The Benefits Of A Modular Wine Rack


As the popularity of wine continues to rise, more and more people have made it a point to become educated wine enthusiasts; trying different wines with different meals and keeping those bottles they find the most enjoyable on hand. The storage of wine can be a space challenge, but it can also poise a design challenge. So, for savvy wine connoisseurs, combining form and function is the key to successfully displaying their wine. For them, using a wine rack is the most space efficient, visually appealing, and cost-effective method of display.

There are many wine racks on the market today, of all sizes and materials. But for many wine consumers, the modular wine rack makes the most sense when it comes to displaying their collection. The biggest benefit of the modular wine rack is its ability to grow your collection. While you may just beginning your love affair with wine, as you learn more and experience different types of wine, you may choose to add more bottles to your collection. A modular wine rack ? while it may start with space consideration for just a half-dozen bottles ? can be added on to as your collection grows. This can also be enormously helpful for price considerations. It may not be necessary to spend the money for a large wine rack with space for fifty bottles when your wine collection is in its infancy. With a modular wine rack, you can add as you go, keeping pace with your interest and collection ? and, in so doing, your budget can be paced as well.

A modular wine rack is generally a floor piece that can sit against a wall. As it grows, it is wise to securely bolt the wine rack to the wall behind it as it can pose serious dangers should it tip over onto someone. If you have children in the home, it is doubly important that you mind this risk.

You can find a modular wine rack in a variety of styles ? from wood to wrought iron ? and in a variety of places. Most large home improvement retail stores have a selection of wine racks, as do some home furnishing stores. You can also find listings for a modular wine rack online where you can even purchase one and have it shipped straight to your door. You?ll find that the modular wine rack is quite simple to put together with some common household tools.

The modular wine rack performs the dual function of organizing your wine bottles and displaying them beautifully. With the added benefit of adding on to its frame, you?ll be able to enjoy it for years to come.

2007 Weingut Michlits Frizzante Blanc de Pinot Noir

Thu, 31 Jul 2008 00:27:37 PDT
What enticed me to buy this wine was not the fact that it was organic/biodynamic but just the simple fact that is was a Frizzante Rose. I very much enjoy Rose and thought that a bit of effervescence in it would also be quite enjoyable. I have had other Rose Sparkling Wines, but they have usually had the usual level of carbonation like a Champagne. Sometimes I want a bit less carbonation, though more than a still wine. The 2007 Weingut Michlits Frizzante Blanc de Pinot Noir (about $17) is made

Celebrating 10 years together at ubuntu in Napa.

Yesterday, Ryan & I celebrated 10 years as a couple! We kicked things off by exchanging gifts at midnight, due mainly to impatience, but it was a fun way to start the festivities. I was floored & impressed by the matching "Key to My Heart" necklace & bracelet I received; it's very much like a tattoo I recently added to my love themed collection with a heart padlock to Ryan's key. Less sentimental, but still fun, I gave Ryan the gift of Rock Band, which has already distracted us from

The real soldiers in the battle for frozen dessert affections make ice cream with real butterfat, not some mamby pamby imitation with ingredients you need a chemistry degree to pronounce.

Restaurant Wine List Review - Wine Taste, Why Keep It a Secret?


We?re your customers. That?s right, we pay your bills ? so listen up. Why can?t we understand your wine list? We know what we like, but your wine list doesn?t give us a clue. Ok, so we?re not wine knowledgeable, don?t hate us because we?d still like some wine that we?ll enjoy. We really like wine, especially with a good meal. But we don?t want to study the stuff so we can understand your wine list and know how a wine will taste.

Count these up: 1) County of Origin, 2) Producer, 3) Vintage date, 4) Appellation, 5) Variety of Grape, 6) Vineyard, and 7) season the grapes were picked (Ice Wine, Late Harvest, etc.). That?s right, seven items of information must be catalogued and understood to give us a chance at knowing what a wine tastes like when reading your traditional wine list. Keep six of these, change the seventh, and all bets are off on how the wine will taste. We get as confused as a blind dog in a meat house.

If you hear a lot of us saying, ?Just give me a glass of your house white,? you have a wine list problem. Hey, we?re not too cheap to buy a bottle of wine; we just don?t want to make a sizeable investment in a bottle we may not like. So why keep us in the dark, trying to decipher your wine list code? Why not tell us how the wine tastes, and we?ll pop for a bottle or two.

Expensive restaurants once solved this problem with a sommelier whose job it was to discern our taste preference, analyze the menu we?ve ordered, and recommend a wine we would enjoy with our meal. There are precious few qualified sommeliers around these days, especially in affordable restaurants. When your wait staff recommends, it?s usually wines they like.

The only thing worse than a traditional wine list is one with ?winese? puffery descriptions.
Example: ?This wine has hints of dark tree fruit, root vegetable, autumn leaves, pears, berries and vanilla, with a strong finish of cigar box.? Amazing! Do you have something that tastes like wine?

In January of 1980, Grey Moss Inn in Grey Forrest, Texas, implemented the ?Customer Friendly Wine List.? Customers could order wines by the way they taste for the first time ever. The wine list was divided into categories:

1) Slightly Sweet, 2) Light, Soft, 3) Light, Crisp, Fruity, 3) Fuller, Rounded, Dry,
4) Elegance, Finesse, 5) Robust, Complex, Full Flavored 6) After Dinner Sweet

Red, white and rose wines all appeared in most categories. Some wines like Chardonnay and Cabernet Sauvignon appeared under as many as three categories. As customers, we knew that by staying within a category we could be experimental ordering wine and still enjoy our selection.

Jill Goolden published the book, The Taste of Wine, around 1990 , and about a decade later Fiona Beckett published Wines by Style. The thesis of these books is to classify wine by how it tastes, rather than the seven criteria above. These books led to a rash of wine lists offering up their contents by taste profile ? but these glimmering lights seem to be flickering out.

If you lack the confidence to develop a wine list for your restaurant that lets us order wines by the way they taste, hire a qualified wine consultant, or work closely with your vendors to achieve your goal. Then watch your wines sales grow from glasses to bottles, as we feel comfortable ordering from your list.

Before air conditioning, ice cubes and electric fans, there was Sangria. The wine punch has been a cooler for Spaniards for several centuries.
