Great Wine Tastings

what is the sweetest kind. I hate bitter wine. something smooth, rich, and SWEET.

My wife and I have always had a keen interest in gastronomy and moved towards becoming experts in the field. We both became chefs and dedicated most of our time and life to good eating and drinking. Furthermore, our purpose has always been to create a tool or environment that can make a difference in people’s lives.

In keeping abreast with the news and conducting regular research in the food and wine industry, we observed an interesting common denominator among many food and wine enthusiasts. We discovered that when it comes to wine most people do not have a clear idea of what wine to buy at a market or order at a restaurant, and often times they’re disappointed with their choices.

Obviously, with the number of choices of wine out there, it is not always easy to know what wine to purchase when you go to the market. But our research concluded that the problem or challenge isn’t always the fact that there are too many choices. The problem comes from the ego of the individual. We saw people going up and down the aisles looking here, and looking there and end up either not buying anything or just pick up a bottle with an unsatisfied look on their face. Not one, not two, not three but dozens of people at a time. Many times I couldn’t help myself but walking up to them and suggest a couple of wines. One time I helped 4 customers in a store to buy 37 bottles of wine. They were so relieved that somebody who knew about good wine was there to help them out. It was interesting and even funny, because right after these bottles were bought, the staff was there, very surprised, to quickly fill the empty spaces.

So, to make life a little easier, we decided to create a comprehensive wine guide called “The Right Wine For Your Food,” that informs the public of what wine goes with what food, how it tastes, and even where to buy it. This way the person that is planning to go to the market or a restaurant knows exactly what wine to buy or order with confidence, and feel good about it.

When we make someone feel good, we know we have accomplished our purpose.

I am going to a wine tasting at a friends. Everyone invited has been asked to bring hors d’ oeuvres and a bottle of wine. I am bringing ham puffs. They are tiny savory croissant puffs filled with ham, cheddar cheese, mustard and black pepper. I was wondering what type of wine would compliment this. Thanks!

A traditional favorite in the South of France, Mussels Provencal are easy to prepare, and cook in no time. The secret to the tasty broth is a fine white wine. Be sure not to over cook them!

I am not a big wine drinker and I am looking to give two bottles of red wine as gifts. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated! Thank you!

Dejana T asked:


It looks really nice, and tastes too. Red wine is on the top of this mixture so it’s orange-red.

SammyBoo asked:


I opened a bottle of pinot noir but did not drink it all. Since you’re not supposed to serve red wine chilled, should I just cork the bottle and not refrigerate it? How long will it be good for?

blutoadmirer asked:


We are wanting to start drinking red wine as talked about on Oprah, but we have a family member who is diabetic so we want to choose wisely. Right now, we are drinking a cabernet sauvignon that is semi dry, and a bit tart. We would like a little less dry, less tart wine but want to watch the sugar. Any suggestions?
