Rosie · June 2, 2003

So is this dinner on Sun June 8 at 6 PM? I'm still on yesterday's time? Rosie

Rachel Perlow · June 2, 2003

Um, yes Rosie, just like it says in the sub-header. Go take a nap. :wink:

Welcome back, we missed you.

Rosie · June 2, 2003

Missed everyone also. In addition to going thru eGullet withdrawal we only had one Chinese meal--dim sum in Sydney so we can't wait to see everyone and break chow mein noodles together. Tommy--I'll bring your favorite chardonnay.

Jon never specified a date or preference, or even a yeah, but was active on thread

I'm having a bit of trouble with that weekend. I've got a family thing one of those two dates, but my relatives refuse to pin down which day it is. I may not know for a few days.

tommy · June 2, 2003

Tommy--I'll bring your favorite chardonnay.

:angry:

glenn · June 2, 2003

Tommy--I'll bring your favorite chardonnay.

Ahem ahem, and my favorite chardonnay too, please. Oh, and welcome back!

What kind of alcohol goes well with Chinese food?

Furthermore, what kind of alcohol would you recommend to an alcohol newbie that would go well with the banquet? (I tend not to like overly dry wines -- that said, I'm willing to try just about anything.)

Soba

Gewurztraminer or Reisling (although I prefer German ones because of the lower alcohol content) or any other Alsace white like Pinot Gris. High acid is the key.

SobaAddict70 · June 2, 2003

Are there different kinds of Gewurtztraminer or Riesling? Does year matter? I'm thinking of going to a wine store this week and don't want to look like a fool. On the other hand, I may just let the salesman do the talking. :blink:

Pin it down for them, tell them you're booked on Sunday. Ball is in their court. :wink:

i'm not sure where you live, but there are a few stores that will certainly steer you in the right direction. nancy's wine, near the upper west side is certainly a good start. website. in fact, if you poke around the website you can probably just make a choice there (they'll all good, for all intents and purposes), and pick it up anywhere.

wine, schwine....I've always ben a fan of light, dry and slightly lemony beers with chinese...Asahi is a great match, Tsing Tao sold in America is a little less dry than that sold in China but still good.

viejo majadero · June 3, 2003

Champagne!! always the first choice.

UGH! You won't get my vote on that...its a strong personal preference of mine...unless I am eating Hong Kong Style Cantonese, I prefer beer, tea or sparkling water with my Chinese. Different strokes for different folks, as they say!

Double 0 · June 3, 2003

Soba, A wine I love with Chinese food is Trimbach Alsace One. Its a blend of 5 different grapes, very fruity with good acid. Its $ 8.99 and readily available. Anouther good choice is any 2001 German Kabinett.

glenn · June 3, 2003

It kind of sounds like there'll be more than enough booze, and I'll probably drink water [sue me!] Does anyone have a request/suggestion of what I can bring? Or it's no problem to bring a bottle of anything off this list...

Anybody bringing glasses?

elyse · June 3, 2003

Tommy, you are too funny!

Rachel Perlow · June 3, 2003

They have simple wine glasses.

Glenn - I hope you already had that list somewhere on your computer and didn't type it in just for this! I vote for a dessert wine, since there will probably be plenty to drink w/dinner.
