Wine Tips & Guide

Monday, February 22nd, 2010

Does purchasing wines frighten or perhaps befuddle you? It might if you don’t really purchase or consume wine frequently and that is okay, there is too much mystery and also occasionally snobbery connected with wine.

However, wine is the perfect accompaniment for some meals and there are times when you might want to choose a wine to serve in the home or order in a restaurant. If you want to know about wines, try them to find out what you like and what you don’t prefer in wines.

So why White Or Red?

Wines differ in taste and tannin content (pucker) in addition to the way they strike the taste buds. The white along with perch or perhaps red with meats is often a rule regarding partnering wine with foods that you could often hear.

It’s a general rule based on the concept that red wine drinks often convey more flavor and white wines are typically lighter and the concept is that red wine beverages won’t be overpowered by the steak and white wine beverages tend to be delicate so go well with more subtly flavored dishes such as seafood. On the other hand, rules are made to be broken. Match meals and wines according to your likes instead.

In Favor of Tying Wedding Knots

Friday, January 22nd, 2010

I used to wonder sometimes about who ever thought of the expression “tying the knot.” I can understand its usage in wrapping gifts, using ropes to secure things in storms, and so on. But tying a knot in the context of a wedding would leave me baffled … until I started meeting with wedding planners and even friends who had “tied” the proverbial knot. I supposed, initially, I wasn’t open to interpretations other than my own. I sure didn’t want to think of my up-coming marriage as being knotted: that to me left little room for happy thoughts, let alone a happy marriage.

I was meeting with Dayle, my wedding planner, to talk about wedding favors among other things, but whenever we met the thought of knots interfered with my concentration as well as my helping her. I sat on it for a while that day, but then during lunch I couldn’t help myself and blurted out that the “knot” thing really bothered me. So many people used that term and it aggravated me. Wedding and knot when used together was an oxymoron as far as I was concerned. My marriage, my future life, and the event that was going to set all of that in motion were not going to be a knotted series of happenings. You could say I was rather obsessed with the whole idea of “tying the knot.” Well, Dayle looked at me and started laughing so hard I thought she was going to … well, you know what I mean…
