Every weekend one of my newspaper reading rituals (the only days of the week I actually have time to read the local paper) is to read my horoscope. Sometimes they seem to be spot on and others, well, I have to wonder about the whole silly zodiac thing. But, I thought this article from The Star was fun. It teams up your chinese zodiac sign with the perfect wine for your personality. Since I am the year of the rabbit, I'll share this with you from the article written by Ed Soon:

The charming Rat: You are seductive, energetic, charming, meticulous, sociable, jolly, persistent and humorous.

An original wine - Furmint (dry), a flavourful and distinctive wine from Hungary, better known for its syrupy sweet Tokaji.

Captivating wines - German Rieslings; they range in taste from the dry (trocken) and half dry (halbtrocken) to the lightly sweet (spatlese), sweet (auslese), very sweet (beerenauslese) and syrupy sweet and complex (trockenbeerenauslese).

If you aren't sure what your Chinese zodiac sign is, then you can find them listed here: Chinese Zodiac Page, and this is how they describe us rabbits:

People born in the Year of the Rabbit are articulate, talented, and ambitious. They are virtuous, reserved, and have excellent taste. Rabbit people are admired, trusted, and are often financially lucky. They are fond of gossip but are tactful and generally kind. Rabbit people seldom lose their temper. They are clever at business and being conscientious, never back out of a contract. They would make good gamblers for they have the uncanny gift of choosing the right thing. However, they seldom gamble, as they are conservative and wise. They are most compatible with those born in the years of the Sheep, Pig, and Dog.

So, what sign and what wine are you?

That's so absolutely neat! that's the coolest thing i saw all day! Aside from the Western zodiac, the Chinese zodiac and horoscope system is probably the best known.
