"I look forward to Lunar New Year because it’s deeply rooted in togetherness and connection. Growing up, my parents and I would join extended family in the exchange of lucky red envelopes, watching lion and dragon dances at public events and enjoying festive foods, all to wish each other a healthy and prosperous year ahead. Today our traditions look similar and I have taken on hosting duties with a special peking duck dinner paired with Yellow Tail Bubbles Rosé, which will make for a memorable way to usher in the new year."
