But there are a host of unexpected, up-and-coming regions across the continent, where you can sample vintages often paired with epic […]
(Star Wine List) A champion of sustainability and an award-winning restaurant, it makes perfect sense that Bangkok’s Haoma led the pack to win three stars at Star Wine List’s Asia awards, including the coveted Grand Prix for best overall list.
