"Very appealing and contemporary label designs, a good deviation from the traditional Chinese design, and yet managed to maintain the flavor of a product from China. Finally we have a wine from China to compliment Chinese
cuisine."

"The process of tasting new wines can be pretty
mundane, how many silly labels and 'me-too wines' can we offer
in highly competitive categories? Now and again something
breaks out of the clutter. A solid business plan, dedicated
assets, and it's new and different. When our review group
tasted the China Silk wines and projected the trade cost, we
knew we had a winner.
The Reserve Cabernet is a world class wine of remarkable value
and priced where every fine restaurant can and should promote.
We grabbed everyone walking by saying: "Taste this!"
We were excited and everyone was amazed. I can't think of a
restaurateur that wouldn't clamor to talk about it and let
their clients in on such a unique new offering.
The Marco Polo are solid, good tasting wines that deserve to
be blitzed to every Asian theme restaurant. At this price and
taste profile who couldn't sell these wines?"

"China Silk wines are quite good and the prices are very
reasonable."

"If there's an unusual or hard to find wine, consumers in
Texas know that Spec's probably has it, or can get it. As a
case in point, Rydman cites a recent addition - a Cabernet
Sauvignon from China (China Silk Reserve, non-vintage $15.92).
While the idea of a traditional European-style wine from China
may seem incongruous, Rydman says it's surprisingly good
"They've made a big investment in developing a wine
industry over there, so I think it's something that's going to
have to be taken seriously," he said."
