Lawrence Ferber offers us a taste of Hong Kong’s burgeoning wine culture. Long and deservedly holding a reputation as a foodie’s city, Hong Kong just recently received its own Michelin Guide , while 2009 was proclaimed Food & Wine Year. So I was eager to attend Hong Kong’s Wine and Dine Festival , in which a portion of the West Kowloon Waterfront was transformed into a giant carnival of sorts – a snaking labyrinth of stands offering samples of international wines, and plenty of nibbles from local restaurants and a local culinary school.

This morning, the local Fox affiliate in D.C. checked in with Andrew again to talk about this travels, and we got another chance to see how well his beard is growing in. (I’m beginning to think that the newscaster Tony Perkins may drop his gig and join Andrew on the trip.)
