Iron and Wine – Such Great Heights
Posted by admin | Under Wine Friday Mar 5, 2010What is a cheap and decent tasting wine to serve at a wedding?
Posted by admin | Under Wine Thursday Mar 4, 2010I don’t want to spend more than $10 a bottle of wine if possible.
We will be serving the wine out of carafe’s so if you suggest boxed wine that is fine too–they will not know, unless they are Wine connoisseur. And yes, I realize you can get much better wine for a higher price, but I don’t want to spend $50 for a bottle of wine.
I’m planning on serving wine with cheese before the whole reception gets started.
I am simply amazed that almost all of the answerers until me wrote answers that seem to suggest that they are and you are assumed to be American!!! Like so many other questions. Don’t they know that the English version of Answers is reachable and read by all the computers in the English speaking countries listed below, most of which have their own dollar as unit of currency, and many computers in the other coutries as well? Their attitude really bothers me.
Anyway, to answer your question, I assume because you say you will have it with cheese you are looking for a red wine. Certainly if you are going to serve it in carafe buy boxed varietal or varietal blend wine, and save. Some of them are very good, especially many from Australia and South Africa (a few "jugs" from California, too) and they are getting better all the time because the world has a wine glut at present. Most better off-licenses in the U.K., Australia,, S.A. and the USA will have good selections, and many of Canada’s provincial monopolies as well (though more expensive there). But stay away from the new tetra packs. Every one I have tasted was just awful. Also, if you choose a Californian wine be careful about the alcohol – for some reason Californians are making more wine with higher alcohol that hits you like a hammer.
And for your future dinners don’t assume a $50 bottle is always going to be better than a $ 10 bottle. It’s not so.

jeff buckley!How do you make White Wine and Red Wine? Do you use different types of grapes?
Posted by admin | Under Wine Tuesday Mar 2, 2010My Mom is in the Wine Business and she always brings home half empty bottles of wine and I always wonder What you do to make White Wine, and Red Wine. Do you add artificial coloring? Thanks!
I Never got around my mom to ask. She is always working.
with red wine the reason it is red is the "juice"’s contact with the skin of the red grape. White wine can be made from red grapes it just doesn’t have contact with skin during the crushing process. There are white grape veriatals that are green or pale yellow in color (semillion Sauv Blanc, Cheinin Blanc, Chardonay)

Top 100 Most Successful Acts The Book Of British Hit Singles & Albums has unveiled their annual list of the Top 100 Most Successful Acts Of All Time. No dodgy voting, no committee of music industry experts, no dubious sudden last minute changes, this one is based on actually hits.
The annual Top 100 rates itself as the most definitive and genuine list of its kind as its based solely on the total number of weeks each contender has spent on the official UK Singles and Albums charts and not on arbitrary voting.
The artists are ordered according to who has spent the most weeks on the combined official UK singles and albums charts, and the list represents more than 50 years of chart music from 1952 to the present day.
Big news this year? Well, Oasis have finally overtaken Status Quo (at 25 and 26 respectively) and surprisingly Queen have moved ahead of The Beatles (with Madonna
very close behind).
The biggest jumps are by Kylie whos gone up 13 places to 42, and Stereophonics who are the highest rising group in the Top 100, up 13 places to 71. And as rumours of his retirement from music continued to circulate, Eminem has the honour of being the highest new act to enter the chart at 86.
The full list (with last years placings in brackets) is:
1 (1) Elvis Presley
2 (2) Cliff Richard

What kind of wine should I order for a winter lunch date?
Posted by admin | Under Wine Sunday Feb 28, 2010I have a date at a wine and cheese restaurant this week. I live in Florida and the place is outside. It’s not cold at all yet, but I was wondering what type of wine is appropriate for the season so that I can look classy and educated.
Additional info: I don’t like super dry Wines or tart wines.
I will probably get a salad with grilled chicken in addition to a cheeseboard that includes 3-4 cheeses, bread and fruit.
if you don’t want to go super dry or tart – try going with a Russian River Valley Pinot Noir – something from a cooler climate – if you want a red (will go well with a cheese sampler)
if you want a white and don’t want to ultra dry – you can go with a muscat – some are very sweet – others slightly acidic with a little bite – they’re pretty versatile – and you can seem knowledgable about it by having a "little" info – and asking your server some paticular questions.
