- About Me:
- Well, if you're drinking simple wine, then have at it. But, If you're drinking something special or just want to talk about the wine you're about to drink, then ask a few questions. When you ask the right questions, you might start to understand why wine is so magical. Nobody knows everything about wine and the people that do, well, they bore us all!
Why does the wine taste the way it does? Which foods pair well? Will this wine be a collectable?
Q: What is the perfect wine for a Cheeseburger or Pizza?
A:
California "Old Vine" Zinfandel is perfect for comfort foods such as these. Big zesty, jammy fruit that works well with a tomato slice or tomato sauce. Its acidity, fruit and spice take that greasy burger or pepperoni slice and make them much more refined. You'll take your next burger out of the fast food category, and put it into fine dinning right away.
Another fun selection would be Cote du Rhone from France, or Grenache Syrah from California or Australia.

Continue Caring for your wine glasses

This quote accurately sums up the importance of a quality wine glass when enjoying wine: “If you want to enjoy wine, you can do so out of a clean water glass. If you want to appreciate wine, then you want to use a glass with a stem long enough to fit three adult fingers, and a bowl that comes in on itself”
Caring for your wine glasses forms an integral part of appreciating wine and this starts with the way your glasses are stored. Most of us make the mistake of storing our…
