讓珍藏的手稿、創 作筆記公開，喜歡創作和藝術的人，可以從中找到三十多年來榮念曾實驗 概念的蛛絲馬跡，感受創作人好奇探索的精神。榮念曾是一位很喜歡發問 問題的人，他愛問：「點解？」點解是一個開始，向自己發問，也對世界 發問。點解，其實也是始於好奇心。

Vinturi Essential Wine Aerator Traditionally, decanters were used to expose wine to air. However, decanting is time-consuming, cumbersome, and inconvenient. Vinturi's patent pending design speeds up this process with ease and convenience. Perfect aeration in the time it takes to pour a glass.
