Amelia Island Happenings Wine Tasting Opportunities!
Wine tastings are a great way to become familiar with different types of wines and discover your personal likes and dislikes. The wine industry is ever changing and attending wine tastings and hosting wine tastings can be great opportunities to learn and to stay up to date with the latest trends. Or better yet, celebrate a special event with a wine party and your guests will also enjoy learning about wine. Whether you’re starting to learn about wine or have been collecting for years, there is always something new to discover. Contact Amelia Island Happenings for your wine tasting event needs!
Champagne still ‘fresh’ after nearly two centuries in Baltic
Two ancient bottles of Champagne found in a wreck off the coast of Finland are still ‘remarkably alive and fresh’ according to Decanter’s Champagne correspondent Essi Avellan MW.
Chilean wine sales soar on back of mine triumph.
Sales of Chilean wine in the UK soared as consumers celebrated the rescue of the 33 miners trapped underground for more than two months.
Colder Temperatures Require Zinfandel
Now that we’re experiencing temperatures below freezing at night, it’s an opportune time to bring out the Zinfandel. This wine is best known for its intensity, lushness and, of course, its higher alcohol content.
Fall Wines
Fall is a transition time and so it is with wines. We’re not yet in the holiday season with its family gatherings and parties. How do we navigate this bridge? Why not give Beaujolais a try?
Grenache
Why is the most widely grown grape also one of the most undervalued and underestimated? Moreover, why is it rarely mentioned or seen on the shelf? I am, of course, referring to Grenache.
Holiday Wine
Riesling is an enigma. Most people think it to be a sweet wine, but it is not always sweet. These grapes do not only produce sweet, sometimes sugary sweet wines, but they can also produce dry and off dry wines, as well.
Red Wine for the Holidays
What is there left to discuss for the holidays? What about a versatile red wine? Pinot Noir fits nicely into this slot and offers a wide enough variety of styles, quality and price points. Let’s take a closer look at what’s available.
South American Wines
...I call it neglect. The truth is Chile and Argentina, along with their respective producers and suppliers, simply have not aggressively marketed their products here in the US.
Sparkling Wines
When is the best time to drink champagne or sparkling wine? My friend replied,”Any time, all the time!”
Sunken Treasure: Veuve Cliquot
Even the most ageworthy wines rarely keep for 200-plus years, and usually not on the bottom of the ocean. But such conditions seem to have worked out fine for 30 bottles of Champagne discovered by a group of Swedish divers near a shipwreck on the floor of the Baltic Sea.
Wine Library
In order to be truly serious about wine one must read and own books on the subject. In this era of the Internet, I still keep to two rules: nothing can surpass a handwritten note and nothing is more useful than reading a book.
