Planning a Wine Theme Wedding

If you and your partner are in the process of planning your wedding, and both of you love wine, you might want to consider a Wine theme wedding. There are many options for you that will help make your Wine theme wedding the best day of your life. First, you must choose the location for the ceremony and reception. For a Wine theme wedding, a winery is the best choice because it offers great views, timeless beauty, and tranquility for your guests and your loved one. Wineries usually have the resources to accommodate your party, all you have to do is ask! Indoor weddings can even be accommodated if the winery has a large tasting room.

Second, you must choose the food to be served to your guests. For a Wine theme wedding, you can choose foods that are great with your favorite wines, or choose foods that complement a variety of wines, including red, white, and blush wines. Red wines usually get served with red meats or Italian marinara dishes. Ros? wines are usually paired with seafood and salad. White meats and seafood can be served with white wines. Your cocktail hour before the reception can include a wine tasting. If you are not serving dinner at your Wine theme wedding, just choose wines that complement your hors d'oeuvres or a dessert wine for your wedding cake.

Invitations to your Wine theme wedding are important. You can design them with grape or wine glass images, giving your guests a hint at your theme. Wedding colors can also include deep purple, burgundy, or off-white which complement the colors of typical red and white wines. Bridesmaids' dresses, napkins, tablecloths, guest favors, bouquets, centerpieces, and even the bride's dress can include these colors at your Wine theme wedding.

Diamond Creek -


"From the 5-acre Gravelly Meadow Vineyard, the 2002 Californian Diamond Creek Cabernet Sauvignon (the 30th vintage of this wine) exhibits a deep ruby/purple color in addition to a smoky, Graves-like nose of earth, hot rocks, and sweet currant and cherry fruit. Medium to full-bodied, with undeniable elegance and sweet, pure fruit, this beauty benefits immensely from 60 minutes of aeration. This dry red wine is spicy, impressively concentrated, and long, but promises to age nicely for 10-15 years." RP - 90 (Subject to Availability) DCGM02 DCGM02

I love the soft, seductive wines of summer, wines that are lighter, less tannic, higher in acid, less oaky and lower in alcohol than the weighty wines of fall and winter. Yet selecting lighter-weight red wines for summer sipping can be tricky.

One could argue that visiting a winery is all about tasting the wine. But visitors often remember a tasting room best by the people they talk to while there.

The Benefits Of Using A Wine Cellar Rack

Wine cellar racks undoubtedly add a polished touch to any person's home wine collection. These practical storage devices can accommodate any number of wine bottles, from a few that are to be enjoyed by couples on special occasions, or hundreds for the more serious wine connoisseur.

Wine cellar racks can be fixed onto a kitchen wall as a space-saving and practical measure or be stacked on top of each other in a true aging setting in the basement of your house. Whatever your levels of wine consumption, a storage rack can be the answer to your storage problems.

Wine cellar racks have a distinct advantage over most other forms of bottle storage because you can tailor them to suit your individual taste and decor. You can buy many different styles and colors as well as sizes to convert any available space into a practical and stylish wine storage area.

Wine storage units are extremely easy to use and require little or no construction. Just place the racks where you want them and begin to fill it with your favorite bottles of wine.

The taste of any bottle of wine, regardless of type or age, benefits from being properly stored. By far the most convenient and effective method of storage is by laying the bottles on their side. The main reason for this method of storage is to prevent any sediment in the wine from settling at the bottom of the bottle. This is what inevitably happens when a wine bottle is left standing vertically for a long period of time.

A horizontal storage unit enables this to be done easily and efficiently. The corks in wine bottles can often dry out, especially if not placed on their sides and this leads to more breakage when the wine is eventually opened.

Apart from the benefits that wine cellar racks give to the wine itself they also have numerous benefits for the wine buyer and drinker. You can also organize your wine to suit your preference, either using one rack for a variety of bottles, or numerous racks for larger wine collections. This can help locating that special bottle far easier than having to move hundreds of bottles around that have been stored without a wine rack.

Even if you like to buy more expensive bottles of wine, you needn't spend a fortune on your storage. Wine cellar racks are very reasonably priced. Due to the variety of types available there is sure to be one to suit any pocket. The amount of space that you need for a wine cellar rack is also far less than that needed for storing wine bottles without one.

Of course, most people have seen wine cellar racks in their favorite restaurant or on television in grand houses. They are now far more widely available and not reserved for the wealthy wine collector or restaurant owner. You can purchase one in many different outlets and can buy a bottle, or case, of wine whenever you want without having to worry about where you are going to store it.
