In the mid-90s\, an encounter with Domaine Gramenon wines from the Rhône Valley aroused both his taste buds and his interest for biodynamic wines.

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.

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.

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.
