The best wine to go with fried calamari!


25 August 2015: It was a great experience to be tasting 2013 Grecante by Arnaldo Caprai with Marco Caprai in Hong Kong! 100% Grechetto, with its Greek origin, showed vibrant acidity, pronounced minerality and elegant structural balance, proved to be a perfect pair with fried calamari, and absolutely approved by Marco! 




We went to Fishteria on Queen’s Road East, the new seafood-focused dining concept by Chef Gianni Caprioli. The ambiance is bistro-like, with focus on seafood. Friendly, casual and nicely spacious. We started with some oysters and a glass of Champagne downstairs, before heading upstairs for dinner. The salt-baked seabass was a highlight, as was the scrumptious burrata with heirloom tomatoes. Look out for Chef Gianni’s upcoming opening on Star Street (same site as The Principal).
