dbHK announces early bird rate for HITT

Teams now have until 2 September to register at the early bird rate for this year’s Hong Kong International Top Tasters (HITT) event on 22 October.

This year, dbHK’s HITT event will be in aid of Po Leung Kuk, Hong Kong’s leading social service organization and fundraiser, with a range of services covering different areas of the community, including children and orphans, the elderly and disadvantaged youths.

So, how good a taster do you think you are? Can you tell the difference between New World and Old World without seeing the bottle? How about regions and varieties?

Come and join the drinks business HK and its co-host Acker Merrall & Condit (Asia) for a night of blind tasting, fine wines, dinner and a fantastic charity auction on 22 October 2016 at the Grand Hyatt.

This year will see the same blind tasting format with 12 wines and 15 teams of four people. Each team will have one hour to complete the challenge of identifying geographical origin, dominant varieties, retail price, maturity and aromas/flavours with the answer sheets will be marked by our panel of expert judges. The blind tasted wines will be available for our dinner guests to try during dinner at the HITT tasting corner.

dbHK is delighted to announce that this year, each member of the top team will win a new Coravin Model Two Elite released earlier this year, courtesy of Coravin.

Read more about last year’s event here and see which wines featured in the blind tasting (and some of the teams’ guesses) in our picture round-up.

We look forward to seeing you at HITT II!
