Price $550 per bottle

Poon Choi is a very popular dish for festival dining. A variety of ingredients are gathered in Poon Choi, from top-quality abalone and sea cucumber to common chicken, duck, mushrooms and etc. Such a rich taste feast is really difficult to match with just one wine. The top layer of Poon Choi is almost made from sun-dried and fresh seafood mixed, and dipped in a rich flavor sauce with the vase of oyster. It is suitable to match with some stronger flavor and full body white wines, such as “Domaine FL Savennieres La Roche aux Moines 2014”, made from 100% Chenin Blanc. It is rounded and full-bodied. The flavor of wine is ripened peach, apple and pear fruit, with a clear minerality.

每逢過時過節聚餐，盆菜都是十分受歡迎的菜色，五花八門的材料，由頂級的鮑魚、海參，到平日常見的雞、鴨以及冬菇等多種食材匯聚於盆菜中。如此豐盛的味覺饗宴，實在難以只用一款葡萄酒去配搭。盆菜的上層多以海味或海鮮拼成，並沾上濃郁的醬汁，適合配以一些酒體較厚的白酒，100% 由Chenin Blanc 釀製，Domaine FL Savennieres La Roche aux Moines 2014 酒體圓潤豐厚，充滿成熟的水蜜桃、蘋果及啤梨果香，並帶有明顯的礦物感。

Having the ingredients from middle to lower layers of Poon Choi, the taste of ingredients and sauce are becoming very strong and rich, which is suitable to match with a full-bodied red wine. “Vega Sicilia Macan 2016” is definitely a good choice of selections. It is a deep red wine with full tannins, lots of wild black berries and spices in palate. The smell of vanilla, mocha and lavender flavors are good matching with the soaked ingredients in sauce.

至於從盆菜中下層的食材，味道開始變得濃厚而充滿醬香，在這時則適合配以一支酒體飽滿的紅酒，Vega Sicilia Macan 2016 絕對是一個不錯的選擇。這是一款單寧飽滿和濃郁的紅酒，口感中呈現出黑莓和香料的香氣，並伴隨著淡淡的雲呢拿、摩卡及薰衣草的氣息，與吸滿醬汁的食材相互交融。
