The Dragon symbolizes luck, flexibility, imagination and charisma. Dragon years include 1940, 1952, 1964, 1976, 1988, 2000, 2012, 2024 making this the perfect gift for anyone expecting a baby … and for those celebrating a milestone birthday, like turning 60.
“Their 2020 Year of The Dragon sparkling wine is named for one of the 12 animals in the Chinese zodiac and it’s a perfect gift for other ‘dragons’ born in 1940, 1952, 1964, 1988, and 2000. It has aromas of white citrus blossoms, Granny Smith apple, and tangerine pith that lead to bubbly flavors of creamy orange sorbet, acacia flowers, and bright summer melon.” – Mike Desimone, Jeff Jenssen
