San Francisco’s Press Club Offers A Special Toast For the Chinese New Year’s Parade

The annual Chinese New Year’s Parade in San Francisco just got a little more festive with a special invitation from Press Club, downtown’s wine-bar lounge.

The parade kicks off at 5:30 p.m. Feb. 11. But stop by Press Club between 2 p.m. to 5 p.m., when Joy Sterling, proprietor of Iron Horse Vineyards will be there to pour glasses of her winery’s new Chinese Cuvee, a sparkling wine created especially for the “Year of the Dragon.”

Only 1,000 cases were made of this limited-production wine. With 880 cases exported to China, only 120 cases are available in the United States.

It’s a blend of 75 percent Pinot Noir and 25 percent Chardonnay.

Enjoy at $17 per glass at Press Club. A three-bite pairing ($12) also will be available. It will include crispy scallion pancakes with spring garlic and black bean asparagus; salt & pepper prawns in Chinese soup spoons; and crisp won ton triangles layered with Peking slaw and Asian duck confit.
