The Job of a Sommelier Considered at the Wine Rack Store

Thursday, May 20, 2010

While a novice such as myself sniff and swirl and swish, we have nothing on the sommelier. In fact, unless I went to school I could never compete with their knowledge. Learning to comment on wine, to pair it and understand this precious liquid is an art worthy of many months, even years of study. [...]

Odoul’s Wine List Pondered at Discount Wine Cellars

Monday, May 3, 2010

Okay, I know what you’re thinking: a wine list isn’t much good when considered theoretically from my living room. Heck, it’s like reading a recipe book while I’m hungry. Reading this particularly extensive list makes me want to go shopping and try them all, sip by careful sip.
What interests me about this wine list from O’Doul’s [...]

The trout fishing season nears now that the ice is well and truly gone from all lakes in the vicinity of our home. He has his fishing license, now he just needs a fine day and no work commitments so that he can kiss us goodbye one afternoon and head for a trout lake.
     Do I mind? [...]

Wine Rack Store Tastes Another Offering from Rex Goliath Winery

Saturday, February 20, 2010

The first thing I thought when I heard the words “Pinot Noir” was white, the color white. As in a white wine. You can imagine my surprise when I took the bottle off the wine rack and poured the no vintage Rex Goliath Pinot Noir a minute ago and it was red. A very pretty [...]

Discount Wine Cellars at the New Hampshire Winter Wine Festival 2010

Friday, January 29, 2010

I don’t know why, but New Hampshire wasn’t the first place I thought of when considering where there might be a wine festival. Still, in retrospect, the location makes sense when I recall that it is January. Winter wine should be consumed at a wintery location. Their festival started mid-January but continues into mid-February, even [...]

The Wine Rack Store Mixes Drinks

Monday, January 11, 2010

When I say drinks, what I means specifically is ‘wine’. You may be muttering ‘uh, you don’t mix wine with anything. You drink it on its own.’ Sigh at this wine newbie if you like, but what if I try a wine and I don’t like it? Or I have friends over and they don’t [...]

Monday, January 11, 2010

Sometimes I really wish I liked to drink more, because I have found a variety I could fill my wine rack with. Not only is Riesling tasty, but with honey on the nose and in the mouth, could it be good for you too?
     Consider: honey is said to have healing properties. Meanwhile, we are [...]

Calona Vineyards’ Artists’ Series

 
I often spend a long time in the liquor store, browsing from wine rack to wine rack, admiring the colored liquid. Their subtle variations in shade, added to artistic labels or unique bottle shapes, are a visual treat. They are usually categorized by country, and there are many to consider along with [...]

Pairing Christmas Cookies with Wine at the Wine Rack Store

Saturday, December 19, 2009

Maybe you pair cookies with milk, eggnog, or hot chocolate. I don’t like any of these very much, so I have always eaten mine with water, never thinking I could have matched wine to my favorite Christmas cookies. There are so many cookies, and new ones being invented or re-discovered all of the time. Even [...]
