A wine list sorted by Chinese zodiac sign. A Cantonese dining room stocked almost entirely with wine grown in China. Both belong to the same Hong Kong restaurant group, and both came out of the same restless head. We sat down with the person who built them, inside the very restaurant he turned upside down.
Jean-Baptiste Copot is director of wine at Black Sheep Restaurants, the Hong Kong group now closing in on 40 addresses across the city, Singapore and Dubai.
In this interview, he traces his path from a teenage kitchen apprenticeship in France, to a Michelin-starred Lyon dining room with ceilings low enough to leave a mark; credits an English mentor who refused to speak a word of French to him; and recounts the hike where the zodiac idea struck him before he tore up Ho Lee Fook's cellar to rebuild it almost entirely Chinese.

My name is Antoine, and I’ve been passionate about wine for several years. I knew nothing at first, so I went out to meet the biggest figures in the industry and turned those encounters into a podcast that’s now listened to by over 100,000 people. I now share with you what I’ve learned, and I hope we embark together on a beautiful wine journey to discover the finest experiences.
