  Serve with Bloodwood 2012 Riesling

  Our Riesling is just made for fish and almost acts as a squeeze of lemon juice over the fish, while cleansing your palate.                  

• Libran Entrée 1: Duck and Asparagus Sang Choi Bau

  First came up with this years ago with duck-loving friends who live very close to Sydney's Chinatown: simply combine one delicious takeaway duck's meat (picked from the bones), some extra finely chopped mushrooms, chopped asparagus and lots of chilli and coriander (Stephen thinks coriander smells like North Qld stink beetles, so he's not a fan!), to make quick work of Sang Choi Bau, with crispy duck skin on top to finish it off.

  Use the duck bones to make a beautiful duck stock, thus using everything and keeping it all in balance.

  Asparagus is plentiful at this time of year and is absolutely wonderful with our Riesling, as much as it is with a grassy Sav Blanc.

  I noticed recently that Neil Perry has a quite complex Duck and Pork Sang Choi Bau recipe in the Sydney Morning Herald:

• Virgo Tea and Coffee

  Serve tea and coffee with fine dark chocolate, Virgo's favourite.

  Just one piece of chocolate each (or pretend to forget to serve them altogether ~ your guests will be the better for it in the long run; it's a good thing Virgo's know what's best for themselves, and for everyone else as well).

  Also by now the table and kitchen should be perfectly spotless and sterile, for your guests' enjoyment and relaxation, not because you want them to leave yet!

   

• Virgo Dessert: Strawberry and Mandarin Sorbet with Fresh Strawberries and Shredded Mint

  A delightful dessert, further contributing to your guests' very good health and spring zing.
