Didier Deschamps' decision to omit Samir Nasri from France's World Cup squad was met with widespread bewilderment.
It prompted a Twitter tirade from the Manchester City star's girlfriend and soured the optimism that surrounded the French camp following their impressive comeback victory against Ukraine in their World Cup play-off.
['F*** France!' – Girlfriend lashes out at Nasri snub]
But at least France could rely on Franck Ribery – the man robbed of the Ballon d'Or by Cristiano Ronaldo after FIFA cruelly reopened the voting.
Now they can't.
News that the Bayern Munich forward had suffered a back injury and would miss Brazil emerged from the French camp on Friday and sparked immediate debate as to why Nasri was already weeks into his summer retreat.
Deschamps' decision to leave Nasri at home stemmed from the midfielder's reputation of creating unease in squads he was not an integral part of. But a quick glance at the initial 30-man squad highlighted that Nasri would not have been on the periphery – and, given his end of season form, may have even merited a starting place.
Instead, France fans must hit the fan parks or huddle around the TV cheering on little-known duo Antoine Griezmann and Remy Cabella who, despite impressing for Real Sociedad and Montpellier respectively, have little experience attacking the world's finest defenders.
Of the pair, Griezmann has more of a claim to a starting berth and there's a lot of excitement surrounding the 23-year-old. He shone in the 3-1 Liga victory against a weary Barcelona in February. But Sociedad's five other matches against Spain's top three? Relatively anonymous.
What makes the decision even more bizarre is that Ribery has nursed a back complaint for some time. Sticking Nasri on the standby list would have allowed France to prepare for Ribery's withdrawal without any commitment to hand the City player a squad number below 23 should he have proved a nuisance abroad.
If Nasri had replicated his form of 2013 then few could have argued against him being left to spend his summer topping up his tan. But the forward has sparkled under new boss Manuel Pellegrini, scoring seven goals with a matching assist total as the Citizens wrestled the title from Old Trafford.
As Ribery finished the season in a laboured fashion – going through the motions with Bayern Munich after securing the league and suffering an awakening Champions League mauling to Real Madrid – Nasri was starring in City's title run.
Nasri played all but 16 minutes in his side's five-match winning streak and scored the opening goal in their must-win final day encounter with West Ham. He had the momentum and, crucially, the form approaching a major tournament. His exploits should have seen him pushing for a starting spot, so to be left out altogether is a terrible piece of judgement regardless of the Ribery news.
France will face Honduras, Switzerland and Ecuador at the World Cup. Three sides whose best chance of progress is keeping it tight. Even in the French had Ribery in their armoury, having another experienced creative option on the bench would have been wise.
It's down to the manager to handle players' egos. Deschamps' decision to leave Nasri at home was him effectively admitting that he wasn't convinced he could handle the squad.
Deschamps dropped Nasri for the anticipated trouble he would cause; the end result is that leaving the City forward out has had a greater impact on France's hopes before a ball has even been kicked.

Rick Speer, assistant manager at Mingo National Wildlife Refuge in Puxico, noted, like the rest of the area, the leaves really haven't started to change colors yet.
"There are a few of the trees that are starting to change and some that are getting ready to change," Speer said.
Sumac, sassafras and dogwood are the first trees to start turning a reddish color, Speer said. They're the first ones to change while everything else is still green, he added. Typically around Oct. 1 to mid-October is peak time to see the fall colors, he said.
"When they change colors, there's a lot of diversity and the different species of trees will have different colorations," Speer noted.
According to Missouri Department of Conservation foresters, currently in the Southeast region, some sumac is starting to turn red, and the top leaves in some sugar maple and elm are turning yellow -- but that could be a result of the summer drought.
Forestry Division Administrator Bob Krepps said the return of rains in August, following a two-month drought, prevented a fall color flop.
However, foresters around the state say many trees already are brown or leafless.
"We're probably going to have an average year overall," Krepps said. "It won't be the worst or the best, but there will be color."
A hot dry spell that lasted through most of June and July caused some trees to lose their leaves. Although the majority of trees kept their leaves, the drought stress could make them more apt to early leaf drop, Krepps said. Krepps said rain that fell in August came in time to save many drought-
stressed trees. He said dogwoods seemed to be particularly hard-hit by the drought. Their leaves withered in July's dry heat, and some were completely brown by the end of the month.
But with the return of rain, many of the affected trees sprouted new greenery, which could make the difference between death and survival, Krepps said.
"If the drought had lasted another month, we would have seen much more tree mortality than we will now. The rain last month was a life-saver for a lot of trees," Krepps said.
The drought stress can also affect leaf color, and weather conditions in the next few weeks will be critical to determining the quality and duration of this year's display, according to Krepps.
Warm, sunny days and cool nights are ideal for the development of brilliant foliage. Normally what happens is nighttime lows in the 50s and 60s cause leaves to stop producing green pigment. Sugars stored in leaves undergo chemical changes at the same time, creating shades of orange, red and purple.
But just one kink in the weather can change everything. For example, unseasonably warm weather in September and early October can allow green pigments to persist, masking other colors. Cloudy weather causes trees to produce less sugar, and rainy weather helps flush existing sugar out of leaves and into tree roots.
A hard freeze at the wrong time can cause leaves to drop early. Heavy rainfall or strong winds can strip leaves from trees, cutting autumn splendor short. As a general rule, fall colors are likely to be better in river bottoms and along other water courses, Krepps said. Trees in dry, upland locations are less likely to turn vibrant colors this year.
"Generally, you just have to wait and see how it transpires each year," said Speer about the fall color at Mingo. "Each year is a little different. You can predict it, but you don't know until it happens."

Arizona-Style Immigration Laws for N.Y.? Upstate, City Residents Differ
A new survey tests New York's support for a state law similar to Arizona's stringent immigration measures. The results, at first, may seem surprising: a slim majority of state residents, 52%, support Arizona-style measures in New York, according to the latest Siena Research Institute poll.
But crosstabs from the poll put New York's immigration sentiments in a clearer light. In New York City, where more than 35% of the population is foreign-born, opposition to Arizona's tough immigration laws runs 3-to-1.
On the other hand, upstate sections of New York, which have tiny immigrant populations, show overwhelming support for Arizona's legal regime. Two-thirds of upstate residents want to a see a New York version of the Arizona law, an almost perfect inverse of New York City's opposition. Residents of New York City's suburbs also strongly support a local version of Arizona's laws, according to Siena.
Another recent poll by Quinnipiac University found different levels of support for a New York version of Arizona's law in upstate and suburban areas: only 41% of upstaters supported the idea, while 42% were opposed, according to Quinnipiac; 48% of suburbanites supported the proposition.
The 2000 U.S. Census found nearly four million foreign-born residents in the state. Of those, nearly three million live in New York City. The three New York suburban counties closest to the city — Nassau, Suffolk and Westchester — account for another 635,000 foreign-born residents. Which means that there are some 300,000 immigrants living upstate. (The Census doesn't distinguish between illegal and legal immigrants.)
Interestingly, the Siena poll tested individual planks of the Arizona laws and it turns out that New York City residents, while hostile to the overall notion of what Arizona enacted, do support specific provisions. By a 44-39 margin, for instance, a New York City residents favor a law requiring people to produce documents that prove they are in the U.S. legally. (But, somewhat confusingly, 51% of city residents oppose allowing the police to detain anyone without proper papers.)
In the end, no one will confuse New York City for a hotbed of anti-immigration sentiment. Siena found that 70% of city residents support a "tough but fair path to legalization" for illegal immigrants already living in the U.S. — a position that is profoundly controversial throughout much of the rest of the country.

Late Old English ceallian, from Old Norse kalla 'summon loudly'.
Call appears in Late Old English from an Old Norse root, but recall 'call back' does not appear until the late 16th century. To call the shots or call the tune is to dictate how something should be done. Call the tune is a shortening of he who pays the piper calls the tune, only recorded from the late 19th century. Call the shots, not recorded before the 1920s, is from sports and games. In pool to call your shots is to say in advance which ball you intend to hit into which pocket. In target shooting it means to announce which part of the target you are going to hit; if someone else calls the shots you have to aim at the bit they choose.

How to Play Pinch Harmonics on Electric Guitar
Guitarist Billy Gibbons from ZZ Top set the standard of "soulfulness" in the rock guitar world with his smoldering pinch harmonic solos. You can add soulfulness to your guitar music by learning how to play pinch harmonics, too.
Although Gibbons is a masterful blues guitar player with a well-rounded playing approach, he's best known for his edge-of-the-pick (also known as pinch) harmonics. To play a pinch harmonic, follow these steps:
Grasp your pick so that only a small piece of the tip can be seen from between your thumb and index finger.
Just as you strike the string, give the pick a little forward twist, so that the flesh of your finger touches the string to partially stop or mute it slightly.
This takes some practice, but the resulting note should have a harmonic (a high, bell-like sound resulting from the string being partially stopped) in it.
Add plenty of distortion to help the effect read better.
You can crank up the electric guitar's signal so that sound is distorted.
Among Gibbons's best guitar tracks are La Grange, Tush, Cheap Sunglasses, Blue Jean Blues, and My Head's in Mississippi. The following tablature shows two of Gibbons's hallmarks: his dark, Texas-style riffing and a blues line that closes off with is patented pinch harmonics.
Click here to download and print this guitar tab.
Gibbons's fat lead tone is legendary among rock players. He's particularly famous for using a flametop 1959 Gibson Les Paul Standard lovingly named Pearly Gates, as well as a pink late-1950s Strat given to him by Jimi Hendrix, both of which greatly contribute to that tone.

War and Peace
by Leo Tolstoy
War and Peace Epilogue, Part 1, Chapter 8 Summary
- Marya has a good effect on Nikolai.
- He's got a temper and beats the serfs who annoy him.
- One day, Marya sees him beating some guy and starts crying. Nikolai feels awful and, from then on, tries to avoid fighting as much as possible.
- His aristocratic neighbors don't really like him. He's too concerned with his serfs for their taste.
- Instead of socializing, Nikolai just farms and reads books at night. He's filling his library with the classics of his day and tries to read through each of them.
- Sonya is still living with them, helping out around the house and with the kids.
- One day, Natasha is talking to Marya about Sonya and basically says that she is the kind of person who was born to be taken for granted. Ouch.

Arsenal Message Board
Le Professeur Le Professeur Sep 13, 2011 21:50 Flag
This is a VERY Poor Francenal Side....
I can't remember how long its been since I saw such a weak Francenal team.
Once again your keeper is guilty of ball watching and awful distribution, despite being a very good shot stopper, he seems to be lacking in intelligence.
All the new signings bar Gervinho are either past it or not good enough, end of.
What the hell happened to Arteta?!
A shadow of his former self, no wonder Everton fans were glad to see him go! You've gone from Cesc to him, and from Nasri to the dreadful Benyaoun!
As for Mertsecker....Oh DEAR! He makes Kos look good, and thats saying something!
As I suspected your midfield without Wilshere is dire, and with him it wouldn't have been enough. Yes you got lucky with the goal and could have nicked it, but over the course of the season you're in for a miserable time on this evidence.
4th place? You must be joking?
The CHAMP19NS would have put 5 past Dortmund tonight.
Why didn't you splash out £5m on Parker, instead of the foreign dross you bought last minute...not to mnetion having to play the lumbering Song every game?
The madness continues!Sort: Newest | Oldest | Most Replied Expand all replies

So amusing, on so many levels.
lol stefan. but u forget that 1st he would completley change the subject & ignore the post in reply to his gaffe about song not playing.
A Yahoo! User Sep 17, 2011 16:34 Flag
Arsenal look quite good going forward but their defence is a mess. I thought Artea, Gervinho and Ramsey had a good first half but none of them seemed to be able to reproduce their best form after the break. Arshavin flattered to deceive, he had a few good spells where it looked like he could assert a real influence on proceedings but he never really built up a head of steam and just seem to drift in and out of the game. I thought van Persie had a stinker, which is unusual for him as he tends to be one of Arsenal`s most consistent players and a constant threat to theri opponents. He just didn`t seem on his game today. And enough has been said already about how poor Arsenal`s back four were.
Ian's response to your latest post: 'bint'. He's a tad predictable, is our Asperger's Ian.
ian still making a fool of himself i see.
song is a good RB, not outstanding but there really arent that many outstanding full bks about.
maicon was meant to be but bale, well pace showed a huge weakness.
evra has been poor for about 2yrs. how has fergie not had ago at him for just walking back when a player gets past him or he is caught out of position?
song is worth keeping for sure.
Le Professeur Le Professeur Sep 17, 2011 15:20 Flag
All you've done there John is highlight the strength in depth we have!
We have THREE keepers who'd walk into your first team, and you can have our 3rd keeper, we dont need him really.
'Meanwhile ours is on the up'
You mean he's on drugs? He's looked a bit out of it in all the games I've seen him play this season!
The Alcoholic Brown Family The Alcoholic Brown Family Sep 17, 2011 04:24 Flag
Chris, have a looky here ....
Song didnt play against us Ian....
"I see someone has a selective memory. How about when we beat you 8-2 ? Did Song remove Rooney then ? How about when Barce beat you 4-0 in the replay ? Did Song 'remove' Messi then ?"
It's actually impressive how wrong you are.
1) Song didn't play against United.
2) Song didn't play against Barca in that game.
3) The score in that game was 4-1, not 4-0.
4) Why do you put spaces before question marks ?

On Normalcy
Hope, from the Sokwanele Blog, explains a little about normalcy in Zimbabwe. As always, Sokwanele remains an excellent resource for gaining a realistic understanding of what life is like in Mugabe's country--a frustrating, ugly view, no doubt, but far more honest than anything you'll read from New African's Baffour Ankomah, an apologist who not only glosses over the depredations of Mugabe's government, but blames Western powers for Zimbabwe's economic woes.

Poor Ethan, didn't realise he had problems walking, maybe he needs some of those special boot things but hopefully the doc can sort it out soon. I haven't started potty training yet, keep meaning to but am waiting until it is raining all the time and I don't want to go out!
Sophie is having a really clingy time. Maybe for about a week she literally will not be happy to do anything except eat or stand up (supported by us obviously). She is driving me mad now! Poor Oliver doesn't get a look in. We are going to see the inlaws this weekend so at least someone else can entertain her for awhile!
Weighed her on my mums scales the other day and I think she's about 18lb which means she has jumped from the 25th line to the 50th! Greedy pig! She is loving food though so not suprised! And still sleeping through which is amazing!
Dh is off work this week after his exam and so I am going to try and sneak out to do some shopping as I want something new to wear for tomorrow night when we go out with his brothers and their g/friends. We are the only ones with kids but I have no idea what's in fashion! Help!
Have a good day girls xx

Hey girls!!!
Had a fab time - we all saw lots n issybum was very good driving there etc. but had mare of a time sum days with her which turned out as 2 more top teeth!!! So 6 now
Weve had most mornings starting at 5 6,7 am varies - i want my 8am back!!! She was off her food too but wondered if it was pain or sick of pouch food - shes happy eating my warm home made stuff lol
Shes standing really well with a bit of hands on her side to stop her falling sideways. N is pulling herself onto all fours to crawl but zero crawls got a letter for her review on 24th i think it is - hope they say shes ok!!
Hows my girls? All ok ?
Hows the job hunting going sarah?
Are the boys toilet training n walking good?
Hope u guys r ok too obviously hehe xx

Helloooooo! Glad you had such a good time, shame the teeth had to make an appearance though.
She is doing really well, by 24th she will probably be crawling anyway and if not it doesn't mean anything lots of babies don't crawl at all. Getting up onto all fours is the hard bit she just needs to work out how to coordinate her hands and feet and she will be off!
Sophie still only has two teeth... Thought we might be getting more but no, another false alarm! She is crawling slowly after quite a while of army crawling. She can't pull herself up yet, only onto her knees but she does like standing up. I would love her to be toddling by Christmas but think it might be too soon.
For the first time ever we have had major issues with the clocks going back. Since they changed both kids have been awake at 5am (I'm lying in bed typing this now!) but my mums been here so has been getting them up for me to give me a little more sleep (my mum rocks!) but especially Oli had been so touchy I've said they can both stay in their rooms until 6:30 this morning! Oli has had a little tantrum and quietened down and I've just heard Sophie... 5:45am still not acceptable! I miss my 7am wake ups... Bloomin' clocks!
Are you two going to find a Christmas outfit to dress the girls up in? I've seen a little fairy outfit in Sainsburys which was cute but kind of forgot to buy it! On Oliver's first Christmas we dressed him as an elf, he looked so adorable!
I am going to attempt potty training with Oli this week... Little bit scared as I know he isn't bothered about being wet at all and I've asked him if he wants to try and use the potty and he just shouts no! I'm hoping the thrill of wearing Spider-Man pants will do the trick! Eek!
Closing date for the job was yesterday so have everything crossed!
Hope your holiday blues aren't too bad Claire, piccys please! x

How old was Ethan when he cracked the toilet problems? And how did you do it? Please give me tips! It's starting to drive me insane! How often were you putting him on and how long were you making him stay on etc?
Hope the Physio goes well, let us know how he gets on.
Soph is good thanks, been so clingy and miserable the past couple of weeks but seems a bit better the past day or so probably because she's been sleeping until nearly 7. Still only two teeth but I'm sure they are in there somewhere. She's crawling properly nearly all the time and can finally go from crawling to sitting. Her big bottom has been stopping her I think! Got her 9-12 month check on the 19th, hope they won't mind me taking Oliver as not got a choice. Will have to take loads of snacks with me to keep him quiet...
Claire - we had wet sofas... Thank God for leather ones that are wipe clean!
Oliver learned to walk by using one of those vtech ones which I've got out for Sophie but she's not bothered yet. Also appears to dislike all her baby toys, only interested in Oli's toys or the remote control
Both kids asleep at the mo, should be doing something productive but instead I'm in my pj's watching last nights strictly! Bad housewife haha! X

Featured Developer Shaun Mechen (reto.scratchliquid)
First of all, what is your gamertag in Heroes & Generals, and what's the story?
Scratchliquid. Scratch is from an old inside joke and liquid is from solid snake's bad ass brother liquid snake.
What is your position at Reto-Moto?
3D Artist. I am overlooking the weapons.
For how long have you been working here?
2 months.
What games have you worked on?
I have worked on a few unannounced games I can not talk about. But I used to work doing weapons on Interstellar Marines at ZeroPoint Software.
Which tools do you use for making Heroes & Generals?
Maya, Softimage and Zbrush
What are your hobbies?
I like the outdoors but I also like to build plastic model kits of WWII German armour when I am not looking after my little girl.
What's the best thing about Heroes & Generals?
WWII what more can I say.
What's the best thing about working at Reto-Moto?
Having great support for something I love to do.
What are you working on right now?
Guns, guns and more guns.
What are your favorite games of all time?
I have a few ZX Spectrum and Commodore 64 games I love.
But more into this century I played a lot of Battlefield 2 and Company of Heroes.
What is your favorite movies?
Well I can't say one movie but i generally love most WWII movies and I am not saying that because I am working on Heroes and Generals.
Support is growing!
Hi all!
With the increased number of players and in preparations for the open beta, the demand for more support is on the rise. I have therefore over the last couple of weeks been in the field looking for more medics to join the field hospital, and I am happy to introduce our newest field medics to you. Please assist me in giving Reto.Gargamel and Reto.Hanzyl a warm welcome!
The support team is now an astounding number of 4 geeky gamer nerds and we are here to help you the best way we can!
When the heroes don't show up for war!
What happens when the heroes do not show up for war? Well, then the generals have to throw the die.
Heroes & Generals is a game where a series of action games are triggered by a strategy meta-game. In some cases there is not enough human players to play out a battle or the battle is simply too imbalanced for the action game to be any fun. In that case the result of the battle will be decided by the server.
Server reset
Attention! As we now have moved into the final field exercise towards the upcoming Open Beta, we've reset the server and removed some of the registration restrictions that were in place during Closed Beta. This server reset will be the last before Open Beta, and we don't plan on doing another reset when we move into Open Beta.
If, at any point, you've purchased Gold, this will now have been refunded into to your account. The only exception to this is Gold spent on War Bonds – this won't be refunded, but you do get to keep your War Bonds. The interest you might have gained from War Bonds is also refunded to your account. All refunds are in Gold – no credits or cash will be refunded.
Open Beta is not far away, and we look forward to celebrate the official announcement in the coming weeks.
Intelligence Bulletin Vol 3 * No 4
This week we have focused a lot of our efforts on hotfixing bugs on the Guderian build! Vehicles has seen a couple of bug-fix builds and some major improvements. We have been following the performance of the servers closely and the programmers keep refreshing their email-clients for incoming crash-logs to pick apart and bug-fix.
We are also doing our very best to streamline and improve our development processes wherever we can. We have SO many things we want to put in the game and let you play with and since we can't modify the time-space continuum, we have to work smarter. This has also led us to go through a lot of older designs and check whether they were still relevant or if stuff needed tweaking. Character progression, equipment, personalizing soldier load-out, and the strategy auto-resolver and how it links to the action game and back are some of the things that has been through the wringer.
Oh, The first version of ingame destruction of objects (fences, small trees, etc.) has been added to our internal development stream and we have seen it work in the engine (without nuking performance)….
H&G Newspaper Special 2: 2012 Recap!
From the desk of Dondergod:
Welcome to this second newspaper special! A bit later than my plan was, but here it finally is! In this article I am going to take you back into 2012. Do you for example remember the time when the campaign map was only future music? I myself only joined the beta in march, so I cannot say anything about the months before. Enjoy! Note: The screenshots used have nothing to do with the builds,
Questions to Reto
I also took the liberty of asking some questions to Reto. I first wanted to give a whole list of questions to all seperate reto's, but because of the time and their time which I didn't want to waste, I decided to go with 3 open questions. I want to thank Reto.RedBjarne for his participation and the answers to my questions.
A room packed with ACTION!
What does the Reto office look like? – People
Ever so often people ask "What does the Reto office look like?"
(Splixxen! You just made that up! /Ed.)
We sometimes move around to make communication easier, for the people who needs to work together.
At the moment, one of the rooms is called "The Action Room", where we have all the guys working on stuff for the action game; Level design, Vehicle design, Action game code, Animations, Stats, QA, etc.
So here's a small glimpse into the world of Reto's (messy?) workstations ;-)
The Rainbow-colored elephant watches closely as Reto.Leto tweaks the vehicle code.
Possible network instability
Our backend provider is upgrading a switch in Amsterdam (or maybe a bridge in Arnhem :-P )!
This means that in the timeframe below, network connectivity might misbehave with high ping, lag etc.
Click the date above to get the time in your local timezone.
We are not sure how much this will affect the game, but we thought we should warn you.

Is Burgundy the New Bordeaux?
Hong Kong has long been a red Bordeaux town. Restaurant lists and catalogs from recent auctions have been dominated by wines from the region, home to famous labels such as Château Lafite Rothschild and Château Petrus.
But interest is finally broadening beyond Bordeaux, albeit slowly, and no other kind of wine is catching on faster than the softer, more mellow red wines of Burgundy. (Though top wines from Italy and Napa Valley are also making progress.) Wine merchant Berry Bros. & Rudd said it expects the highest growth in wine sales in Asia to come from Burgundy wines over the next three years.
Better still, Burgundy-based master of wine Jasper Morris said it's a more versatile match for food.
"Burgundy mirrors fine Chinese tea in its perfumed aroma, subtlety and complexity of flavors and exceptional persistence, whereas more structured and powerful Bordeaux invokes Indian tea," he said.
Mr. Morris is a regular visitor to Hong Kong, but last month, he traveled to Shanghai for the first time to launch his new book "Inside Burgundy," a look at the region's vineyards.
"Burgundy is unfortunately far more difficult to understand than Bordeaux, though that is in itself an attraction to some people," said Mr. Morris. "The starting point is probably to pick out some [wine from] favorite villages and then if price permits some Grand Crus — plus of course a checklist of favorite producers."
Domaine de la Romanée-Conti, Henri Jayer, Leroy, Armand Rousseau and Comte Georges de Vogue are the classic Burgundy producers. Grivot, Dujac and various other not far behind, Mr. Morris says. A bottle of Domaine Jean Grivot's lowest-priced red is 280 Hong Kong dollars (US$36) on Berry's website, while the top producers tend to start in the thousands of Hong Kong dollars and go upwards from there.
Sotheby's wine expert Robert Sleigh said that though it takes collectors time to learn about the wines of Burgundy–there are thousands of small producers making subtly varied versions–once they do, they tend to stick with it. Some of the top lots sold at a Sotheby's Hong Kong wine auction earlier this month were from Domaine de la Romanée-Conti — a case of the 2005 sold for a whopping HK$1,815,000.
"People get more passionate about Burgundy than anything else," said Mr. Sleigh. "Relative to the rest of the market, Burgundy is undervalued."
Prices for top Burgundies are not low, but an agreement last week between the Hong Kong government and Burgundy to help promote and sell wines here means interest (and prices) likely will rise.
Sommelier Gon Leung at the restaurant Cepage, which holds one of Hong Kong's biggest wine cellars, says many of his customers know Bordeaux names and vintages well, but are now beginning to learn about and order Burgundy.
"They used to be beginners, but now they are intermediate," said Mr. Leung. "They know it's trendy and China mainland doesn't really know about it, so its special."
