Wine and Dine

WUHAI, China (REUTERS) - As spring warms the sands of the Gobi desert in China's vast Inner Mongolia region, it's not just the local camels who are happy to see the end of a long, cold winter.
Just a few hundred metres from towering sand dunes, workers unearth row upon row of grapevines buried under the sand to protect them from temperatures as low as -20 deg C.
These vines are helping fuel a booming Chinese wine industry that has grown by leaps and bounds in recent years, as the world's most populous nation grows wealthier and embraces foreign tastes.
Chateau Hansen, which first planted vineyards beside the Gobi in the early 1980s, says the hot, dry summer and plentiful water from the nearby Yellow River make the location among China's best for wine production.

Wine and Dine

A very Good red from Lalande de Pomerol;  It was better than the 2002 I drank in April.  It goes well with Teochew style steamed grouper and fried green vegetables:-).  Drink this wine between now and 2015.
