Hailing from the northern Chinese province of Hebei, Zhang is the third generation in her family to embrace the art of winemaking\u2014a tradition initiated by her grandfather, Yan Shengjie, hailed as China\u2019s pioneering modern winemaker. Yan&#8217;s journey into winemaking was inspired by an encounter with former U.S. President Richard Nixon, who presented then-Premier Zhou Enlai with a bottle of Schramsberg Vineyards sparkling wine from Napa Valley in the 1970s.

This preference stems from red&#8217;s association with joy, luck, and prosperity\u2014qualities synonymous with Chinese New Year and other celebratory occasions. Explaining the tradition, Zhang notes, &#8220;That&#8217;s why we drink red wine on Chinese New Year. It&#8217;s a time to think about the things that make us happy.&#8221; As Lunar New Year approaches on February 10th, Zhang reflects on her heritage and plans to celebrate with a pairing of her Napa Valley petite sirah and traditional dumplings\u2014a harmonious blend of old and new traditions. Embracing Tradition with Wine and Cuisine For Zhang, the versatility of petite sirah makes it the perfect accompaniment to a variety of dishes, including the classic flavors of pork, Chinese chives, woodear mushrooms, and fresh shrimp found in traditional Lunar New Year dumplings. &#8220;But petite sirah isn&#8217;t picky,&#8221; Zhang remarks with a smile, emphasizing its adaptability to any culinary pairing.
