wine
Sasha Doll asked:


I feel really stupid for asking this question, but I’m a new wine drinker. Does the bottle always specify when a wine is solely for cooking? Is the alcohol content different? Not planning on drinking cooking wine, obviously, I’m just curious.

What is the best wine for a romantic evening?

Bear Walling asked:


What is the best wine for a romantic evening with my Fiancee? I am no wine expert, but I believe she enjoys Ziphandel. I am planning on spending a nice, romantic evening with her once I return from Iraq. So after a great dinner and maybe a little time in the hot tub, I want to just sit in front of the fireplace, drink a little wine, and hopefully get busy.

andinic_83 asked:


I have been searching the internet for a Red Wine Chocolate Cake recipe that my ex-boyfriend’s mom used to make, and I haven’t had any luck finding something that sounds familiar. If you have a recipe for one, please share it with me. I would really appreciate it!

red wine
Rx7 asked:


Empirically I am coming to the conclusion that the longer a red wine takes to open up after uncorking, the better will evolve by keeping it in the cellar. Experts talk about structure (alcohol/tannin/acid balance) but this seems quite subjective. And, of course some just go with the wine’s reputation to age well, but this can vary from vintage to vintage. Do you have other ways of assesing a wine’s potential to age?

white wine
kornkrazed asked:


I don’t know much about wines. Is this a certain wine made just for cooking or a drinking wine? What is the best dry white wine I should use? Any pointers here would be much appreciated.

San Francisco Style

While wine and country gift baskets can contain wine, their main ingredients are luxury items that are designed to heighten the enjoyment of your wine gift.

For example, your wine and country gift basket might contain a range of gourmet food items which will turn even the simplest of meals into a feast. Truffles, p?t?s, smoked fish, cured meats and a host of other food items which you might not normally buy, or would purchase only for very special occasions, are typically found in many gift baskets by wine country.

Ghirardelli Sweet Success

Your basket might also contain luxury chocolate, flavored with such things as orange or mint, which are excellent when eaten alongside a chilled white wine. Strawberries are also a firm favorite for many people and really do bring out the flavor of Champagne.

Alternatively, wine given as a gift for a romantic wedding anniversary might be intended for an after dinner drink as you soak with your partner in a relaxing bath. In this case your wine gift basket might contain a range of bath products including scented candles, perfumed soaps and bath oils.

Godiva Pure Decadence

While you can of course send wine as a gift, an accompanying gourmet wine gift basket makes the perfect personalized wine gift, or indeed corporate wine gift.

Whatever your choice, you’ll find a huge variety of gift baskets. Wine country offerings come in all shapes and sizes and are designed to suit every budgets.

So, the next time you give a wine gift why not turn it into a very special gift by sending a wine country basket along with it. You can even order both online and have them delivered for you.
