The Function of Wine Storage Racks


Storing wines is crucial to keeping wines flavor and letting it age to perfection. Wine cellars are an ideal way to store wines for long durations. Without a wine cellar, you simply will not store wines to maturation.

Storing wines is crucial to keeping wines flavor and letting it age to perfection. Wine cellars are an ideal way to store wines for long durations. Without a wine cellar, you simply will not store wines to maturation.

Before you select a wine rack, make sure you understand wine storage. Wine should be stored in a cool, slightly humid, and dark place. Make sure the storage areas conditions are consistent. Keep the temperature between 50 and 59 degrees Fahrenheit. Never store wines in a warm, light spot; it will heat the wine and spoil it. Keep the wine horizontal so the cork stays wet, and dont keep the wine next to something with a strong odor. Also keep accurate records of your wines, so you know just when to open the perfect bottle.

A wine rack is crucial to storing wine. Whether you choose a wooden wine rack or a metal wine rack is not important. Rather, pick a sturdy unit that holds the number of bottles you need to store. Temperature-controlled, freestanding wine racks are a perfect storage system, though they are more expensive than a simple wine rack in a cool spot. Small storage systems hold a dozen bottles, larger systems hundreds of bottles. These storage systems are an investment and can be used as furniture. Be prepared to spend close to $2,000 for a storage system.

You can cheaply outfit your wine cellar with wooden shelves -- usually pine -- with 54-, 72-, or 90-bottle capacity. Pine wine cubes provide the most storage for the dollar, and can be stacked to grow with your collection. The biggest benefit of a wire wine rack is that you can easily see each wines label. Metal wine racks tend to be thinner than wooden racks and can fit in narrow spots like hallways or under stairs.

Remember, where you store the wine is more important than how you store your wine. Choose a wine rack that fits your needs and your budget.

Again, my rate of progress is diminishing on a depressing level. I honestly don’t see how people can read so many books a week! It amazes me. Between managing my websites, cleaning, cooking, doing every day things like going out to movies or to the mall, etc, etc, there’s no way that I could get as much reading done as some. It leaves me tremendously jealous, though. Maybe I just need to try harder, right? Perhaps that will speed up my reading. Anywho, I did get one review in this week:

The ones I tried thought clearly show that there are some really good wines coming up to the market really soon. There was a contest to elect the Top 10 Portuguese wines (at the fair of course). Ryan and Gabriella participated alongside a group of 20+ judges (including Spanish critic Jose Penin ) to blind taste a group of wines an

I have been reading Asimov lately. Isaac, not Eric. I just needed a hyper-jump to another head space, so I headed back to another world, far away in the future. I am feeling overwhelmed by the direction of the wine business. California is churning out expensive wines that are loaded with wood and fruit. Bordeaux is pumping out investor-class wines for hedge-fund managers that no longer exist. Hong Kong can only take on so much. And the Italians? Well, they just want to get on the ship and into

A Classic Twosome ---- Wine & Cheese


Living the Good Life

A Classic Twosome ---- Wine & Cheese

Any simple gathering can become a gourmet-tasting event with the classic twosome, the combination of wine and cheese.

Wine and cheese seem like natural marriages, after all, weren't wine and cheese parties a staple of the 1970s? However, generally speaking, cheese is one of the trickiest foods for which to choose a wine partner. Cheese is frequently strong and pungently flavored, it is often very salty and it can have a gluey, mouth-coating texture. Some cheeses even manage to combine all these taste bud challenging features. The whole subject is made more complicated by the fact that wines and cheeses vary as much from producer to producer and according to maturity. If you find an affinity, the wine and cheese can amplify each other's qualities, but sometimes, they can clash. Generally, it will be the cheese that overwhelms the wine.

Please begin the wine and cheese pairing journey remembering that pairing foods with wines is very much like discovering a mate. Just as the right combination of ingredients complements and highlights each other to create a loving relationship, pairing the right wine with a cheese creates a combination that celebrates and enhances the experience of both the wine and the cheese, just like a good marriage.

However, lets not take all of this to seriously. Remember- when setting up a wine and cheese pairing, the only thing you have to know is--- If it tastes good - do it and have fun!

Here is a simple roadmap for matching various cheese types with the wines that best suit them. Sample some of the marriages made in heaven and discover pairings that suit your own personal taste. Start with some basics and then rebel into the unfamiliar. You never know which couple will end up being your choice classic dynamic duo.

Even though it comes down to personal taste, certain guidelines have been proven favorable by a majority of enthusiasts. Here are some of those basic truths just like mama told you:
White wines match best with soft cheeses and stronger flavors.
Red wines match best with hard cheeses and milder flavors.
Fruity, sweet white and dessert wines work best with a wider range of cheeses.
More pungent the cheese you choose, the sweeter the wine should be.

When offering several cheese choices in a wine and cheese pairing spread, white wines fair better than reds. Thats because several cheeses, particularly soft and creamy ones, leave a layer of fat on the palate that interferes with the flavor in reds, rendering them monotonous and bland. For a safer bet when serving several wines, choose Parmigiano or Romano cheeses. They go with most wines.


Finding the perfect wine and cheese pairing may take a little time and a lot of tasting, but with the abundance of Virginia Wineries that is all the more chance to find a your Classic Twosome. HAVE FUN and enjoy the good life! Cheers for Veramar Vineyard!
