    Authentic Thai Restaurant In Las Vegas Expands Wine Selection

    Las Vegas, NV (PRWEB) February 06, 2012

    Kung Fu Plaza, which is the oldest and most authentic Thai restaurants in Las Vegas, is adding a selection of wines from Elvis Presley Wine Cellars. The winery is located in the San Joaquin valley of California.

    Last year, Kung Fu Plaza added wines from the William Hill Estate Winery in support of local music programs and the VH1 Save The Music Foundation. The fundraising effort concluded at the end of last April.

    “We are slowly growing our wine lists that have a natural link to Las Vegas, making wine tasting more fun for visiting Thai people and carefully selected wines that we already know will taste good with the food,” said Alan Wong, general manager of Kung Fu Plaza. “The Elvis wines fit well on both counts. They have a Vegas-connected brand and also bolder flavors that match very well with Thai and Chinese cuisine.”

    Adding a selection of Elvis Presley-branded wines is part of Wong’s effort to find the best wine matches for Thai cuisine after being inspired by the increasing interest in European wines by the Chinese. In addition to encouraging an interest in wine, China is home to several vineyards that produce Chardonnay and Riesling wines in the Sichuan region.

    “The wines we serve are mostly from Southern California, but I’ve been researching wineries from all over the world,” said Wong. “Naturally, people generally avoid tannic wines with hot and spicy foods, but not all Thai foods are spicy. Red wines can work with heavier dishes. One of our favorites from the Elvis Presley Wine Cellars is the Blue Hawaii, which is a sweeter tropical Riesling. However, a Chardonnay can play well with some dishes.”

    The selection from Elvis Presley includes: Jailhouse Rock (a richly flavored Merlot), The King Of Rock & Roll (a flashy Cabernet Sauvignon), Blue Suede (a vibrant Chardonnay), and Blue Hawaii (a tropical Riesling). The Riesling, Wong says, works especially well with spicier foods.

    While this is not the first time Elvis Presley wines have been offered on the market, the wine crafters say that this is the first edition line. Occasionally, the winery creates seasonal wines. For example, it offered an Elvis Christmas Pinot Noir last Thanksgiving. The wine cellar also produced 2007 Old Vine Zinfandel.

    Founded in 1973, Kung Fu Plaza is the oldest and most authentic Chinese and Thai restaurant in Las Vegas. It is open daily from 11 a.m. to 11 p.m. The average entree is under $10 and most patrons order family style.

    • Jailhouse Rock — A richly flavored Merlot with an aroma of black cherries and jam, flavors of vanilla and sweet oak, and plush tannins.

    • The King Of Rock & Roll — A flashy Cabernet Sauvignon with an aroma of black cherry, plums and peppercorn, with bold tannins and a generous finish.

    • Blue Suede — A vibrant Chardonnay with tropical fruit aromas, flavors of pear and melon, and a juicy full finish.

    • Blue Hawaii — A tropical Riesling with hints of honeysuckle and spice, flavors of crisp apple and pear, and a juicy full finish.
