Gong Hey Fat Choy! Happy Chinese Lunar New Year! 2025 is the year of the Snake. Snakes are known in the zodiac for their wisdom, intuition, and mystery. Naturally strategic, they are excellent problem-solvers and skilled communicators.
The Chinese Zodiac moves in a 12 year cycle. Snake is the 6th animal in the Chinese zodiac. Recent Snake years include 1953, 1965, 1977, 1989, 2001, 2013, and 2025.
Not all are equal, there are 5 different types, each with different characteristics.
This is the year of the Wood Snake which last fell in 1965.
Celebrate with spring rolls, dumplings, noodles, steamed fish & chicken, rice cakes, hot pot, and vegetables. A glass or two of a nicely chilled, crisp Riesling will go great with all. Cheers to Chinese New Year and the year of the Snake!

It’s Mardi Gras! Put on some beads, don a mask, and laissez les bons temps rouler! Let the good times roll.
Mardi Gras, or Fat Tuesday, is a terrific opportunity for chefs to showcase the best of Cajun cuisine. It is also an excuse for wine lovers to mix and match favourite wines with the hot-and-spicy flavours of the Bayou region.
Overall, white wines will be the most versatile for the majority of Cajun cuisine and Sauvignon Blanc is one of the best options you will come across. That doesn’t mean that reds are out of the question, something like a Pinot Noir or Shiraz would be a suitable choice.
It is hard to resist a sizzling bowl of gumbo filled with sausage, shrimp, or chicken. It is a Mardi Gras favourite and signature dish. And can handle either red or white wine.
If you are trying something seafood or shellfish based like catfish, shrimp creole, or a crawfish entree, stick with white wines. A Riesling or Gewurztraminer will work nicely with any Cajun seafood dish.
But, it’s OK to cheat on wine today! Try a Wild Hibiscus Flower Hurricane – they are amazing!
