has secured purchase orders and distribution channels in Southern

The wine tour in Guangzhou-China was a California wine
delegation, sponsored by the California Wine Institute
http://www.wineinstitute.org, the Agriculture Trade Office, and the
Perl River Delta American Wine Import Association working together
to create a very successful event.
The main focus of this event was to promote California wines in

Winery http://www.schugwinery.com/. As a member of California Wine
Institute and a premier producer of Caneros Valley Pinot Noir, Shug
Caneros Estate Wines have been recognized and celebrated for over
30 years.
The California wine market in China is dramatically growing and
this is noticeable in the demographics of young upper class
Chinese, attending the event. This group will be the key to the
success of the California wine industry in China, they are well
traveled with disposable income, mostly educated in American
Universities and have knowledge of the quality and value of
California wines.
The total U.S. wine exports, 90% from California, hit a record
$1.39 billion in 2011, up 22% compared to the previous year. Hong
Kong remained California's third largest export market by value
after the European Union and Canada, and revenues reached $163
million, up 39%. Exports to Japan were up 39% to $105 million;
China had 42% growth with $62 million; Vietnam was up 266% to $21

“It was an extreme honor to represent Schug’s Winery and have
the support of such an iconic winery and winemaker that Mr. Walter
Schug is, he truly is one of the largest legions and pioneer of the
California wine industry. The Pinot Nior was in a class of its own,
only rivaled by its world class Chardonnay.” Stated Mr. Yglesias
EVP of California Grapes International.
Additional Mr. Yglesias stated, “I would like to thank our
hosts, the California Wine Institute for organizing such a
successful tour event in China, my warmest congratulation goes out
to Mr. Eric Pope and the CWI Team in China. Like always, our unsung

Sanchez has been instrumental in the marketing and awareness of
American wines in China, they have worked diligently throughout the
last couple of years to bring the taste of American to China. Kudos
to all that helped in this event and the participants that pave the
way in this emerging market.”
