58-oz. Wine Decanter

To enjoy your wine at it’s finest, it helps to decant it, allowing the oxygen to blend with the wine surface and bring out the true bouquet and flavors. The wider the surface area met with air, the better. That’s why this decanter in hand blown glass is so ideal. The simple, modern lines are attractive, while the wide base offers maximum surface area exposure when filled only part way. Enjoy this decanter at dinner or cocktail parties or give as a gift to a host or hostess.

Combining Wine and Food

June 2nd, 2008 by

Drinking Wine As You Eat

A good wine will help digestion, bring out the flavors of the food and if it is a red wine, assist you in keeping your heart healthy.  There are many schools of thought as to what wines to combine with what foods.  However, the modern rule of thumb is that if it tastes right, it is right.  There are, indeed, some gourmands who may argue with this.  In any case, there would seem to be truly very little downside in combining food and wine in this manner.

Cooking With Wine

The art of cooking with wine is perhaps exhibited best in the French and Italian modes of cooking.  In both styles of cooking, combinations of food and wine include using reds in meat sources and bastes, and the use of sweet white whites in the preparation of certain deserts and vegetables.  This is a vast oversimplification, but in general wines add depth to flavor and can help in tenderizing certain meats and vegetables.  In most cases the combination of food and wine in this manner does not result in alcoholic tasting food as the cooking of the food typically boils away the alcohol or changes the way the alcohol itself is constituted.  Any age may eat this wonderful combination of food and wine.

Built NY 2-bottle Clink-Proof Wine Tote, Cranberry

Built NY 2-bottle Clink-Proof Wine Tote, Cranberry

Built NY 2-bottle Clink-Proof Wine Tote, Cranberry

This special tote holds two bottles of wine, protecting them from clinks as you carry to parties, the park or restaurants. The sturdy Built carrier is made of soft, padded neoprene (the same material used to make wetsuits), stitched at the center so bottles won’t touch. It also provides insulation at the same time so cold bottles stay at fridge or cellar temperature for hours. A great idea for your host: forget the gift wrap and give a pair of your favorite vintage complete with stylish tote. To clean, throw it in the washing machine or sponge clean and let drip dry.
