Wine Tips

     Wine Tasting                                         
        The best time to taste wine is before a meal. Try not to perform a tasting after a hearty meal, as your taste buds will be significantly altered by what you have been eating previously. Taste whites first, then reds and always begin with the lightest bodied one first and end with the wine that has the most complexity.

     Wine Pairings                        
       As a general rule, a food and wine should be matched to complement each other. Ideally, the food should taste better with the wine and the wine should taste better with that food. It is really that simple. Tha hard part is choosing the right wine, and that decision is based on one's palate in addition to knowing what options are available. The more different wines you taste, the more choices you will have.

  Old World vs. New World
      Wines in Europe go back thousands of years while our wines here in the states are approximately a hundred years old. New World wines encompass Australia, New Zealand and South America as well. The key difference between the two wine styles is balance. Old World methods attempt to keep a harmony of acidity and sweetness while the New World philosophy is to keep the sugars of the fruit forward and stronger in mouthfeel. It is enlightening and rewarding to enjoy both types of wine as you discover the right wine for you.
