| How Savvy Are You??
Do you think you know your wine? Here's your chance to find out! Each week we will post three new questions in our 'How Savvy Are You?' section, and the answers will be revealed in next week's newsletter. Not on the newsletter yet? Click the link above to join in to get information on events, new wines, special offers, and more! Question 1 As of 2007 what is the record price that someone paid for a case of red Burgundy? Question 2 What are two classic aromas/flavors of a Chardonnay aged in oak? Question 3 What are the appellations of the Left Bank of Bordeaux? Last Week's Questions & Answers Question 1 What does letting a wine “breathe” mean? And how does one do it? Answer: Letting a wine “breathe” means helping it aerate which, with many red wines, helps to improve the wine’s flavor. The best way to aerate a wine is to decant it from the bottle, through a wine aerator, into a glass wine decanter. Question 2 You are in a restaurant and ask to see a wine list. Your server asks if you would like the “sommelier” to help you select a wine. What/who is a sommelier? Answer: A sommelier is a certified wine steward who has attended the International Sommelier Guild and has earned and received a degree. Question 3 Are Pinot Grigio and Pinot Gris the same? Answer: Yes, they are actually the same. “Pinot Grigio” is from Italy and “Pinot Gris” is from France. |
