After an exchange of pleasantries, the interview commences with Steven describing his current activities on the wine tasting panel for Singapore Airlines. Steven describes how he has just returned from Singapore where he stayed at the Ritz Carlton Hotel (with which he was rather impressed for its spacious and airy feeling).

“I am the responsible panel member for European wines along with Australian MW Michael Hillsmith and Korean born Jeanne Cho Lee MW, who is an international wine judge as well as a regular contributor to renowned wine publications such as Decanter, Wine Spectator and Revue du Vin .

We tasted 150 wines a day over 4 days; we have chosen a good Cru Bourgeois for Business Class. We have just started with an Argentinean Malbec and some excellent Chablis and Pouilly Fusee”.
