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

Seeking Information About Wine? Check Out The Tips Below!

By John Lugasan


Wine is one of the oldest beverages in existence. It's versatile enough to both be consumed by itself and cooked with. Selecting the best wine for your meal is key, because it will affect the way your food tastes.

A Pinot Grigio is something that pairs very well with a seafood dinner. This wine will really bring out the strong flavor of seafood or fish. There are other white wines that also go well with your seafood. These two are a culinary delight.

When you are trying a new wine, trust your instincts. For instance, if a friend loves a certain wine but you don't like it so much, don't buy some just to look good. You will save yourself from throwing away your money on a wine you already know you're not likely to enjoy.

Use the proper glass for your red and white wines. Whites are best in a narrow wine glass to prevent warm air from making its way to the surface. Reds however, are better in a large-mouthed wide glass. Therefore, a great deal of air can warm the wine and activate its flavor.

Cheap wine is not always as bad as one may think. Chile produces great wine. A lot of their wine have a good price. More specifically, look at Cabernet Sauvignons and Sauvignon Blancs. South Africa, New Zealand, and Argentina also have some great wines at great prices.

Use the proper glass for your red and white wines. White wine like a small narrow glass, air cannot get to it. Reds however, are better in a large-mouthed wide glass. A wider glass will let more air get into the glass, awakening the flavor as it reaches the air.

Not every white wine must be chilled. There are many different textures among white wines, and they each respond best at various temperatures. Sauvignon blanc is at its best when chilled, but chardonnay and pinot gris are better at a warmer temperature.

It can really pay off to have a wide selection of wines on hand at home. It is useful to keep a wide assortment. Try different types of wine, including sparkling, red, white and sweet, if you want to be a great host to your friends and family.

Dessert wines make a great after-dinner drink. Great choices for dessert wines are Italian Moscato, French Champagne or California Port. Your guests will love relaxing with one of these wines as they sit by the fire.

If you are a huge fan of wine you definitely need to go to wine country. When you visit the places where grapes grow, the wine takes on a whole new life. An added benefit is that you get to learn a great deal about how your wine is made while you are there. You can enjoy your hobby and learn something.

One of the primary differences between a red and a white wine is the type of grapes used during the fermentation process. Red wines are made out of strong-bodied purple grapes. Green grapes, which are lighter and tend to be somewhat crisp, are used in making white wines. There are many subtle differences from one wine to another, but red and white is the main difference.

As we said at the start, wine has many different uses. It is important to choose the right wine, because it can make a big difference in the taste of your food. Apply the aforementioned tips to help make your wine enjoyment fulfilling.
