Ningxia wows NY with flavors from foothill vineyards

Wineglasses clinked as enthusiasts in New York savored the rich flavors of various red and white wines from the eastern foothills of the Helan Mountains in the Ningxia Hui autonomous region.

More than 100 people attended the promotion of Ningxia's specialty industries at the Chinese Consulate General on Monday evening, where they enjoyed wine and a goji berry-tasting.

It was the Ningxia delegation's second visit to the United States this year, as the region in Northwest China is trying to widen its market in the US and internationally.
