Perhaps one of the most troubling problems which usually occurs that takes the enjoyment out of having a glass of wine is when even though your glasses are clean, look very foggy. We have all encountered it at one time or another and probably all can agree that there is something detracting about a foggy wine glass. Before you decide to throw out your glasses or invest in a set of inexpensive ones with the thought that fogging is inevitable so you might as well be ready to throw them away when the time comes, there are a few things that you can do to prevent fogging and bring back the glorious sparkle and shine to foggy glasses that you remember from when they were first purchased.

I know that some think that it's perfectly all right to put wine glasses in the dishwasher, and some machines even have special sections on the top rack to hold wine glass stems in place. We all know that crystal should never be put in the dishwasher, so I assume said stem holders are for everyday glasses. My dishwasher has them and I still won't use it to wash wine glasses. Why? There are two main reasons for this, the first is that dishwasher detergent tends to be a lot more harsh and abrasive and can etch your wine glasses making it fog with repeated washing, and second is that the temperature in a dishwasher can become so hot that it can actually cause a glass to crack.
With that being said, when washing wine glasses by hand the best method is actually quite simple, especially since you should be able to simply rinse out yours glasses to clean them. First, it is important to remember to use lukewarm water and not hot water. Abrasive cleaning agents should be avoided at all costs; and if you feel the need to use soap it is best to only use mild liquid dish soap. Remember to never use hard scrubbing sponges and cloths and to rinse the glasses thoroughly or the soap will leave a film deposit which will fog with build up and time and thus defeats the purpose of taking care when washing your glasses.
If you have taken care of your glasses and hand-washed them and still find they are starting to fog, there is still something you can do. Soak the foggy glasses in straight white vinegar for two to three hours. Then wash with warm water and mild liquid dish soap and repeat the soaking process if necessary to remove the remaining residue. It might be a bit of a time consuming process, but it will be worth it in the end when you have sparkling glasses that look beautiful!

Chateau Cos d'Estournel
"The 1986 Chateau Cos d'Estournel is a highly extracted dry red wine, with a black/ruby color and plenty of toasty, smoky notes in its bouquet that suggest ripe plums and licorice. Evolving at a glacial pace, this Bordeaux exhibits massive, huge, ripe, extremely concentrated flavors with impressive depth and richness. This wine from France possesses more power, weight, and tannin than the more opulent and currently more charming 1985. Anticipated maturity: 1996-2010. Great gift!"

Price: 295.99 USD

Lesson 5.75: Introduction to the “Big Six” wine grapes
Wed, 01 Oct 2008 14:53:45 PDT
Anyone who has walked into a wine shop for the first time has felt it: brain overload. There are literally hundreds (or more, depending on the size of inventory) of different wines. The mind simply cannot begin to absorb all of the data. There are red wines, white wines, pink wines, French wines, Merlots, Ports, sparkling wines, cheap wines, expensive wines, big bottles, small bottles, boxes of wine, even perhaps a wine in a soda-type can. No wonder so many would-be wine drinkers say, “Screw i

2005 Marius 750ML
Wed, 01 Oct 2008 13:33:27 PDT
Price: $64.99 - Everything about Marius is special. It's a family-run estate from Frederic Engerer, director and winemaker of Chateau Latour who named the wine as a tribute to his grandfather. The vineyard, located in Languedoc-Roussillon, is made up of Cabernet Sauvignon cuttings Engerer brought from Chateau Latour's nursery. 2005 is the second vintage of this juicy, well-composed, medium to full-bodied red. There are a mere 280 cases of this striking southern take on a sophisticated Paulliac.
