A Visit to China: The Chi of Cuisine
Chinese history spans thousands of years, which has led to the development of rich and diverse cultural as well as culinary traditions. The Chinese believe there are five elements which must be kept in balance (fire, earth, metal, water, and wood), to achieve the most prosperous and healthful life. This belief extends also to food, to create balance inside the body. Ken has spent over a decade visiting China and experiencing the varied and diverse cuisine this country has to offer. Please join us for a classic Chinese meal along with a few of Ken’s countless enchanting stories as Southern Exposure brings Chinese fine dining to southwest Michigan.

Spring Wine Tasting: From ‘the land down under’
When the subject of fine wine enters conversation, thoughts of France, Italy, Spain and California are sure to be the first to come to mind. Very few would think about ‘the land down under’, but Australia is a vastly more diverse winemaking country than it’s given credit. There are craggy mountains, lush pastures, misty mornings and crisp, cool evenings. That’s not to mention varied soils and more than 100 different grape varieties planted across the country in 65 designated wine regions. Join us for an evening exploring the wines and cuisine of Australia as we enjoy good times and great company.
