From Tuesday, June 3 to Monday, June 9, 2014, German Wine Princess Sabine Wagner was in China to promote German wine. She had a quite busy schedule: 2 inter-continental flights, 3 intra-China flights, 6 nights in China, 3 days in Beijing, 1 1/2 days in Shanghai, 1 day in Shenzhen and then another day in Shanghai.
In the last week of June, German Wine Princess Sabine Wagner will be in the US to promote German wine:
Announcement: A Royal Wine Visit - German Wine Princess Sabine Wagner in Virginia, Philadelphia and Washington DC in June 2014, US/Germany.
We overlapped in Beijing. I was in China because of the birthday of my daughter Cornelia Tremann, who lives with her husband Chris Tremann in Beijing. Cornelia is with UNDP and Chris with the American Diplomatic Service.

Reception by the German Ambassador to China, Michale Claus and his Wife Daniela Clau
In the evening of June 5, the German Ambassador to China, Michael Claus and his wife Daniela Claus, had a reception at their Residence, with German Wine Princess Sabine Wagner being the Guest of Honor. Wine Princess Sabine Wagner poured a selection of very interesting wines, from winemakers present at TopWine China 2014 as well as other German winemakers. Other guests included German winemakers that were in Beijing for the TopWine China 2014 trade show as well as journalists, retailers, importers and sommeliers from the local wine scene. Ex-Minister Rudolph Scharping – now consulting for Chinese companies – was in town and also attended the reception.
The reception at the German Embassy was part of the 2014 Riesling Weeks China, which took place from June 1 to 16, 2014. Targeted cities were Beijing, Shanghai, Shenzhen (which Wine Princess Sabine Wagner visited during her China Tour) and Qingdao, Changsha and Guangzhou.
I will report separately about the event at the German Embassy.
