So This Is Christmas

Merry Christmas is such an infectious feeling I like to feel that way all year around.

So if you are visiting just before Christmas, just after Christmas or even here on Christmas day I am sure you will find something of interest for you and in the spirit of Christmas.

It may be said that Christmas is no longer a celebration but this must be spoken by people that have never had trouble closing their eyes on Christmas Eve in an expectation of what maybe left for them on the carpet under the tree.

I continue to look forward to the surprise on my Grandchild's faces to this day at Christmas events.

Merry Christmas - Merry Christmas - Merry Christmas

Bubble Red Wines-Learn All About Them

By Juliette Johnson


Not all sparkling wines are white or clear colored. Sparking red wines are now gaining popularity, especially on wine forums. Sparkling red wine is just as bubbly as sparkling whites. Read through this article and learn the difference between these two types of sparkling wines.

In France and Italy during the 18th century, white sparkling wine was first produced. During the latter part of that era Australian winemakers started to make sparkling Burgundy. Pinot Noir grapes were the first type of grapes used in making sparkling Burgundy. Years after that, sparkling Shiraz began to be produced. In our time, French and Italian winemakers already developed their own recipes of sparkling Burgundy.

Lambrusco is the very reason sparkling red wine is not as popular as sparkling whites. It was during the 70s that a very popular sparkling red wine, called Lambrusco, was produced and sold worldwide. It was made by Italian winemakers. Despite its worldwide exportation, Lambrusco did not have the quality proportionate to its price. Although today's version of Lambrusco is much improved, people will never forget the bad reputation it created when it was first produced. Now, when sparkling red wine is discussed, many wine lovers remember Lambrusco. This is why, though sparkling red wine has long been sold on the market, it remains one of the least liked bubbly wines.

Sparkling red wine is a heavy red despite its bubbly appearance, which is another reason people do not like this wine. On a positive note, this heavy red characteristic makes sparkling red wine ideal for cooking.

The best types of sparkling red wines are the Brachetto d'Acqui from Italy, the Shiraz from Australia and the Vin du Bugey-Cerdon from France. The new Lambrusco from Italy is also good. In fact, its flavor now is a far cry from how it tasted when it was first produced. Try these ones if you want to explore bubbly reds.
