Contributors and Tasting Teams

Imagine the rich aroma of a newly opened bottle, where the scent of ripe berries mingles with a hint of oak, inviting you into a world of stories and flavours.

 

I remember one evening in Burgundy, standing amidst the vineyards as the sun set. I opened a Cru bottle of Pinot Noir, known for its complexity. As I took the first sip, I was overwhelmed by the harmony of flavours, each one telling a story of the soil, the season, and the careful hands that crafted it. This experience sparked my passion for wine, paving the way for a journey into the intricate world of aromas and terroirs. At the helm of these narratives, I, Kevin K, serve as the Editor and am a student of Business, History, and Wine. I am a member of the Royal Historical Society, AIWS, AWRI, WWCC, and HKWS. In addition, I am an active regional merchant and a full-time wine taster.

 

The blog features two distinct tasting teams, each composed of dedicated wine enthusiasts who share similar perspectives on both wine and life.

 

Team Fatloong G explores wine through the lens of culture, history, and philosophy, offering profound insights into the narratives that wines carry. On the other hand, Team Quatjin K thrives on diversity and the fusion of disciplines, bringing together literature, finance, technology, and wellness to provide a multifaceted approach to wine appreciation. Both teams are committed to valuing terroir-driven authenticity and exploring the unique stories captured in each bottle. Their shared tasting philosophy emphasises the importance of tradition and innovation, fostering trust in their insights and reviews.

 

Team Fatloong G is led by Keith K, a former lifestyle magazine editor, experienced wine columnist, and full-time writer specialising in wine and philosophy. Keith's unique perspective on wine through a philosophical lens will offer readers deep insights into the historical and cultural narratives that wines embody. The team includes Michael S, a former professor of Medicine and a specialist in Champagne and Cognac, whose expertise will guide future posts on the nuances of sparkling wines and the art of Cognac appreciation. Mai L, a student of Music and Drama, contributes her artistic sensibilities, bringing a fresh, creative perspective to the team's tasting experiences.

 

Team Quatjin K is coordinated by Jacqueline SS, a wine judge, yoga master, and former model. The team consists of Joanne C, a literature graduate; Stephen S, a retired insurance executive; Peter C, a retired financier; Elton L, who holds a PhD in Artificial Intelligence; and Alan C, an experienced spirit and wine merchant.
