Thanks for your comment John – a much better alternative, I agree!

Wines from Alsace have long been associated with Chinese food, so perhaps for your white you could opt for one. For more information about the Alsace region and the grapes grown there, click on the link below:

I do enjoy a good bottle of red with crispy duck, a delicious and often overlooked combination I think!

Perhaps I’ll be daring and have spring rolls with a white wine and then duck and beef in black bean sauce with a red, a better alternative than the coke and beer that usually comes with a take away.

Many thanks for your comment Emma. Yes, the 2004 would be great as it exhibits earthy, spicy notes and has had new French oak ageing which beautifully balance out the rich black cherry flavours – It would be ideal with duck.

I’ve had an Alana Estate Pinot Noir before and it was great – will be sure to try one with my next take-away! Would the 2004 go well with Chinese food?
