Austrian Wine & Sauce Pairing Night with Debra Meiburg MW

A Chinese New Year–Inspired Tasting Experience
This special evening features six carefully selected Austrian wines, presented alongside classic sauces commonly enjoyed during Chinese New Year—from savory and umami-rich to sweet and aromatic. Rather than prescribing perfect pairings, guests are encouraged to mix and match wines and sauces, exploring how different combinations interact. By spotlighting the sauces themselves, the experience reveals how wine responds to flavor profiles such as soy-based richness, hoisin sweetness, sesame depth, chili heat, and tangy vinegar notes.
Guests will be guided through the tasting, discovering how Austria’s diverse grape varieties—known for their freshness, precision, and food-friendly character—can complement, contrast, and elevate these celebratory flavors in unexpected ways.
– 6 Austrian wines for mix and match with iconic Chinese New Year sauces
