A community portal about Wine with blogs, videos, and photos. According to Wikipedia.org: Wine is an alcoholic beverage produced by the fermentation of the juice of fruits, usually grapes. Although a number of other fruits - such as plum, elderberry and blackcurrant - may also be fermented, grapes are naturally chemically balanced to normally ferment completely without requiring extra sugars, acids, enzymes or other nutrients. Non-grape wines are called fruit wine or country wine. Other products made from starch based materials, such as barley wine, rice wine, are more similar to beers. The English word wine and its equivalents in other languages are protected by law in many jurisdictions.

A person has to truly be a wine connoisseur to have the need of a wine cellar in the home.

Although there are some variations in wine cellar design, such as how the racks are set up or how the cellar itself is shaped, the specifications of a typical wine ... Read Full Story

Tasting notes: "The 2006 Chardonnay starts off as a relatively tight, light gold green-colored wine with hints of minerals, butterscotch, and lemony/honeysuckle-like fruit. Thirty minutes later it is still developing, expanding in flavor, and offering bold, rich, concentrated yet lively and vibrant aromas and flavors. It is a big, intense, ageworthy Chardonnay that should last for at least another five years." "In the glass, green hues...

Tasting Notes: A wonderful value, the 2003 Piece de Roche Corbieres was produced from Carignan planted in 1895 on 50% Riparia Gloire and 50% Rupestris. Evocative notes of herbs and green shrubs (rosemary and pine stand out) waft from the glass, together with fresh red raspberry. Big berry fruit flavors and resinous herbs fill the mouth. The polished tannins (without benefit of wood) do not detract from the very satisfying, freshly-fruited...
