    Will be hosting a book club this weekend for a book set in the Sichuan province of China. We would like recommendations for beer or wine. Sichuan would be best but any suggestion would be very welcome and appreciated. I can get to Sam's or Chinatown. Thanks so much !

    Well if you've ever tasted the wine...gross...I'd serve Tsing Tsao beer if it were me. I lived in China for three years and this is about the only thing I really could get down. Any liquor store in Chinatown will have "wine" in fancy expensive bottles. They all taste terrible to me. I use my old bottles as candlestick holders now, because they are pretty celadon dragons. So, if you really think you want Chinese wine, choose a pretty bottle you can use later :wink:
    Binny's should have TsingTsao if you don't want to head to Chinatown. It really will compliment the spicy Sichuan food you will surely be serving.

    How about some Mou Tai? I believe I have seen it in stock at Super H in the past.

    I call that jet fuel. The book club may never speak to you again if you serve that stuff.
    :twisted:

    We went with Chardonnay and Riesling. Had Chinese beer on hand. Good time was had by all. Thanks!

    With awareness and apologies I didn't see this in time for the OP, or at least that gathering, I have enjoyed Pipeworks Brewing Company's Poivre du Sichuan beer. I found (I think) 750ml bottles at Cardinal Wines & Spirits, 4905 N Lincoln. Please save me one.
