A Guide to Wine Racks
It is a clich that wines get better with age. How a wine ages will depend on how the wine is stored. Wine racks are a simple way to store unopened wines for the short-term.It is a clich that wines get better with age. How a wine ages will depend on how the wine is stored. Wine racks are a simple way to store unopened wines for the short-term.
Never put the wine rack on top of the refrigerator. All wines should be stored someplace cool. Find a spot in your house that stays about the same cool temperature year-round. The basement, so long as it is consistently cool, makes a nice place to store your wines. You could also put the wine rack in an interior closet. These storage places are not glamorous, but they keep the wines taste. Also make sure the wine will not be vibrated, another reason not to keep it on the refrigerator. Dont store the wine next to anything with a strong odor, which could overwhelm the wines flavor. Wine racks also keep the wine bottle horizontal, tipping the wine to the cork. Keeping the cork wet helps the wine keep.
Once you have a place to store your wine rack, you can have fun picking one out. Metal wine racks match any dcor and there are hundreds from which to choose. Metal wine racks have a variety of styles. You can buy classical wine racks made from wrought iron, or more contemporary wine racks made from chrome or steel. Metal wine racks can stand alone, form a table, or be hung. Metal wine racks can cost between $25 and several hundred dollars. Wooden wine racks are just as diverse as metal wine racks. Small wooden wine racks hold three bottles, large wine racks around 50. Wooden wine racks for sale can form a table, be a storage chest, stand alone, or be functional stackable boxes. Wooden wine racks cost between $40 and several hundred dollars. If you cannot afford a cellar and would like to expertly store wines, invest in a freestanding, temperature-controlled wine rack.
Look for different styles of wine racks online or at home stores. You can also build your own simple wine rack. Instructions are available online.

Eliade - Zinfandel
Known locally as Primitivo, the grapes for this 100% IGT Tarrantino Zinfandel come from 80-year-old vines that have benefited from the region's deep red earth. New Barrique ageing has helped the Eliade acheive a level of richness not usually seen in most southern Italian Zinfandels. Full of dark, sumptous fruit, the 2001 Eliade Zinfandel is perfect for grilled red meat, the heartiest pasta dishes and strong, sharp cheeses. This dry red wine from Italy is a perfect gift!

The $93.5 million Robert Mondavi Institute for Wine and Food Science has opened its doors at the University of California at Davis.

Quinoa, Cucumber and Tomato Salad
Mon, 20 Oct 08 06:01:00 -0700
Okay, boys and girls (but probably mostly girls), get out your notebooks and pencils. You are going to need to take notes on today's lesson: Quinoa. Quinoa is a seed. But because of it's characteristics, it can be used as a grain. It is an excellent source of protein. Quinoa also boasts high levels of fiber, making it easy to digest. Since it is such a complete food, it is on the list of things NASA wants to grow in space for the space station. Quinoa has a natural protective coating tha
Stories by Edgar Allan Poe
Mon, 20 Oct 08 06:00:56 -0700
In my mind, Edgar Allan Poe is the most well-known Halloween-ish short story writer. To keep with the season, I reread some of Poe’s short stories. I enjoyed his stories when I was younger - I even rewrote “The Fall of the House of Usher” as a play for my high school’s Halloween “one-act plays.” But to my surprise, I didn’t love Poe’s writing or his stories’ subject matter this time around. I’ve stopped liking Halloween and the concept of “scary stories,” but I was still disappointed by Poe. I

Rutherford Ranch 2005 Napa Valley Merlot has bright, inviting aromas of cranberry, black currant and succulent blueberry wrapped around rich, dark chocolate and vanilla. This medium-body wine opens with fresh blackberry and cranberry laced with flavors of creamy mocha and dried cherry.

Easy and Delicious Garlic Shrimp Recipe
Mon, 20 Oct 08 05:30:04 -0700
Garlic shrimp is one of the easiest things in the world to make, and believe it or not, a great weeknight meal because it all cooks up so quickly. It’s all in the timing, though. Get everything ready to go ahead of time, have it all set out in your work space, and that way, you can add it to the pan without having to run around the kitchen. Otherwise, you’ll end up with rubbery overcooked shrimp, instead of the tender little morsels that they are. This recipe is adapted from an old friend’s
An Affordable, Stylish Sonoma Coast Pinot Noir
Mon, 20 Oct 08 05:30:00 -0700
It will come as no surprise to anyone who reads this blog regularly that I love Sonoma Coast Pinot Noir. I love its style, its class, and the way that the cool growing temperatures seem to give the wines a depth and complexity that make them wonderful dinner companions.I don't drink as much Sonoma Coast Pinot Noir as I would like to, however, because wines from this region--especially wines made with the world's most finicky grape--can cost a pretty penny. So it's always a great discovery when I
Barcelona - Barcelona, Catalonia, Spain and Canary Islands
Mon, 20 Oct 08 05:10:38 -0700
Jump to the full entry & travel map Barcelona, Catalonia, Spain and Canary Islands 7/10- 17/10 Well it was a long way to get all the way down to Barcelona, but it ended up being a really nice 4 days we spent there. We saw a NZ camper van so parked up next to them in the camp site, and by the end of the first arvo an Aussie Talbot had pulled up behind us. That night we ended up having a few drinks with Joel and Mel and Tanya and Brendon and their two little girls. The Night was fun and we
