The acumen, experience, and ethos of a sharp corporate lawyer and the astuteness of an independent wine expert come together in Bernice. I am personally grateful to her for her stellar legal work related to a capital raise by our company in Hong Kong. Following her career change, the speed and the level of knowledge she has acquired in wine are simply astonishing! She stands out in my mind as a truly gifted person to put in words the experience of any wine. Combined with her global outlook and professionalism her powers in law and wine are simply invaluable for any deal in either field or both!

I have known Bernice for more than 10 years both professionally and personally. On the business side, she is not only approachable and patient with her clients, but also commercial savvy. Bernice has extensive experience in cross-border transactions, including joint ventures, aside from her corporate finance experiences in magic circle firms, drawing on 10+ years of experience as senior counsel in transactions, compliance and her General Counsel roles at GE and Starbucks.
Our working relationship had blossomed into friendship as I value her trustworthiness and unyielding integrity. Bernice has a passion for wine and anything related to the wine and food business. I have witnessed her journey in pursuit of excellence in this field over the past 6 years and recommend her with no reservation that she is the best go-to advisor both for business and legal matters in this field.

Wine Dinners & Wine Events

Bernice’s wine tasting event for our law firm’s Asia Partners’ Meeting was a big success. Her warm personality and expertise in wine brought equal fun and enjoyment to novice and seasoned oenophiles. I was very impressed with her delivery. She made sure everything ran seamlessly. It was a demanding audience and I heard nothing but positive feedback.

I was delighted and lucky enough to have been invited to one of Bernice’s wine appreciation events in Beijing. The venue and ambience were perfect, with flexibility to engage as much or little as one would like in both learning about wine/wine pairing as well as networking. Highly recommend commissioning one of Bernice’s wine dinners if one is thinking of an event to enhance connections with clients or colleagues in a sophisticated but relaxed and natural setting. Not to mention of course the wonderful wine and food!
