Don't fear the Riesling

Ask any wine fanatic and they'll profess, wholeheartedly, that summertime is synonymous with Riesling. Starting on the first day of Summer, June 20th, wine lovers all over the country come together to fill and toast glasses of Germany's Queen of all wine- Riesling. Wild Ginger doesn't plan on breaking this joyous tradition. With the longest day of the year approaching, we can excitedly proclaim Summer of Riesling is right around the corner.

The Summer of Riesling celebration all started when one bar in New York City decided to strictly feature Riesling on their glass pour menu in 2008. The project, simply started with the goal of diffusing the notion that Riesling was sweet, spawned into a country wide celebration paying homage to a misunderstood varietal.

Wild Ginger welcomes you to join the annual shenanigans!

The Year of the Dragon

In celebration of Chinese New Year on January 23, 2012, we will be hosting the traditional celebratory lion dance at Wild Ginger, Wild Ginger at The Bravern and The Triple Door. Culturally, the lion dance has been a Chinese New Year tradition for thousands of years. Believed to ward off evil spirits and summon luck and fortune for the upcoming year, this unique form of martial art has been regarded as a symbol of prosperity and peace; and of blessed beginnings. We can’t think of a better way to welcome the year of the Dragon then with the lion dancers.

See the lion dancers on January 21st, 2012, at 1:00pm, at Wild Ginger at The Bravern. Reservations for Dim Sum brunch are encouraged, and can be made by calling 425.495.8889. Also, the lion dancers will make an appearance on Chinese New Year, January 23rd, between the hours of 6pm-7pm at Wild Ginger and The Triple Door.
