Red Wine Pairings with Andrea

admin — Sun, 02 Oct 2011 17:19:59 +0000

In this segment of “Pairing with Andrea” she features a rich red wine paired with a wonderful dish. Her choice is a red wine by Hess of California, a Hess Select Cabernet Sauvignon.

Andrea loves the sweetness and the power of the deep berry fruit in this Cabernet Sauvignon. The ripe plum, raspberry and flavors of caramel make this red wine a perfect fit for a variety of food pairings.

Cheers!

Twitter Wines for Charity

admin — Sun, 18 Oct 2009 00:32:59 +0000

The big news in the wine industry this week is about the social network, Twitter. Twitter is getting into the wine industry by partnering with Crushpad and launching two wines on the Fledgling Wine label for charity. The chosen charity is Room to Read, a San Francisco-based non-profit organization that is focused on education and establishing schools and libraries for children in developing countries.

Fledgling Wine and Twitter will work with Crushpad to make a Pinot Noir and a Chardonnay. Five dollars from every $20 bottle sold will go to Room to Read. Room to Read is a wonderful charity that has already established over 700 schools and has supplied over 7,000 libraries with more than 5.7 million books.

The release date for Twitter’s Wine is planned for Fall 2010, because the wine is currently in the fermentation process, but you can follow news and updates at FledglingWine.Com, and of course Tweets on Twitter.

Twitter is really involved in the process. In later September, the Twitter team went to Crushpad to help sort the Pinot Noir grapes from Doctor’s Vineyard, and they posted the visit in this YouTube video.

It’s nice to see Twitter using it’s social networking power for a good cause, while bringing new wine to marketplace. It’s a win/win all the way around.

Cheers!

Unique Wine Racks

admin — Wed, 30 Sep 2009 14:10:59 +0000

Search volume on the Web is very high for wine racks. There are literally thousands of styles and sizes of wine racks to choose from. Everything from a single bottle gravity-defying wood wine stand, which is very new and different, to electric cooling wine racks, or large wine racks that hold hundreds of bottles. No matter how large or small your wine arsenal, there is probably the perfect wine rack out there for you.

This is a nice one. It’s a wooden wine rack which holds 44 bottles, and it’s made of unfinished pine. It’s nice because it’s a natural pine wood wine rack and it has a sleek foot print. This contemporary wine rack can easily accent your kitchen, hallway or living room.

Serious wine lovers will appreciate this freestanding wine rack because it makes the most out of your storage space; measuring 40.5″h x 17″w x 10.5″d and it holds bottles that are up to 3.25″ in diameter. The unfinished natural wood can be stained or varnished to complement any decor.

Whether you have an extensive wine cellar or a modest collection of your favorite vintages, you’ll enjoy having easy access to your wines.

Cheers!

What’s the Best Wine for Around $15?

admin — Tue, 22 Sep 2009 01:19:59 +0000

Red is preferred – full-bodied and dark. If it really is worth the money I *may* be willing to spend $1-15 more. More than one suggestion is appreciated, as are reviews.
Hogue 2003 Genesis Cabernet Sauvignon This is a spicy wine with anise, clove and coffee bean accenting its bright fresh cherry and raspberry fruit flavors. It is a rich, full-bodied, expressive wine that still shows some finesse with fine, almost powdery tannins and well-integrated oak. Tobacco and black pepper linger on the finish. Pair this wine with grilled tri-tip steak, aged cheeses or dark chocolate. ($13.99) De Martino 2005 Organic Cabernet Sauvignon Cabernet Sauvignon grapes are blended with Malbec and Carmenère grapes to produce a deep red wine with violet hues and an intense aroma of blackberry, cherries and truffle. Great volume and cherry flavor. Aged in oak barrels for 12 months. Serve with pasta, red meat, and aged cheese. ($11.99)

Cheers!
