Must be the same name the only difference being one is Latin (French?) the other Spanish. Haven't seen the La Pleiade Shiraz in HK, but had another one of M. Chapoutier's Aussie offerings a little while ago. <br /><br />The wine is a bargain, but at the same time there's plenty of other good value wines in HK that make the Australian imports seem rather embarrassing. At my local supermarket Jacobs Creek is HK$88 (and De Bortoli 'Sacred Hill' a similar amount), yet there're plenty of good wines to be had from South Africa, Chilli and Argentine for less than $50.<br /><br />Cheers<br />AndrewAndrewhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05855162150273950842noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-590338995575781808.post-64437125947115167522010-06-11T10:16:52.400+08:002010-06-11T10:16:52.400+08:00Andrew,
