Raise A Glass To The Best Wine Of The Month Gifts!


Are you looking for some of the best wine of the month gifts? We have taken out all the hard work and done your research for you. See our Wine Gifts page (http://www.gourmet-food-gifts.com/wine-gifts.htm) for our suggestions, but heres a little information you need before buying any wine of the month gifts.

First, you need to decide your budget. If its small, thats not a problem. There are so many choices when it comes to wine gifts: number of months, number of wines, color of wines, regions and so on that anyone can afford to give a wine of the month gift. You dont have to go with 12 months month to month, 3 months, 6 months are also available.

You can also opt for wine clubs that send wine and gourmet food every month. These are of course slightly more expensive, but in my opinion you shouldnt have to drink your wine without anything to compliment it. A great thing about joining a wine club also is that theres usually an extra discount on other purchases you make. Yes, its not the cheapest gift to give, but if you know a wine lover, a wine of the month gift can be the best gift they ever get!

Screw top wine is here to stay, but is it ready for the big time?

Wed, 08 Oct 2008 17:31:02 PDT
I have been following closure debate for many years. Several years ago, Murphy Goode began offering a valued priced, screw top series, called Tin Roof. We tried their Sauvignon Blanc and found an unassuming drinkable wine that we served several times that year. Screw tops seem to offer a number of advantages. First, they eliminate the problem of cork taint. After years of research and investigation, the cause of cork taint is not clear; however, what is clear is that somewhere between 2% and

Mouton-Cadet 2006 Blanc - Bordeaux Blends White Wine

Wed, 08 Oct 2008 13:19:40 PDT
White Wine by Mouton-Cadet from Bordeaux, France - Bordeaux. Color: Radiant golden yellow. Nose: A powerful nose marked by typical Sauvignon notes of boxwood and broom that slowly evolve towards citrus and passion fruit. Richly aromatic. Palate: The attack reveals the crispness of the fruit, giving the impression of biting into the grape itself. The mid-palate is rich and expressive, harmonious and deep, the finish smooth and elegant on pleasantly lingering fruit.

Valentines Day Wine And Food Ideas


Once again Valentines Day is here and even though it may not be official holiday it is a very important day for that special women in our life. So while we have some time lets plan ahead for the big even and make it a great day for that special someone.

There are many different ways to celebrate this special day from the simple method just buying flowers and maybe some candy to the much more involved level of not buy the above items but also other items like jewelry. It will very depending on how you feel about this holiday after we all don?t celebrate it. But below are some good ideas that you can try this year and that will help make this day special.

Lets start off with a simple plan for Valentines day start off by buy some flowers usually a Roses are nice but you cant mix them with other flowers as well along with a nice vase if you don?t already have one. The next step is to get some candy and wine because in this step we are going to do some pairing of wine food. When pairing wines with chocolate, your best bet is to match lighter, more elegant flavored chocolates with lighter bodied wines and likewise, the stronger the chocolate, the more full-bodied the wine should be. A good example is a bittersweet chocolate tends to pair well with an intense California Zinfandel now a more subtle white chocolate ends to be mellower flavor, making it an ideal candidate for a Sherry. This could make a very interesting and unique Valentines Day. Of course you might not need the chocolate candies at all depending on what your mate likes a good wine can be by itself can be nice way to celebrate.

Another good idea plan is to go with more then just the flowers and candy plus but you add a romantic dinner with wine. Something about a candle light dinner with that special someone and if by chance you have children find a baby sitter after all it is pretty hard to set a romantic setting with your children playing with there food. If you feel like making the dinner yourself then go for it you can find lots of great recipes on our website listed below as well as others. Now if you don?t feel like cooking then order out from a good restaurant which I would recommend you do ahead of time well before that evening.

Another good idea plan would to plan a get away possible to nice bed and breakfast in Wine country. Not only is this a great way to spend time together for this holiday but it can also be a great way to celebrate other special events. There is nothing like getting away from it all and relaxing in the country and enjoy local wine food matching. Of course this idea you need to plan ahead for the event and make sure that you get your get your plane tickets and reservations at the bed and breakfast and I would suggest calling at least 4 to 6 months head of time depending on where you plan on going.

Hopefully these Valentines Day ideas will help you this year or at least give you some new idea?s for that special day. Of course with any special day remember to have fun and enjoy each others company and maybe dance the night away with each other.

The most important thing to remember as you celebrate trying new wine food matching is to have fun and enjoy yourself with your family and enjoy the food, wine and conversation.

We hope you enjoyed this article and that you will take the time to visit our site listed below.

Sorry for the washed out photo, I need to set up my light box to start taking photos since the sun is usually gone by the time we eat dinner these days. I want to start by saying I love my little Emeril Cast Iron Grill Pan. It makes wonderful grill marks on meat and chicken. Since grilling outdoors might not be the easiest thing now that fall is here, I love not only the ease of using the grill pan, but the fact that it makes those great grill marks (see photo below).

Beer O'Clock comes to you this week from the SOBA pen of brewing magnate Stu:For a country steeped in a tradition of “Brown O’Clock”, and with two main breweries competing for years in a battle of “brown against brown” (Double versus Lion), I am surprised that Brown Ale has not been pushed more in the craft beer market.Brown ale might be looked upon by some as the big brother of mild ales, which I wrote here at Not PC around this time last year, and by others as the middle brother between that a
