【Blog】Lunar New Year Food & Wine
Happy New Year! Wish all of you a great year of horse!
CNY gatherings are always full of tasty traditional food and snacks. Have you throught of pairing them with some wine to further enhance the whole experience? Here are some tips!
Traditional CNY puddings, like turnip pudding, sweet pudding, and taro pudding, pair very well with a classic Sauvignon Blanc dominated blend. The acidity of Sauvignon Blanc helps to enhance the sweetness of the ingredients as well as balancing the fattiness of fried food.
Grand Reyne Blanc from AOC Bordeaux is your prefect companion. It pairs very well with many types of food, including those I mentioned.
If you prefer red wine, then a classic Bordeaux blend of Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon is a wine for any occation. The fruitiness from Merlot and tannins from Cabernet Sauvignon create a nice harmony in your mouth. It's not too heavy nor too light so it is a great option if you are unsure about the pairing.
Grand Reyne Rouge from Bordeaux AOC is an all time classic red wine for everyone. The wonderful fruitiness yet elegant expression can be appreciated by many drinkers.
