0 comments

winemakers around the world, a mixture of certain types of red grapes to produce premium wines. Each bead has its uses recognizable traits that make some of the best loved red mixture. Since grapes are used for these wines are Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Shiraz Viognier I., and white varieties, are also mentioned here because it is now used to blend with Shiraz.

Cabernet Sauvignon tastes like black currents, blackberries, cherries, peppers, and olives. It also gives off aromas and flavors of ginger and anise. As can be processed in oak, it also comes with features vanilla, coconut, smoke, musk and leather.

This variety is suitable for warmer climes and takes anywhere from 5-10 years for it to mature. With its defined structure, it is often blended with Merlot to soften the perfect blend of wine.

is the Merlot flavor and aroma similar to Cabernet Sauvignon, but is less pronounced. However, for the production of wines from this grape is very tricky, because to be optimal maturity when made into wine. Merlot is not yet ripe for the picking more herbal flavor of this grape variety voćnog.Prezrelog will also give off herbal flavors.

With its low astringency and acidity levels, it comes out thick and is ideal for blending with Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet franc.

Shiraz is to Australia and South Africa as a Syrah in France and the rest of the wineries in the world. Like Merlot, its maturity is also very important in producing good wine. It needs a warm climate to ripen and lose much of its quality when even slightly overripe.

In addition to its spicy and intense flavor and aroma, rich purple color that it almost makes black a popular choice for mixing, even if it seems too sweet varietal. His seductive and rich colors preferred, Rhone-styled red blends that also include Grenache and mourvedre.

Viognier is a white grape variety that produces wine with a deep golden color. It is a complex flavor that reminds you of apricot, honey and orange flowers mixed with toast, smoke, mint, and even the taste of tobacco. It has low acidity, but there is still a smell that comes out even when it is blended with a significant proportion of other grape varieties. That is why it is mainly used in blends. Traditionally, especially in California wineries, it is mixed with Chardonnay, Blanc, Chenin Blanc and Colombard. However, Australia has become known as the mixing of ingredients with Shiraz. Shiraz Viognier uses only about 2-7 percent of white grapes.

These are just some of the more popular and easier to mix the red you see out there. Some even carry a combination of 4 types of vines. It would be good to keep in mind when buying a combination of wine stores that the first option mentioned in the declaration should make up the largest part of the mix.

DIARY OF a CHAV by Grace Dent - A Review and I Didn't Know What a Chav Was Either!

0 comments

Chava daily until the next in a series of teen novels ave mercy on Shiraz Bailey Wood. "Chava", for those unfamiliar with the term, is used as an insult to the British white working class people who have taken to wearing fashion inspired by hip-hop generation in America. Such things are fake designer clothes, hoodies, gold and gaudy jewelry, or "bling" is quite commonly found in a closet or cabinet of chave.

Shiraz, who is 16, likes to be called chave especially since she can not help that her family is well off. Her parents and work, but not much money, so things are hard to Shiraz as a teenager with all the peer pressure and such. Her high school was known as "Chava mean" deep Shiraz is just good-hearted girl who has trouble finding his way in his formative years. She has dreams and wants more from life with her ​​parents and many of her friends at school were sent. Her best friend is Carrie Draper at Mayflower Academy ... AKA Central Chava and Shiraz has an older sister named Cava-Sue.

The novel was written as a diary with entries that are Shiraz through the school year and its summer break and back to the start of its 11th year. In her entries, she talks about all the trials and tribulations involved in what was a fairly typical teen angst novel type života.Priča includes all the typical teen experience: girl time, the boy, who wears what and all the important things in life teens .. . all that is important for them at that time

.

The book itself has some funny parts to it and the intended audience is, I am sure, quite a bit of fun. However, caution that it should be aimed at students of secondary school age with respect to language, and some of the activities that Shiraz and her friends enter. As an adult, a middle school reading teacher, I believe that I am quite on current issues, and most of the popular language of young teenagers to use. I am starting a teen students daily, and yet this one was the national language (language) that I did not even want to try to understand at times. I found the book to be very tedious to read and proći.Jezik is very British and euphemisms may have lost on me. Either way, I did not care for the book and not one I would recommend. I do not read many young adult novels, and many are very good, funny, silly, deep and prepared for this age group. However, you still find them to be good to read. This book, however, was not. I hope you will find an audience because I'm sure there are "chavs" out there who will appreciate the ancient lady latest novel.

Basic Food and Wine Pairing

0 comments

There are many articles on pairing wine with obroke.Osnovni answer is white wine, fish or chicken, red wine with steak or pasta, but there is more involved. Someone asks what white wine goes better with fish, and it depends on the type of fish you have and flavor (mild or spicy style), as well as your taste preferences.

Many wines vinited styles ranging from light to full band, depending on the manufacturer so heavy oaked Chardonnay May go well with cream based pasta but un-oaked Chardonnay and maybe connect with a mild fish or poultry. There are a lot of wine, and of so many cross over the line for the pairing of basic foodstuffs, because of unique vintage and mixing, it is almost impossible to get a complete list of which is simple and straight forward.

There are some people who only drink red wine and other drink only white and still others to drink, but limited selection. Regardless of your preference, there is either black or white wine that you will find compatible with your main meal no matter what May Be. So, do not stress, work within their tastes and preferences of the experiment gradually expand its taste palate.

Think about it this way, food and wine that you need to compliment each other or their balanced flavors, texture and acidity.

Spicy foods pair best with sweet and flavorful wines.

a couple of beef dishes with bold and full of wine. (Cabernet Sauvignon, Zinfandel)

Pasta with tomato sauce (sour) goes well with wines with higher acidity like Sauvignon Blanc or Chianti, if you prefer white wine.

Pasta with a creamy white sauce works very well with Chardonnay. The cream-based pasta contains milk, sour wine that would not be a good choice.

If you have a strong fish with lemon sauce I would suggest something like Sauvignon Blanc, but with a mild fish, Riesling may be the better choice.

There are many types of fish, some are mild and flaky, while others are more like steak (swordfish). When I swordfish I like medium body wine such as pinot noir, it seems only brave enough for that texture and flavor. Pairing wine with food should not be stressful, relax and enjoy the process, try to experiment can reveal a great combination.

Here there is no stress basic wine pairing list. It is by no means a comprehensive list and there are some who may challenge some of my choices, but that's ok. Maybe you'll discover a pairing that is not mentioned, but if it works for you that's what really counts.

Steak & Grill .......... Cabernet Sauvignon, Shiraz, Zinfandel, Malbec, Norton (Missouri), Bold Reds

Poultry .......... Riesling, Viognier, Chenin Blanc, Pinot Noir, Chianti, Merlot, Rioja, Burgundy

Pork .......... Pinot Noir, Chianti, Merlot, Rioja, Riesling

Fish .......... Semillon, Chenin Blanc, Sauvignon Blanc, Riesling, Pinot Noir (swordfish)

Shells .......... Chablis, Riesling, Burgundy, Chardonnay

of tomato-based pasta (red) .......... Chianti, Sangiovese, Italian wine, Merlot, Zinfandel (Red)

Cream Pasta (white sauce) .......... Chardonnay, Pinot Grigio, Merlot, Barolo, Chianti

Spicy food .......... Gewurztraminer, Riesling, Pinot Noir, Rose '

matching food and wine from the same country and work, because they are produced to enhance the local fare.

Let your server, or menu choices to guide you vina.Restoran wants to return, so you do not want to control what's wrong with bad wine pairings.

season can sometimes lead you to a selection of wines. Personally, I drink white wine in summer than in winter, because it is more refreshing in the heat of Missouri. I like Cabernet Sauvignon, but sometimes it's just too hard on a hot summer day.

What's In A Glass?

Last night we had one of our favorite personal tasting events, Riedel stemware tasting and presentation (compliments of Lisa & AJ from Riedel Crystal to conduct a presentation). We have been longtime advocates of proper stemware, especially varietal specific stemware. We had the opportunity to participate in one of these seminars a few years ago and then again this year the fair hosted by Southern Wine & Spirits.

The presentation covers five different trees and four different wines. Participants were asked to taste wines in a suitable plant, and then move them into another. For example, Chardonnay is going to Cabernet Sauvignon Blanc Pinot KB glass windows, etc. There is a Sauvignon Blanc / Riesling glass, Chardonnay glass, Pinot Noir, Cabernet Glass, a joker and staklo.Joker This glass is a standard all-purpose glass is used that a typical glass in restaurants or household (we used the Libby glass of wine for ours). Four different wines were served wines that are typical of the varietals that should be served in these glasses. Our wines are selected:

1 Grgich Hills Fume Blanc 2008 (Sauvignon Blanc), $ 30
Second Forman Chardonnay, 2008, $ 50
Third Merry Edwards Russian River Valley Pinot Noir, 2008, $ 60
4th Whitehall Lane Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon, 2007, $ 75

the best part of this work is watching the audience reaction when the workshop will eventually receive. As participants poured Grgich in its' Joker contact glass for the first time were zapanjeni.Sjajna wine color disappeared, vanished, and aroma to surprisingly tasted watery. Even worse was the spills (Riedel) glass of Chardonnay, the wine becomes too acidic. As we went to the tasting, all participants were less willing to throw his beloved wine in the wrong glass. One of our clients said, "I'm not wasting this wine is too good!"

But why the difference? What makes it so special Riedel? Boils down to two things - Crystal shape and

.

Crystal
Vinum, Vinum Extreme, Sommeliers, grape, Vitis and Tyrol series and most decanters are made of lead crystal. (Overture, Wine, and Vivant A series does not) lead crystal creates a clearer color and flavor that enhanced the glass is actually a typical example inhibira.Dobar Lisa (Riedel) was used last night, a typical glass shelves in his house or shop ... If you look at the side of it, it creates a greenish hue. It's true color of the glass, and most true color of typical restaurant wine glasses -. And why red wine can be distorted

format
Riedel family has spent years with the world's finest wine experts to develop a perfect glass for every sorte.Oblik for a particular varietal depends on many different things, but results in a format that best enhances the aroma and taste of wine. For example, a large outdoor bulbs to Montrachet (Chardonnay) glass allows you to be a complex and wide varieties of flavors in Chardonnay, while the thin bulb of Sauvignon Blanc / Riesling glass ensures that the wine hits you right in the center of the tongue (taste buds and right) for vina.Pinot Noir and Cabernet glasses can have a larger bulb, but not as open as Montrachet game (known as 'killer' red wine), red wine, making sure that enough oxygen gets to open the wine, but with plenty of that will kill the smell.

comment that summed up the night for me came from Ivan Seligman at aninsatiableappetite.blogspot.com (who also reports to the Gulfshore Life): "If you want to earn from $ 90 bottle of wine taste like $ 9 bottle, only to serve the those regular 3-5 dollars a non-crystalline glass in your home. also, fine crystal glass Cabernet say design, paired with a so-so cabernet, will make it taste better, although not as a $ 90 bottle. "

So, for those disbelievers in the Premium (or expensive) wines, ask a question ... the last time you had that $ 50 Cabernet taste that was not better than your $ 2 buck heads - what kind of glass is used in? Is it the old thick, open bulb at the bottom of the mother's or China's cabinet as long as the server brought to the table? We do not advocate any socks home to drink wine with an expensive set of each variety certain Riedel stem, and certainly does not travel with them. But if you're one who enjoys fine wine, it's not worth the investment for only a set or two of your favorite kind of wine? Investment that will improve your favorites and bring out the best in wine, which winemaker intends to experience.

We have been in place a non-believer and met many customers (and your family and friends) who have been or are still there. But, trust us on this, an experiment stemware such as Riedel presentation is powerful and makes believers out of us.

There are hundreds if not thousands, of different varietals of red wines available throughout the world.

Merlot (Mur-LO)

We have reviewed several wines from Baron Herzog (kosher) wineries. And it goes without saying that we reviewed lots and lots of Cabernet Sauvignons, and kosher, and not. But this is the first semi-dry or should I say semi-sweet Cabernet Sauvignon that we have ever reviewed, and the best of my memory, and even tasted.

Mark recommends enjoying this wine slightly chilled. The website is not recommended by the Israeli cellaring.Drug Wine Cabernet Sauvignon at twice the price.

OUR WINE REVIEW POLICY All wines that we taste and review purchased at full retail price.

Let's start by quoting the marketing materials. Description: The vibrant purple color leads to a pretty nose, plum, prune, cherry and spice cake. Dry, ripe and round, this ready-to-drink of the ideal candidate for many of the meat and vegetables off the grill. And now for my review.

tag, said semi-dry. The marketing materials claim that it is a dry wine. The first sips of the wine is quite sweet with good body and length. It is slightly kiselosti.Početni meal was slow-cooked London broil with potatoes and chickpeas. Wines remained sweetness. It is round and quite powerful, but you like the sweetness. The potatoes add an element of sour wine and chickpeas while adding an element of tobacco. The last meal of tomatoes, onions, peppers, salsa and lime off the wine and its sweetness has become embarrassing.

next installment focuses on grilled chicken thighs, both honey and garlic, tomato based. With the first thighs The cabin is like candy, and there is some acid and plum flavor. With wine tomatoey thighs is even sweeter than before, but did not give some flavor duhana.Prilog potatoes roasted in chicken fat added to the acidity of the wine but it's still like candy. The last part of the meal was a Moroccan style carrots in cumin and sliced ​​green olives. I got more and less sugar plums, but the wine was still sweet.

My final meal was a boxer vegetarian baked Zita Sicilian style. This was the best pairing. I got the plum, sweet plum and pleasant acidity. There was some tobacco and almost no tannins. With fresh strawberries in the sweetness of wine is less objectionable. And with fruit juice candy cab is still sweet, but earthy.

Customer Reviews


I purchased these for the candy buffet at my wedding. They were very popular and delicious.

These are elegant, festive looking "jellies" that taste great (white grape). My candy buffet was white, gold and brown, so this was perfect next to the brown chocolates. The Haribo gummie grapefruit were perfect too. I ordered bulk candy from several different websites, and Amazon was by far the fastest and least expensive way to go.

A Wine Lover's Weekly Guide to $10 Wines - A Kosher Chilean Cabernet Sauvignon

0 comments

Chile can be a fine country for Cabernet Sauvignon. It does not come from the Central Valley wine growing region, the oldest and traditional wine production area of Chile. This area is divided into four areas, including the Maule Valley, which is not specifically addressed, perhaps not surprising given this wine a modest price tag. In some ways it's cheaper than at first glance because it is kosher, and kosher wine production and distribution inevitably involves additional costs. By now you probably know that kosher wines are not always super sweet. This wine is dry. Bottles from the back label states that is produced by Vina Carta Vieja and the seventh generation family winery whose first vineyards were planted 1825th But the journey to its bilingual Web site gave no indication of any wine. Please forgive me you are not calling them (I do not speak Spanish) to confirm or deny the origin.

OUR WINE REVIEW POLICY All wines that we taste and review purchased at full retail price.

Wine Reviewed
Don Alfonso Cabernet Sauvignon (V) 2009 12.5% ​​alcohol about $ 10

Let's start by quoting the marketing materials. Description: The complex is filled Cabernet aromas of blackberry, cherry and black olives. Dry, ripely fruity with subtle oak notes, with no tannins to speak, but nicely balanced, anyway. Medium length, dense and smooth surface. Grilled steak is called. And now for my review.

The first sips of this wine I have oak and dark fruit, but the wine was gone very quickly. His first pairing was with a slow cooked beef ribs with potatoes in a savory sauce. This cabin is a chewy and mouth filling. It was a cordial flavored with black licorice. I also enjoyed a salad made ​​of carrots, hearts of palm, chickpeas, Lebanese cucumbers, red peppers, corn, and canned. This delicious salad softened and extended wine.

next meal was boxed parmiagana eggplant I have coffee with grated Parmesan. This Cabernet Sauvignon showed a light acidity and lots of oak. It was barely noticeable round tannins and a cherry, tobacco and čokolada.Vino is refreshing, but not powerful.

My ultimate meal is beef broth with a wooden slanutak.Vino with dark black cherries. She presented a good balance between tannins and acidity.

Prior to the traditional two cheeses I've enjoyed some Schmaltz Herring in oil instead of the more common vinegar pripremi.Kabina tasted black cherries and a slightly sweet with some oak. Together with local Provolone, wine is a little rough with light acidity and black cherries. With tasty Swiss wine is round, but not very strong.

final judgment. This wine is definitely worth buying again. Not all couples were alright, but many of them were and the price was right, even more so if you are looking for kosher wine. Many people will appreciate the relative lack of tannins, somewhat unusual for Cabernet Sauvignon.

Merlot - The Tasmanian Merlot wines are really soft, ripen fast and come from the dark blue grapes. The vital aspect of this wine is its fleshy in taste. You will not locate this sort of fleshy taste in other wines from dark blue grapes.

Chardonnay - The Chardonnay is yet another kind of white wine from the region that comes from green-skinned grapes. With powerful flavour, the Chardonnay is different from other white wines, as they do not release any bubble. Therefore, they do not fall in the category of sparkler like Riesling.

Gewurztraminer - Whilst the Gewurztraminer by name sounds considerably German, its origin is in France. The Gewurztraminer denotes a particular group of wines as it can take the colours of each Red and White.

Riesling - The Tasmanian Riesling wines have superb flavours and high level of acidity. It comes from white grapes that are not much sweet. It also belongs to the sparkler wine class.

Shiraz and the Red Wines of Australia

0 comments

Australian wine industry produces about 60 percent of white wine and 30 percent red. However, Shiraz and red wines such as Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot are the ones that seem to be more attention Chardonnay and other leading white wines Australian wines when they are talking about.

Cabernet Sauvignon is one of the principal grape in the country and said that an elite. This fruit makes a delicious and powerfully structured wine that is at the same time, podatnom.Mala Coonawarra region in South Australia is home to the finest wines Cabernet Sauvignon. District famed red, lime-laced soil and its perfect grape growing climate are responsible for the wine richness and excellent strukture.Kabina is often blended with Merlot.

Merlot has a flavor that is very similar to Cabernet Sauvignon. Perhaps this is why it is mixed with the cab very often. The board will have a mix of cherry, dark berries, plums, Cassis, chocolate and, from time to time, and even leather. It is grown in many regions in Australia, except in areas that are faced with an extremely cold climate. Best Merlot is sourced from vineyards in the Adelaide Hills, Eden Valley and Coonawarra.

Shiraz wines seductive, jammy and filling, and packed with fruit flavors. His lineage leads among all the other red grapes in the country and is the same as the French Syrah. Nobody really knows how it came to have a unique name in Australia. However, to date, the name Syrah is used only in France and all other countries that produce red grapes, except in Australia and South Africa.

Examples of the finest bottle of wine from the Henschke Eden Valley, Mitchelton from Goulborn Valley and Rosemount Estate from McLaren Vale. But the extraordinary name which would hear would be knowledgeable to tell Peter Lehmann, and, of course, Penfolds Grange - as distinguished from the South Australian wine regions of Barossa Valley

Shiraz red wines are also used in the country the best Port-type wines and Rhone-style blend which is blended with Grenache and mourvedre - two all important grape in the country that are doing well as varietals and as blends.

Grenache, grown mainly in the Barossa Valley and McLaren Vale, it is usually extremely rich and fruity. It would fill his mouth with the taste of berries, pepper and spices. Mourvedre, Grenache and can also be seen mainly in the Barossa Valley and McLaren Vale. While it also has a fruity taste, his earthy and gamey flavor can be tasted very good.

and Shiraz red wines are definitely among the passions of Australia.

Customer Reviews


Having never made wine before, we decided to give it a try, mainly because of the price of this kit. Once we purchased the wine-making equipment (fermenter, carboy, siphons, air locks, hydrometer, etc) from a home-brew supply company, we were ready to make this wine. We used Midwest Homebrewing and Winemaking Supply ([...]) for the equipment package. They have a starter kit that is reasonably priced. I would also recommend purchasing a wine thief (to take samples with) and a container to hold your samples in when testing them, in addition to an auto siphon and maybe some oak chips for this kit. All in all, we spent about $60 on the equipment we needed to use this wine kit.
Having read reviews about this wine-kit company's wines being "watery" I decided to make 5 gallons instead of 6. Later, I read that this can be VERY tricky with kits because they are specifically tailored for that particular volume of wine. Maybe I got lucky, but our batch came out pretty good. I also added some extra tannin, a little citric acid and I soaked some oak chips in it during the final phase. I was careful to keep everything sterile (with the sterilizer that came with my equipment package- never use bleach or other household chemicals on wine equipment) and I also paid attention to the fermentation temperature, having read that two of the most important things in home winemaking are sterilization and temperature.
I just bottled 23 bottles of this wine a couple of days ago and we drank the 1/2 bottle that was left over. It tastes like an inexpensive table wine you'd get in a restaurant in Italy or France. Nothing special, so far. However, I've read that even a few months of aging in the bottle can do wonders for these kit wines so I'm eager to see how it tastes later this year. As of bottling it was clear (no haze) and had a nice, light raspberry color to it. It was semi-dry with lots of fruit undertones; decent legs and an okay nose. There was a faint hint of oak, probably from the chips, which soaked in the carboy for about 5 days before bottling.
All-in-all, I've paid more for wine that wasn't as good. I've already started my second batch (a Vinter's Reserve kit purchased locally) and today I started a small batch made from organic grape juice purchased at the grocery store (we'll see what happens there).
Warning, wine making can become addictive- it's one part science, one part art. I'd recommend this kit to a beginner who doesn't want to invest the $100 in a higher-end kit. Good luck!

I liked the wine overall, so does my gf so that helps too. I thought it was a bit bubbly but maybe I didnt stir out the bubbles enough. Decent body and is definatly worth the money you pay for it and the lables are very good. Not something you could make up easily by yourself.

Customer Reviews


Here is the next in a series of Kristian Regále, look to the sidebar on the right to find the others.
Almost clear, it just has the tiniest yellow tint to it, lots of tiny bubbles adhere to the sides of the glass, and there is no foam on top. Pretty strong carbonation. It's definitely got a green apple taste to it, and is ever so slightly bitter due to the carbonation. I think it's sweeter than the peach, but it has a tangy, sour taste also. It's good, a little more acidic than most juices, just like all the other Kirstian Regále's we've tried. We had it with tilapia ; pesto. It's actually a lot like a Green Apple Jolly Rancher, but not as sweet.
It paired very well with the food, which is always a good sign, and I think it pairs well with lots of lighter meals.
Did I like it: Yes, 7 out of 10.
