In the Spring of 1996 I was honored to be part of the first US Wine Delegation to China since 1949. In Yantai we visited the oldest commercial winery in China, and were the first US delegation there since 1914.

It was in a word - Great!

The food was great, the people were great, and the changes were happening as we watched! A free market economy to reckon with is on its way.
