Profile Information
- About Me:
- Well, if you're drinking simple wine, then have at it. But, If you're drinking something special or just want to talk about the wine you're about to drink, then ask a few questions. When you ask the right questions, you might start to understand why wine is so magical. Nobody knows everything about wine and the people that do, well, they bore us all!
Why does the wine taste the way it does? Which foods pair well? Will this wine be a collectable?
Q: What is the perfect wine for a Cheeseburger or Pizza?
A:
California "Old Vine" Zinfandel is perfect for comfort foods such as these. Big zesty, jammy fruit that works well with a tomato slice or tomato sauce. Its acidity, fruit and spice take that greasy burger or pepperoni slice and make them much more refined. You'll take your next burger out of the fast food category, and put it into fine dinning right away.
Another fun selection would be Cote du Rhone from France, or Grenache Syrah from California or Australia.

White wine could damage teeth more than red: study
A new study suggests that if you want to protect those pearly whites, red wine may be a better choice then white.
German researchers say years of exposure to white wine could take its toll on the enamel on your teeth.
They say whites pack an acidic punch -- eroding enamel far more than reds.
In the lab, adult teeth soaked in white wine for a day had a loss of both calcium and another mineral called phosphorus to depths of up to 60… Continue

Health Q&A: Which wines contain the highest protein levels?
Dr. Elizabeth Waters, of the Australian Wine Research Institute, is doing research on proteins and wine.
She answers:
"The vast majority of commercial wines would have no protein, or very low levels. My guess would be less than 10 mg/L. Most of the proteins in wines are from grapes, with very small amounts from yeast and bacteria used during the winemaking process. These proteins either become insoluble during fermen… Continue
