Many Asian households stock several bottles of decent whiskey, but only a select few hold fine Japanese whiskies like Kikori Rice Whiskey, an AAPI woman-owned brand made with Kumamoto rice. Caer Maiko, veteran bartender and co-founder of Daijoubu: A Super Asian Cocktail Pop-up, appreciates that this whiskey is gentler on the palate, while still packing a flavor punch.

“A more wine-focused drinker can find notes they love in it because it’s a lighter style of whiskey, but the Sherry and French oak barrels used are quite impactful,” Maiko says.

Sharon Yeung, who co-founded Daijoubu with Maiko, recommends both the dry and sweet iterations of Oka Kura, a Japanese sake vermouth. 

“It’s super fun to make it a combo gift with a favorite gin and a bottle of Oka Kura Bermutto (this is their standard and dry style), or a bottle of whisky with their Oka Kura Sweet Bermutto, so people can mix their own martinis and Manhattans at home,” Yeung suggests. “Since the Gibson is one of my favorite cocktails, I really love the addition of an Asian pickle for a savory martini kind of vibe.” 

Want to punch it up? Yeung suggests bringing the Japanese Bitters’ Umami Bitters to make cocktails at the dinner.

If you want to impress, bring your pairing skills to the table with a wine that can stand up to a flavorful char siu pork. Ian Krupp, wine director at Anajak Thai, named the Los Angeles Times “2022 Restaurant of the Year,” suggests a Bordeaux, which is popular in Asia due to the British importers who brought loads of the region’s wines to Hong Kong. Wines from vintages with the number eight—a lucky number in Chinese numerology—bring extra good luck. 

The 1988 Gruaud Larose, Saint Julien, Deuxième Cru (extra lucky with two eights!) is readily available for purchase online.

You’d be remiss to forget that it’s the Year of the Dragon, and that in the year ahead, fortune will favor the bold. That’s why Nikita Malhotra, head sommelier at Pressoir in New York City, doesn’t shy away from strong choices for Lunar New Year events, like a Cornas from Julien Cecillon or Franck Balthazar. 

“The savory, spice and fruit notes all come together quite well and in a balanced way, but what made me choose Cornas was that it is the darker, more gutsy version of Syrah from the Northern Rhône,” she says. “The meatiness and the subtle unfurling of smoke brings about images of dragons in the night sky.” 

Red wine is a popular pick for Lunar New Year, Malhotra says, because red is a lucky color in several Asian cultures. Don’t forget to find a vintage ending in eight—the 2018 Cecillon Cornas does the trick.

If you want to bring something unique, or if you’re celebrating with Hawaiians, this spirit possesses a familiar yet novel taste. Khamphone Jot Voraphaychith, whose Village Ghost brewery creates Lao rice wine, suggests gifting Kapena Li Hing Infused Tequila, a spirit that blends 100% agave and the salty-sweet, dried Chinese-Hawaiian plum powder called li hing mui. That salty-sweet flavor plays nicely in margaritas and cocktails, but it also stands alone nicely, whether neat or on the rocks. 

“You may have had li hing mui if you’ve had various Hawaiian dried fruit snacks or candy,” Voraphaychith says. “Kapena’s li hing mui infused tequila gives off a velvety smooth vanilla flavor ending with a lingering li hing mui sweetness.” Take your pick of three flavors: the aforementioned Li Hing Mui infused, chili infused or the Kapena Silver.  

“For me, there is nothing more synonymous to the Lunar New Year celebrations than firecrackers, red envelopes and baijiu,” says Philip Ly, lead bartender and beverage director at General Lee’s Cocktail House in Los Angeles. “Growing up, our household was filled with generations of family members, all with food-stuffed smiling faces socializing throughout the night. Red-cheeked adults gossip at the table drinking baijiu out of unusually tiny little drinking vessels.” 

Ly enjoys Ming River’s version of the clear and potent Chinese spirit for its bright, fruit forward character, which he says makes it the perfect cocktail ingredient and makes for an easy baiju introduction for newcomers. The distillery’s tried-and-true chops—it’s over 400 years old—appeal to seasoned baijiu enthusiasts, but the chic bottle and branding also appeal to the younger generation.

The family of Dan Q. Dao, culture and food writer and founder of District One Studios, loves Hennessy as much as mine did Johnnie Walker, and these limited-edition bottles honor the Year of the Dragon with aplomb. 

“Likely a holdover from the French colonial era, Cognac is seen as a luxury good and status symbol in modern Vietnamese culture,” Dao says. “Growing up in a big Vietnamese family, I always saw Hennessy poured at weddings and parties—a bottle on every table.” Showing up at a Tết dinner with either a showstopper gold X.O. or lucky red V.S.O.P. bottle festooned with dragons by artist Yang Yongliang is a party starter, for sure. 

“A bottle of X.O. is sure to be a crowd-pleaser for Vietnamese aunties and uncles,” Dao says. “A pleasantly smooth-sipping option with all the requisite brandy notes of butterscotch, toasted caramel and candied orange peel, it’s a safe bet for gifting since it appeals to the palates of both newcomers as well as experts. That warming finish of spicy cinnamon and oak is also welcome during the cold winter months.” 

Ryan Bailey, wine director at Michelin-starred Taiwanese restaurant Kato, usually favors Japanese or Taiwanese whiskies, but can’t resist the florid dragon artwork by Taiwanese-American painter James Jean that festoons this year’s Johnnie Walker Blue Label Lunar New Year Limited Edition bottle. With a flair for drama, Jean has created movie posters for Everything Everywhere All at Once and a slew of Guillermo del Toro films, so it’s no wonder his label is stunning.

“Honestly, I might just display it on a shelf in my office rather than opening it,” Bailey says.

Bailey also likes the Aligote by Cho Wines in the Willamette Valley in Oregon, run by Oregon’s first Korean-American winemakers Dave and Lois Cho. You’d be welcome at any party with their pét-nats or classic Pinot Noir in hand, but the Aligoté offers more texture than the Chardonnay, along with “truly unique aromatics,” Bailey promises. Plus, it pairs well with whole fish, often served on Lunar New Year tables.

More is more on Lunar New Year, according to June Rodil, master sommelier and CEO/partner at Goodnight Hospitality in Houston, Texas. She recommends a magnum of Beaujolais for the holiday of prosperity. 

“To truly embrace the spirit of ‘more’ in 2024, reach for a wine that goes above and beyond,” she says. “Nothing screams ‘I care’ like a magnum-sized bottle. It’s not just about the wine; it’s a statement of generosity and togetherness.” 

A light and fruity wine strikes the perfect balance with oftentimes complicated-to-match Lunar New Year menus, Rodil says. “With its deep layers of umami, Beaujolais is the ideal companion for the table and won’t overpower the delicate flavors of fish and vegetables, yet it’ll stand its ground with the bold spices and hearty meats.” Opt for Marcel Lapierre, Foillard, Mee Godard, Guy Breton and Charly Thevenet—you can even go the extra mile by seeking out a wine from the 2012 vintage to commemorate the last time we welcomed the year of the dragon.

Korean makgeolli may have started as a humble farmer’s spirit, but finding a small-batch, American-made bottle of this milky, sweet, effervescent rice wine at the Korean grocery store can be a challenge. 

“Makgeolli is not only a delicious traditional Korean spirit, but this particular brand is being produced by a small, Korean-owned microbrewery right outside L.A.,” says Dustin Lee, co-owner of Jilli, a Korean bar in Los Angeles. “Bringing makgeolli is the perfect way to add a touch of Korean culture and tradition to the Lunar New Year festivities.” 

Lee says he’ll be bringing bottles of Los Angeles-made Angma makgeolli with him to parties and dinners. While it can be hard to track down—it’s only sold at a handful of brick-and-mortar spots in California—this small brand is well worth the effort. “It’s such a versatile beverage—it’s naturally carbonated and pairs well with a lot of dishes, like tofu kimchi, steamed tofu with stir fried kimchi and pork belly. It’s the perfect way to add a touch of Korean culture and tradition to the Lunar New Year festivities.”

In a recent Instagram post, German wine expert Valerie Kathawala concurs, calling the wine a “most surprisingly satisfying simulacrum of real-deal Rieslingsekt: an elegant and super-fine perlage, just enough ‘dosage’ to read dry but convey Riesling’s characteristic fruit, a bright line of citric acidity, and a pleasing weight and body—the holy grail in non-alcs.”

This exclusive Wine Enthusiast x iGourmet kit includes expertly curated meats, cheeses, and a variety of accoutrements to inspire the highest level charcuterie board design, while hitting all the right notes of flavor and texture. “This is truly an exceptional representation of a great charcuterie and cheese board,” says Dominick DiBartolomeo, Owner of The Cheese Store of Beverly Hills. “I love having contrasting and complementing flavors and textures, as what happens here with a variety of crackers and accompaniments. That’s what the experience is all about.”

Set the tone for a sweet 2024 with an assortment of Savannah Bee honeys, packaged in a charming bound, storybook style box. The set includes Acacia, Lavender, and extra-special Tupelo honey to support a variety of recipes—or just to enjoy as a topping. “Match a honey’s flavor profile to the recipe you’re working on , and you’ve just added the perfect touch of sweetness,” says Asukar.

A great gourmet gift for the spiciest gourmands in your life, this fiery set includes not only Savanah Bee’s hot honey, but honey hot sauce, as well as hot honey fire sticks for snacking. “I always recommend having hot honey on hand if you’re a home mixologist, or anyone who likes to impress their guests when serving cocktails or unique dishes,” says Jim Kearns, Director of Beverage at Arizona Biltmore—a Waldorf Astoria Resort.

We all have that one friend or family member whose whole being is best summarized by the word “pizza. “Attractive and practical, reclaimed oak barrels provide the source material for a personalized pizza board that makes for the easiest and cleanest cuts. Slicing guidelines and an accompanying pizza slicer make it even easier. Plus, personalization turns a good gift into something heirloom-worthy. “Receiving a personalized gift always brings a big smile to anyone’s face,” says Erica Key, Atlanta-based Editor-in-Chief of Eating with Erica and author of “Confidently Cooking.” “These thoughtful gifts prompt more kitchen time and offer a unique touch that can’t be easily replicated.”

From fajitas and steak to pizza and brownies, this restaurant-quality set is cooking-enthusiast pleaser with unlimited practical applications and a number of great ingredients. The heavy-duty cast iron skillet comes pre-seasoned, a real gift unto itself. It comes with a reclaimed barrel wood table platter and hot handle mitt makes it easy to move their sizzling cast iron dish between the oven and stove top and to the table for a seamless presentation. And, same as the other reclaimed barrel items on our list, the sustainability angle is also a meaningful approach to gifting. “In this day and age, it’s increasingly important to be aware of our footprint and the materials we’re using on a daily basis,” says Damon Campbell, Executive Chef of Fairmont Pacific Rim in Vancouver, Canada. “By gifting repurposed materials, it’s showing you care for the world around you, with the goal of leaving the planet better than you found it.”

Trying to decide between a creative decanter and an elegant cheese board for someone who always hosts epic wine and cheese nights at home? You don’t have to with this all-in-one combo that includes an acacia wood board with a marble slab for presenting cheese and charcuterie, ceramic condiment bowls, serving tools, and a science-inspired, built-in decanter. Both fun and functional, “Decanters are awesome gifts because when used it makes guests feel as though they are drinking something special, that you care about your friends experiencing the wine in its best possible moment,” says David Weitzenhoffer, owner of NYC’s Community Wine and Spirits. “They really work for enhancing aromatics and flavor profile on the palate.” Better still, the decanter is also customizable for the recipient, making for serious heirloom gift potential.

For the turophile in your life who always dazzles with the latest, unique cheese finds, give them the gift of showing off their exceptional “curdplay” with a chalkboard accented cheese board that makes labeling a breeze. “Having a chalkboard element makes for great conversation and really adds to the experience,” says DiBartolomeo. “It allows your guests to know what they are having, especially if they want to remember what they liked.” Since your cheese lover always serves the good stuff, naturally everyone will want to remember what they liked. With three condiment bowls and swivel functionality, it’s also perfect for casual, cheese board date nights at home.

A cold stone marble slab for creative ice cream concoctions is a stone cold great gourmet gift idea. As with the taco holders above, “an ice cream board encourages experimentation with various mix-ins,” says Key, justification enough for a niche foodie gift like this, especially for gourmet friends with ice-cream loving kids: an activity and a money-saver all in one. Consider that a personalized ice cream board such as this one, that becomes beloved by your family for impromptu ice cream parties, “makes for something to be passed down to your children or grandchildren,” says Key, a unique gift, also made with historied reclaimed wood, that transcends generations.

For the burgeoning cheese lover who doesn’t yet have the perfect cheese board, you can help them go beyond aficionado to downright pro with the simple but elegant functionality of a built-in wire slicer. “In my opinion, there is no better way to portion cheese than with a slicer,” says DiBartolomeo. “You can use skeleton knives for softer and semi-soft cheeses, but we all know the cheese still sticks to the knife or crumbles. With a wire, you get a clean cut every time and the cheeses always keep their shape”—of high importance in creating the most Insta-worthy cheese board creations. Customizable, and including a built-in drawer for serving tools, it’s the perfect upgrade for loved ones looking to take their cheese relationship to the next level.

For culinary enthusiasts, the right tool for every job knows no bounds and that includes pieces for presentation. If your favorite foodie owns a rice paddle and sushi rollers, then they’ll adore this serving set. Complete with two personalized sushi boards with dishes for soy sauce, they’re perfect for their bespoke maki creations – and even take out. “These are really fun additions to any kitchen,” says Campbell. “If they help enhance the experience, then why not?”

File taco holders under gifts that may cause the recipient to exclaim, “how did I ever survive without these?” Here, beautiful reclaimed barrel wood is transformed into a 3-slot taco holder to easily build and present enticing tacos. Having a taco holder “can truly inspire creativity,” says Key, the value of which as a gourmet gift for home cooks is immeasurable. “[They] might be motivated to try new recipes, techniques, or fillings,” she says, especially when your taco lover also has just the right piece to hold them in place during assembly.

Wine pros and enthusiasts alike can often be on the receiving end of a variety of novelty, wine-shaped or themed gifts, but these salt and pepper shakers have simple day-to-day functionality that’s bound to spark joy. “These are a creative way to impart function in our world,” says Leo Braddock, Winemaker for Walla Walla’s Quarky Wines, “while also being fun, unique, and a thoughtful gift.” In order words, just a dash of the right kind of vino novelty. The professional quality wood shakers are built with top-quality mechanisms for precise grinding and laser engraved with an exclusive vineyard label with your wine’ lover’s name.

If you have a friend who always shares a few nice bottles when you visit their home, consider giving the Recanter Wine Breather as a host or hostess gift. This sommelier-style decanter rebottles unfinished wine without a spill, and stores it with excellent aeration to extend its freshness. “Easily decant a bottle of wine… by placing the bottle over the decanter, then reverse the process and double decant the wine directly into the bottle,” explains one 5-star reviewer. “No mess.”

From the Wine Enthusiast Art Series, the Cascade decanter is a system of natural aeration that looks beautiful on any table.

Hosts can add ornaments, fruit, flowers or other decorative elements to the water before freezing to bring their individual flair to the table.
