| SIMON'S CHINESE NEW YEAR GREETINGS |
 |
| |
| ON THE GRAPEVINE |
Flavour Colours |
 Hong Kong's 5ºC nights are perfect for pipping hot Claypot rice. Crispy and hearty,
it fills the tummy with rich warm flavours. The perfect wine with the claypot rice
could hardly be the frisky and ultra blond NZ Sauvignon Blanc or even the ivory
and layered 09 white Burgundy. Try some fulfillingly deep red and savoury age
Bordeaux, earthy Rhone and meaty Italian reds. Not only do they match with the
Brown toned claypot rice but stimulate a sense of comfort against the biting cold.
Check out this and more Chinese food and wine matches in Flavour Colours, a Chinese Food and Wine Pairing iPhone/iPad App.

| YUMMY QUIZ |
Last month's question: Which family and in which year did the current owner acquired Chateau Pavie? The
answer is The Perse family in 1998. There were more than 10 correct entries including one from Henrique de
Costa - yes, his family owns Chateau Pavie! Sorry Henrique, Iʼm afraid you are not qualified. The winner this
time is Arthur Yan. Well done Arthur, you have won a mystery bottle from Simonʼs cellar.
This month's question: Which Chinese city did this dish originate? What are the two key ingredients?
Prize: A bottle of wine from Simon's cellar (with all his global wine travel, you know you'll be in for a treat!)
