Dragon of Wine for 5 Descendants of the Dragon

Dragon – the symbol of dignity, auspicious power and respect. Chinese people are represented as “Descendants of the Dragon”. Not only is this the year of Dragon, it is also the 5^th Dragon cycle (every 12 years), which is why we had an opulent dinner, celebrating 5 dragons’ 60^th birthday.

So-called “no-budget” wine dinner ^^, I was responsible for wine selection and food pairing. Here’s the sumptuous Dragon Wine list:

1.      Billecart Salmon Extra Brut NV (France - Champagne)

2.      TaittingerPrelude Brut  NV(France - Champagne)
