Currently a contributing wine writer for lifestyle outlets including Foodie magazine and Lifestyle Asia. A WSET 3 graduate\, her wanderlust for memorable wine experiences has taken her all over the world to meet with winemakers to share their stories (and wines) with readers.\n\nCristobal Huneeus\nCo-Founder of La Cabane Group\nAfter 20 years of a corporate career in media relations and communication that took him from Paris to Tokyo and London\, Cristobal relocated to Hong Kong with the strong desire to follow his long standing passion for wine and make a business out of it. 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. And so started his pursuit of low intervention juices with high “drinkability”. In 2012\, Cristobal and Karim Hadjadj-Aoul co-founded La Cabane Group Ltd\, a pioneer Hong Kong based wine company dedicated to importing and introducing biodynamic and low intervention wines from around the world in the unique and challenging local market. 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.
