The
8th annual La Part des Anges auction and gala took place in Cognac on
19 September, 2013. Each year of La Part des Anges auction and gala,
International Cognac Personality of Award will be awarded to those who
are most involved and devoted to the Cognac Appellation. They will be
responsible for promoting Cognac in other parts of the word as Cognac
Educators. It was my honour to receive this award this year, as the
first Chinese and the first Asian to be granted this award. There were
2 candidates who were awarded with the Les Cognac Awards in 2013, which
makes it 12 worldwide in total.
I was very honoured to be the first Chinese to stand in front of 650
Cognac experts, and owners of Cognac Houses and chateau to deliver my
speech as an awardee. It is not only an encouragement to my enthusiasm
and effort to Cognac collection throughout the last 20 years; I believe
the main reason is that the effect of China is growing rapidly, for
them to give this award to a Chinese person. Therefore, this glory belongs
to all Chinese!
I can still say I am comfortable in talking about Cognac miniatures,
but for Cognac regular bottles, I am only a beginner as there are many
Chinese Cognac experts and seniors out there. I still need to be taught
many things by the seniors, so I sincerely hope all Chinese Cognac lovers
can join me in promoting Cognac collection.
