Subsequently\, the pair launched La Cabane Wine Bistro\, a French style wine bar on Hollywood Road showcasing and sharing their wine selection with a truly local and international clientele. Their Wine Cellar\, located nearby\, is not only their bottle shop but also the door to their wine education programme organising regular wine tastings and “meet the winemakers” sessions\, always in a casual and relaxed mode. La Cabane aims to achieve a virtuous circle: a clear focus and long term view on the wines and the winemakers they love and represent; a genuine care for the human capital and the growing forces of La Cabane; a pursuit for environmentally driven solutions in a constant search for economically interesting options for their trade and retail customers.\n\nDerek Li\nGroup Sommelier\, Jia Group\nHong Kong-born Derek Li is the Group sommelier of Jia Group Holding Ltd.

He created Natural in 2014\, with the aim to develop the presence of organic wines and craft spirits on the Hong Kong market. Thanks to a high-quality exclusive range\, Natural provides today with the most exclusive hotels and restaurants of the city.\n\nDr Merrin Pearse\nSustainability Advisor of The Purpose Business\nMerrin is a facilitator and connector with The Purpose Business.
