Take a look at this baby. Now you can pour like the pros.
“A sleek blend of form and function, the Skybar(tm) Wine Preservation & Optimization System as designed by Altitude, Inc. is the first home accessory to chill, pour and preserve multiple bottles of wine from a single system. “
What does that […]
Tis the season for Bordeaux, the beautifully complex wine that collectors vie to get a single bottleof. In fact, a bottle of 1787 Chateau Lafite became the most expensive wine ever in 1985 when it sold for $210,000 at Christie’s.
The reason for this? Bordeaux completely embraces the concept of terroir: the idea that wines taste […]
A few months ago, when Gary was in Seattle, I had the pleasure of getting a precious 45 minutes with him, in which we sipped, slurped and critiqued wine, and talked about some of things his book touches on, but that the other reporters he talks to haven’t asked him about.

Wine.com, the #1 online wine retailer, says that Syrah (Shiraz) outsold Chardonnay for the first half of this year. They say that Syrah sales have grown 47% for the year to date, which is pretty impressive. The close red second is a Cab Sauv, which basically means that by outstripping Chardonnay and Cabernet Sauvignon, Syrah […]
Every industry has different categories of connaisseur. Loosely grouped into general consumers, hobbyists, and experts, each are vital for the other to thrive - when you ignore the consumers and hobbyists, companies can have a hard time subsisting.

I’ve seen people do some lovely things with their corks - even something as simple as displaying them on the wall in a glass case works. Their rough texture and symbolism co-mingle to provide an impressive representation of a […]
From BBC News:
Resveratrol, a plant polyphenol found in red wine, grapes and pomegranates, has been suggested as one of the reasons for the so-called “French paradox” - the relative longevity of the French despite a diet rich in artery-clogging animal fats.
It has been suggested that the traditional glass of red wine taken at mealtimes […]
Suspense and intrigue over the weekend at a wine auction event in Hong Kong over the weekend.
From the International Herald Tribune:
The event at the Island Shangri-La Hotel was expected to last six hours. But long after potential buyers had finished their lunch of beef tenderloin and goose liver ravioli, it became clear that frantic bidding […]
You probably thought that was a metephor, right? Like, “Oh that Rachel…she’s such a kidder and obviously doesn’t REALLY mean that there is a market out there for products made for doggie wine lovers.”
Well, as much as I’m flattered that you think I’m so creative and witty…the fact is, Dogs Uncorked does exist and apparently […]
