The rule of thumb: white wine with chicken or fish, red with meat,doesn't take into account a meal's layers of flavors or the distinctive flavor differences among red and white wines. Some wine experts say the right wine is a matter of personal preference. People have differnet taste buds.

Balloon glasses are used for red wine, since that is served at room temperature. The bowl of the glass should be held in your hand. On the contrary white wine is served chilled, and you would hold that glass by the stem so as not to get your warm hands on the bowl holding the wine.

Many people with even just a basic understanding of wine know that there are certain "rules" about what is and is not proper when it comes to your menu and your choice of red or white, specifically, red meat means red wine, and everything else means white. But what's the real difference between these two choices... The Rancillio espresso machine is without question a truly authentic Italian machine.

Actually, there is more than one style stem intended for red wine and some, like the Burgundy style glass, are oversized. The standard red wine glass is only a couple ounces larger than a regular white wine glass, but the shape is vastly different. Red wine should be served at room temperature. Therefore, it should be held by the bowl to keep the wine at the appropriate temperature.

This question is similar to the one above — a calculator is necessary. One ton of grapes (2,000 pounds) yields approximately 165 gallons (624.5 Liters) of wine. 2,000 lbs/624.5 Liters = x lbs/0.750 liters x=2.40 pounds per bottle. 2.40 pounds is about nine clusters of grapes, and nine clusters is about 500 individual grapes. The question I have heard most often is . . . “Do you stomp the grapes with your feet?” This is usually followed by . . . “Like Lucy?”

There are four major types of wine: red, white, rosé (or blush), and champagne. As far as dining is concerned, we are going to focus only on the first two types since champagne is its own animal. Color is the first and easiest distinguishing feature of wine. As we hinted at earlier, the main difference between red and white wine is that grape juice used to make red wine contains skins, seeds, and stems.

Red wine stains are easiest to remove if they are still wet. If you can't deal with the problem immediately, lay a wet towel over the carpet area or put the affected clothing to soak until you can treat it. The following methods work almost all of the time: Wine Away Red Wine Stain Remover - This is by far the most effective product we have found.

No. More then one average size serving is abuse. Switching types of alcohol to control drinking is an example of denial, a common pattern of rationalization among alcohol dependent individuals.

The most obvious answer has been a question—why is any wine left in the bottle to go bad? The proper answer has been to do exactly as we do in the tasting room—which is to fill the empty space with an inert gas such as nitrogen or argon, and put the cork back in the bottle. The other method is to remove all of the air from the bottle (a vacuum), so the air doesn’t oxidize the wine and spoil it. I still think the first answer works the best!

Sorry, but no. Hattie's right downstairs has a full bar. You're welcome to step out for a drink during intermission, but you can't drink any alcohol here. Top

We are unable to accept card payments over the phone. You can call in person to purchase a bottle of wine and we can present it at the table on your behalf. Alternatively, you may consider giving our Gift Vouchers.

The customer must provide the bottle. Dark bottles work best, such as dark green, and try if you can to find a bottle where the seams do not go right down the middle where the labels are (all bottles have seams, but try to find one where they are not as prominent.) The bottle must be plain glass as well, nothing with any kind of coating or frosting already on the bottle. We will take off the front, back or both labels for you. Etching on bottles can be colored gold or silver.

Everything is done on-site. We have our own crush/production facility and our own bottling line. This allows us to bottle the wine as each small lot is sufficiently aged, rather than when it's convenient for a mobile bottling line.

It depends on how you store the wine once it’s been opened. Refrigerating an open bottle will prolong its life, as will using a vacuum pump sealer. It’s bets to enjoy the wine within a few days of opening to ensure you experience all the intended fruit flavors and aromas.

The white layer is yeast, and is present in all home brewed beer that has been naturally carbonated by the action of the yeast eating priming sugar. Although it will not hurt you, and is full of vitamin B, it does taste yeasty. Decant the beer off the yeast sediment into a glass to avoid picking up the yeast sediment.

Observational studies have shown lower risk of cardiovascular events in patients who regularly drink red wine. Since these early observations, several studies have suggested that it may be just the alcohol that confers these benefits, although there may be some benefit in the grape as well. Males who have two drinks a day and women who have one drink (beer - 12 ounces, wine - 5 ounces, liquor - 1 ounce) had a heart disease risk reduction of 30 to 50%.

Red wine contains antioxidants, especially when made from pinot noir grapes. Burgundy, Bordeaux and grapes grown in Chilean valleys are especially rich them. Although these antioxidants have been linked with helping to lower the rate of heart disease, it is actually the alcohol in red wine which helps to relax blood vessel walls and has this potentially protective effect. This means that beer, spirits and other alcoholic drinks have the same effects and therefore are also 'good' for the heart.

A large number of studies have been conducted to try to determine what ingredient in alcoholic beverages results in a reduced risk of heart disease. As a result of these studies we now know that it is not the colour, type or brand of the beverage but the alcohol itself that is associated with reduced risk of heart attack or certain types of strokes. Any form of alcohol may help your heart; it doesn't have to be wine.
