Stimulating Sekts

The Schwansee Trocken is the perfect sparkling wine for your stylish courtyard party, as I have found. The price is reasonable, but the taste is similar to entry-level champagnes – that is to say, it is dry and immensely drinkable. Without seeing the bottle, all but true connoisseurs might mistake it for Moët & Chandon. One can certainly be fabulous while drinking Schwansee.

Schwansee Rosé blanc et noir must be the best priced sparkling Rosé on the market. Fragrant but crisp, this will work nicely at a sunny afternoon picnic nearby Xihai.

We would like to extend a warm thank you to Cheers for sponsoring Stylites’ Spring Preening party with Jeans Team last Thursday. Cheers offers the best values in Beijing for good table wines as well as sekts for parties.

You can also follow them on weibo.

Impressive Accessories

This makes me think of some figure from the 1920s, though I can’t recall which one.

Beer was available at the strawberry festival only from the bags of old ladies and the various vendors. Apparently, they had snuck it in as if it was contraband. Alcohol is no longer allowed to be sold at music festivals in Beijing. It’s interesting being at a festival with so little liquor. Holding a beer can makes one feel like some kind of deity because everyone is so impressed.
