The Wine Rack Store and Northern Lights

Monday, August 23, 2010

We’ve been looking for the Northern Lights around here on clear nights. Patrick is especially keen, having heard from a friend that they appear quite frequently in our area of the world. So, he looks, and he looks.
Meanwhile, I found Northern Lights quite easily. I just walked into a winery. Imagine: a celestial phenomenon on [...]

On the news today the public learned that our provincial government is injecting $2.1 million into the BC wine industry. The money will help winemakers fight pests and diseases to improve the crop and, consequently, output.

Learning About Liquor at the Wine Rack Store

Friday, August 20, 2010

Remember how I mentioned in a previous article that one New York winery suggested that summer is the time to drink cocktails, not Chardonnay? That it was too hot for Merlot? My wine rack groaned, but I thought, what the heck. I can learn about cocktails too (just not rum).
I’d been tempted by some individual shots at one of [...]

The Wine Rack Store and upcoming Crowded House

Sunday, August 15, 2010

While searching the internet for wine rack-related subjects to write about I came across some exciting news. My favorite band has released another album. That’s right, Crowded House released ‘Intriguer’ this year. These antipodean geniuses are also touring North America. Oh joy. Oh darn. I can’t get to see them in Vancouver. There’s no way. [...]

The Wine Rack Store, Moet, and Harry Potter

Saturday, August 14, 2010

A recent article associated Daniel Radcliffe of Harry Potter fame with a Moet drinking crowd of socialites. Long considered a luxurious drink for the wine racks of rich people, Moet has a long history.
It begins in the 1740s, after which it was cemented by the hard work of Jean-Remy Moet. He went out to woo his clientele tirelessly. The family [...]

Cocktails at the Wine Rack Store?

Wednesday, August 11, 2010

Recently I read a blurb posted by a New York Wine Store saying it is too hot in the summer to drink wine: drink cocktails! I wonder what that does to business. Never mind that they sell spirits too, what about everyone else’s wine racks?
I do not agree with the heat/drink equation espoused here. If [...]

Pair Rioja with…. Something. The Wine Rack Store Gives it a Try

Friday, August 6, 2010

One interesting fact about Spanish wines is that, although the country has planted more acreage than any other wine-producing country, they do not produce the most wine. The reason is their very strict standards. Rioja is perhaps the best know region in the country producing red and rose varieties. Examples on your wine rack might contain grapes [...]

Cool Climate Australian Whites at the Wine Rack Store

Monday, August 2, 2010

Beppi Crosariol of the Globe and Mail wrote recently on the reputation of Australian wine. He noted the popular view that they make great Shiraz, but also their aim to get away from being seen as a one-wine nation. Apparently, they are not seen this way; in fact, lots of people recognize their Chardonnays, says [...]

The Wine Rack Store Peeks Into Palacial Winery Settings

Tuesday, July 27, 2010

Some of the oldest wineries in Europe resemble castles and stately homes. If you have ever been inside a palace, you may have noted art collections such as statuary, oil paintings and tapestries. Though business was surely transacted in palaces, and guides might show tourists the rooms where critical letters were written, mainly it is difficult to view them as places [...]
