cost: 1000 plus tax per person

I came to know about the event through the invitation from American Express and was really happy to attend as we were told that there will be an opporunity to tast over 26 wine. (Woow that was a lot of wine to tast and we were able to sample about 10 to 15 glasses of wine)

There were over 150 attendees and most of them are Hyatt club members! It was an open free style (with no seat) type of format where attendees take on food on the plate with a glass holder then off they went onto 3 different wine boothes supported by wine trading/stores in Taiwan.

Around in mid of the event, the organizer annouced 12 lucky winners from the business card draw when we submitted for "blind wine tasting"! Good thing is that regardless how you do, you will get an gift either way.

Guess what, I was one of the 12 lucky ones and actually guess ALL of the 3 wines right! (I was really happy that I can actually tast the different types of grapes as we all sampled 3 different white wines)

More drinking, by around 9:00 pm, people started to leave and as the wine representative also begun to rape up.

Overall, it was a well organized event! It was definately a great experience to tast different types of wine and a chance to talk to the seller to learn more and compare.
