Red Wine and Fish?

WineGuy — Sun, 25 Oct 2009 13:45:46 +0000

This is a great article for those of us who don’t like white wine….but love fish. I’ve struggled with experimentation of red wine and fish for years and now have some basic expectations. What I’ve found is the is that dryier lighter red wines, like pinot noir’s and petite syrahs(blends) are best for my tastes, however, I came across this great article on wineloverspage.com on scientists research about this blend of red wine and fish to help out others looking for similar guidance.

05 Cabernet

comments: Great Cab! About $17, and well worth the step up from my lower priced cabs…This has a well rounded and smokey finish. Not alot of oak, but still smokey. Had this with pasta and spicy sauce(gravy)
Enjoy…

2006 / Cabernet
where: Home
comments: So, I’ve been away for a while, but have been inspired by my good followers to keep writing reviews…sorry about the break.

The Show is a pretty smooth cab, made by the Rebel Wine Co. out of Cali…I only saw a few at my local packi so I decided someone must like it, and the label was soo old school! It is one of those really thick bottles so when you pour it…it doesn’t feel like it’s getting empty…Cool! Other than that it went well with pizza..and had a plum or cherry overtone. About $16

2007 / Shiraz
where: Home
comments: Same guys that make Knarly Head – Knarly Dudes – Very heavy rich wine, tasted smokey with hints of plum afterwards. I really enjoyed this wine. Went great with Penne Vodka and peas. It even made my Bohemian taste good afterwards. I believe this is around 20.00.

Wine Goblets

where: Christmas gift
comments: For years I’ve used small glasses, which I call Ginni Glasses. Small 3 inch glasses that are small handy and manly. But Christmas introduced me to a wonderful new glass…I call the weeble wobble. Check it out. Perfect for kids…so it doesn’t tip as easily…and let’s your wine breathe…if you let it sit long enough, which as you can see I don’t. I had to restrain myself just to take the shot!

Cork Eiffel Tower?

WineGuy — Sun, 22 Feb 2009 04:15:02 +0000

So my son had a project for school where he needed to use 100 of the same objects to make something and than write something about it. This is a first grade project and we used his collection of corks to create the “Eiffel Tower”

Honestly it could have been much better, but the pieces had to stay whole and we chose to keep it simple.
