Domaine Parent Corton Grand Cru Les Renardes 2001

April 15th, 2008 by

Domaine Parent Corton Grand Cru Les Renardes 2001

Domaine Parent’s top red wine. Made from 40 year old vines with low yields. After hand harvest and a temperature controlled fermentation the wine matured for 20 months in oak casks.

Tasting Notes:

Intense, bright garnet-red colour. A dense nose with blackberry, forest mushrooms and herb aromas. Powerful and substantial with balanced fruit flavors and complexity. Long lngering finish. A great accompaniment to the finest meat and game dishes. Great now, but will continue to improve with 5 to 10 years ageing.

Wine Barrel Lazy Susan

April 13th, 2008 by

A Lazy Susan is not only a conversation piece, but it’s also a versatile centerpiece for both casual dinners and formal parties. Instead of saying “Please pass the bread”, just give it a spin and there you have it! Put your favorite game on a Lazy Susan and find out how just handy it is when it’s your turn to make a play.

Our Lazy Susans are made from the tops and bottoms of French and American oak wine barrels from the Napa and Sonoma Valleys. They will make an eye-catching addition to your dining room table, coffee table or anywhere that space allows. They measure from approximately 20″ to 23″ in diameter and are backed with plywood to avoid separation and provide stability. All products are sanded to a smooth finish, yet left with the manufacturers’ markings which vary from piece to piece. Markings that may appear to be blemishes are actually part of the character of each piece. An occasional coat of your favorite oil will bring out the unique grains and markings (we use olive oil).

Boxed Wines

April 10th, 2008 by

Have you ever tried a boxed wine.  This is a wine that is package in a bag with a protective box that holds the bag.  The bag is often aluminum and the box is typical corrugated cardboard.  At first glance some people will discount this as a “cheap wine”  However this packaging is arguably better than other means.

With box wines you get a safer transport mode.  It also preserves the wine better and keeps oxygen out which maintains a better flavor over time.  There is no cork taint or spoilage to worry about. 

Of course there are disadvantages to consider.  The hermetically sealed bag creates a situation where shelf life is much shorter than bottle wine after it has been opened.  Many connoisseurs say that the wine is not authentically aged to taste.
Just as there are advantages to the box wine however there are disadvantages as well, such as the fact that the bag used in this method is not hermetically sealed, and so because of this it has an unopened shelf life that is much shorter than most other types of wines. The box wines are also labeled by many wine connoisseurs as being ‘cheap’ wines, as they claim that the wine simply does not have the authentically aged taste and depth that other wines do.

In any event boxed wines are readily available and are gaining in popularity.
