The legendary and distinguished connoisseur, Dr N K Yong is a cardiologist by profession and vintage collector by passion. After retiring from medicine in 2004, Dr Yong pursued his fervour for vintages and travels across the globe to visit many vineyards and vintage-making facilities. He believes that a good vintage should reflect the grape type, terroir, vintage’s distinctive character and exude the honesty of the vines and chateau. Since 1988, he has been a regular oenological columnist for The Business Times in Singapore and was honoured by the French government with the Officer de l’Ordre du Mérite Agricole for his service to the International Wine & Food Society in 1989.
