Great Wine Tastings

emelle asked:


See, i had a taste of my parents wine at our house and it dripped on my pink sweater shirt. I can’t tell them that it was wine because then i will get in trouble. How can i get the stain out completely?

BiotechChic asked:


I have a delicious blush wine made from Muscadine grapes that I bought at a local winery I visited recently. I bought a case and love to drink it but wanted to experiment with it as well. Is it ok to use a kind of sweet wine to cook with? I was thinking maybe a creamy garlic wine sauce with pasta??? Any other suggestions?

Sara asked:


What is the best wine to serve with this dinner?

I am making shrimp primavera pasta (ingredients: garlic, asparagus, lemon zest, Romano cheese and parsley) and a salad (ingredients: Bibb lettuce, sesame seeds, shallots, red wine vinegar, radishes and cucumber).

A white wine, probably…but I’ve heard that it’s difficult to match wine with dishes that include asparagus because of the taste. And I’m really not much of a wine connoisseur…please help!

I am looking for decent recipes, but I can’t use red or white wine b/c I cannot purchase it (underage). Any suggestions?

squealy68 asked:


Recipe only calls for 3 tablespoons I think. I couldn’t find sherry wine vinegar so I got white wine vinegar. It is for a salad dressing recipe. Will this work okay?

Robby S asked:


I am turning 21 this November, and while this means I don’t have a long history with or knowledge of wine consumption and storage, I have greatly enjoyed the few glasses I’ve had with family friends and relatives over the past few years. Because I am not a huge partier, I’d like to commemorate my turning 21 by purchasing a bottle of wine (preferably red) on that day, then save it for a few years to finally open on another birthday. I have no specific plan, I just like the idea of buying a bottle of wine on my 21st and drinking it on some future birthday, as soon as the next year or as late as 50.
Being only 20 I obviously don’t have the grandest budget for this, but I was hoping someone would have a few bottles or vintages I should look into–or just a particular type of wine that is always likely to improve with moderate aging.
Thanks so much!

Ranger Gary asked:


I use to go to an Italian restaurant where they served a wine sundae. I tried to replicate it with red wine and cornstarch, then with 1/2 red wine and 1/2 sugar. Both are good, but any other ideas?

Jen asked:


Spilled white wine on microfiber sofa, and it stinks. What do I do?

David L asked:


I got one of those wine stoppers that claims it makes an air tight seal. With this in use, how long will red wine be good for? Also, does this stopper thing work? Or is it just a gimick? I am not sure if it is that much better than just putting the cork back in?

princesscarmen24 asked:


I am interested in drinking some red wine, as I have heard that it is good for your health, and a good anti-ager. But I normally like white wines that are sweet, and smooth, not bitter. Are there any red ones that are similar? And are any good chilled, rather than at room temp? Thanks for your help!
