This afternoon, I visited the Taorantian Club on Taoranting Park in the south of Beijing near the Tiantan Temple. With a collection of art, wine cellars, and a upper terrace with a lovely view over the lake, it is a stunning place for tastings, concerts and the like. The owners under the guidance of Guillaume Zhuang and Patrick Dong are serious about wine and assembling a selection of things not often seen here, like the 2008 Château de Lancyre from Pic Saint Loup or 2006 Clos de l'Escandril from Minervois La Livinière.
