I Love Kosher Wine – An Israeli Cabernet Sauvignon

June 2, 2011 By mwshutup Leave a Comment

Don’t make the mistake of thinking that all Israeli wines are kosher, many are but many are not. Once upon a time Israeli wine relied on lesser quality grape varieties such as Carignan and Colombard. Happily those days are over. Actually, I’m told that some of the old Carignan fields have been nurtured to produce high-quality wines. In any case, the wine reviewed below is based on the Cabernet Sauvignon grape that stars in Bordeaux France, California, and increasingly elsewhere including Israel. This bottle comes from the Upper Galilee in northern Israel, said to be the country’s region best region for winemaking.

This wine is not only Kosher, it is Mevushal (flash-pasteurized) which essentially means it retains its Kosher quality no matter who serves it. Once upon a time Mevushal was synonymous with tasteless, the process essentially boiled the guts out of the wine.

This is clearly no longer the case. Let’s give it a try.

OUR WINE REVIEW POLICY All wines that we taste and review are purchased at the full retail price.

Wine Reviewed
Dalton Safsufa Cabernet Sauvignon K/P 2007 13.5% Alcohol About .00

Let’s start by quoting the marketing materials.
Tasting Note: Medium garnet with ruby color; big nose of black current, plum and spice with earthy notes; dry, medium to full bodied, with ripe black fruit and vanilla flavores and a lingering finish. Serving Suggestion: Roast beef, grilled lamb or chicken. And now for my review.

The first sips were mouth filling. The wine was long and rich. The initial food pairing involved a commercially barbecued chicken accompanied by potatoes roasted in chicken fat. The plum taste was dominant but not unpleasant and I also tasted tobacco.

This Cab showed a fine balance of fruit, acidity, and light tannins. It was palate cleansing, especially for the greasy roasted potatoes. If I had to look for something negative I suppose that it could have been more subtle.

Then I went with a slow-cooked beef stew with potatoes. Once again the wine was mouth filling. I was tasting dark fruit and dreaming of Bordeaux. Actually I was tasting dark fruit and chocolate with a lot of extract. I added some green jalapeno sauce that didn’t seem to make a difference except to intensify the chocolate.

The final meal centered around packaged meatless baked Ziti Siciliano with eggplant that I generously doused with grated Parmesan cheese. The Cabernet was chewy and refreshing but a bit flat at first. It became better later.

I finished with the cheese pairings. With a Provolone the wine was quite present, powerful, and long but it didn’t really mesh with the cheese. Translation, this wine was too good for this cheese. Then I went to a skim milk Mozzarella cheese. The wine showed good balance and length with a nice touch of oak. To inject a personal note, I wouldn’t waste a bottle of wine on a low-market cheese.

Final verdict I would buy this wine again but definitely pay attention to the food pairings. This wine seems to go better with higher quality food. I won’t say that’s a bad sign.

A Wine Lover’s Weekly Guide to $10 Wines – An Organic Canadian Riesling

June 2, 2011 By mwshutup Leave a Comment

I am starting to taste a lot of organic wines. But you won’t see many of them in this column for one very good (actually very bad) reason. Organic wines tend to cost more than other wines. So when I saw this bottle I snapped it up. Actually, I’m sort of cheating. The bottle cost under but it’s only 500 milliliters, 2/3 the size of a regular wine bottle. So I took smaller sips.

FrogPond Farm is Ontario, Canada’s only certified organic winery. They don’t use insecticides, herbicides, synthetic fungicides or chemical fertilizers and even their electricity is green. So I thought that it was only fair to give them a chance. And I’m usually happy to taste Rieslings.

OUR WINE REVIEW POLICY All wines that we taste and review are purchased at the full retail price.

Wine Reviewed:

Frogpond Farm Organic Riesling, 2006 12.2% alcohol about .50

Let’s start with the marketing materials.

Description: Our Quality Assurance Laboratory has determined that this wine contains 6 mg/L of free sulphur. Tasting Note: Made in an almost Alsatian style, this is a racy/fresh version of Riesling. Nose is of orange marmalade, green apple, mineral and lime. Dry, very clean and fresh, with good fruit/mineral replays on the mid-palate. Needs 2-4+ years, or try it tonight with a Cajun catfish, or, if you eschew spice, grilled salmon steaks. (VINTAGES panel, Feb. 2009). And now for my review.

The cork crumbled as I was opening the bottle. I wasn’t impressed, I can’t remember the last time that happened. I started by sipping this wine alone. The first sips were long, moderately sweet with balanced acidity. I started with schmalz herring (a fat herring) in oil.

The wine was appley with good acidity. The meal itself was a hot-weather, don’t turn on the oven ensemble of reheated sweet and sour barbecued chicken wings, potatoes, and a good helping of salsa. The wine picked up strength with the wings. It had a lot of body for a white wine. But it couldn’t quite keep up with a spicy tomato, garlic, pepper, and lime salsa. It weakly, or semi-weakly able to put out the moderate fire. And there was no lime in the Riesling to accompany the salsa’s lime.

The second meal was fried liver and onions. This time I tasted lime in the wine and there were apple notes as well. The wine managed to remove some of the livery taste of the liver. It was more forceful with green beans in tomato sauce.

The final meal consisted of a roasted Atlantic salmon steak in soy and maple sauce accompanied by rice. The Riesling displayed bright acidity but was somewhat thin and not a lot of fruit came through. Dessert was better. With a high-quality vanilla ice cream bar covered in dark chocolate the wine showed nice acidity and sweetness with some fruit.

I finished the tasting with two cheeses. With a Havarti the wine was too acidic. With an Emmenthaler (Swiss) the wine’s acidity was balanced and the nuttiness of the cheese came through.

Final verdict. I’m just not sure. I usually liked this wine but given the small bottle, it isn’t really a bargain wine. Honestly, I never would have guessed that it’s organic but I think that’s the way organic wines are supposed to be.

Clare Hotels: Blend Of Natural Beauty With Riesling Wine

June 2, 2011 By mwshutup Leave a Comment

Article by Rahul Sharma

The best route, which is easily accessible to the Clare valley, is flying to Shannon International Airport from anywhere you belong and take the road or the local rail network getting into the Clare valley. Before boarding your flight to Shannon Airport, you must ensure that you have already booked a car so that you must not have to fight with the long queue of the car hire and can admire the countryside more than anything else.

The total driving from the Shannon Airport to the Clare valley is of roughly about 140kms, if you drive through the Ennis town and decide to stay there, and wish to admire the natural beautiful landscape of the valley or you can continue your journey to Galway, and Limerick city will also be an option for having an admirable look of the Gods extraordinary sculpted creation.

After visiting the Ennis you will move forward to Ennistymon, the drive from Ennis to here is take hardly around half an hour and will give a spectacular look of the countryside of Clare County. This is a pleasing town situated near a narrow wooden valley.

Our next destination is the town of Lahinch – country’s most favorable and tourist visited seaside, mainly famous for the enormous opportunities for the water sports like surfing, etc. and several outdoor activities like beach volleyball. The Lahinch is famous for its golden-haired sandy beaches, which gives a superlative view of the country seaside.

The Clare valley is also very famous for its exotic Rieslings – kind of wine-grape found in Germany, Austria and in some part of Clare valley as well. It was first started in Germany in 1435-1437 for making the finest Grape-Wine. The Riesling grape is populated of having the dark color stem with the rounded green color fruit over it. Riesling is also well-known as Weisser Riesling, Rheinriesling, Riesling Renano, and Johannesburg Riesling

There is a lot of variety in the flavor, aroma and blend. They are classified according to the harvesting time of the Riesling, if it is harvested early, then it will produce the dry Riesling wine which comes with the crispy aroma and a very small amount of sugar level. In-between the vaguely dry wine is produced, and ultimately the considerable sweet smelling wine is produced when harvested a little late and the reason for its sweetness is the contamination of the fruit from fungus (Grey mold-dried up the fruit water), which increases the sugar level in the Riesling fruit, and because of Riesling smell sweet.

In other words the Clare Valley is the perfect blend of the natural beauty and exotic grape-wine – Riesling wine. This will for sure enhance the level of enjoyment of your holidays and, of family or friend get together or a business deal in such a spendthrift place to reside. All these qualities of the Clare valley will give you, a heavenly experience during your visit.

How to Pair The Right Wine With The Right Food

June 2, 2011 By mwshutup Leave a Comment

The flavorsome food matched with the depth of the perfect wine is absolutely amazing.  With the availability of wine in different varieties and range of prices these days, there is no excuse to miss this palatable experience with food and wine.  Here are some basic things you should remember to make food and wine pairing more enjoyable whether in a restaurant or at home.

It is safe to put hearty food such as stews and casseroles with full-bodied reds, and more subtly flavoured food with lighter wine.  You don’t need to stick to the strict rules about chicken and fish being served with white wine and red meat with reds.   You must instead consider the whole dish – if a chicken is served in a rich buttery sauce it might be better suited to a red Burgundy than a white wine.

If you plan on bringing a bottle of wine to a dinner party and you’re unsure of the menu, go for lighter wines such as Chablis, Muscadet, or a delicate Riesling, or light reds such as Valpolicella or a young fruity Pinot Boir.  I personally favor bringing Muskat red wines to friends’ houses – a bold yet sweet choice; but then, taste can be cultural.  It is just proper to bring something, especially if it’s a house dinner.  Similarly if you are catering for a party, choose lighter wines such as Sancere, Sauvignon Blanc, Beaujolais, and Valpolicella.  Allow half a bottle of red per person and a little more for white.  In summer, trade Champage for a more economical bubbly such as Prosecco or Cava, and allow half a bottle per person.

Wine Partners

Beef

Dense reds such as Cabernet Sauvignon, Bordeax, and Barolo go well with roast beef; spicier reds such as Shiraz, Grenache, and Amarone are all good partners for hearty stews.

Lamb

Red Boreaux or Merlot are good overall choices, but for lighter lamb dishes choose a young Pinot Noir.  If you are serving offal, partner it with a Barolo.

Pork

Beaujoais goes brilliantly with roast pork and cassoulet, although more full-bodied reds such as Shiraz mix well with sausages, while Chablis is a good choice for cooked ham.

Chicken

Roast chicken can be served with Chardonnay or a white Bordeaux, but for heartier stews, choose a light Italian red such as Chianti or a Merlot.

Game

Pinot Noir, red Burgundy, and Merlot are all good matches for game, although fuller-flavoured game dishes such as stews would be best with a full-bodied red such as Cabernet Sauvignon.  More delicate game can be served with a lighter red, such as a Côtes du Rhone.  For pheasant, try a dry Pinot Gris.

Fish

Delicate dishes should be served with light wines such as Sancerre, Pinot Grigio and Muscadet, while richer-sauced fish would work well with white Burgundy.  Oily fish such as mackerel is good with Muscadet or Sancerre, and meatier fish such as salmon, oysters and lobsters all have a natural (and costly) affinity with Champagne.

Salads

Vinegar-based dressings make salads hard to match with wine but try light rosés or citrusy whites such as Sancerre and Pinot Grigio.

Puddings

Always serve wines that are sweeter than the food.  For rich chocolatey puddings and fruitcakes try a Madeira, and for light fruit or creamy puddings an Orange Muscat or Sauternes.

Seven Secret Ways to Choose and Drink Wine to Its Best

June 2, 2011 By mwshutup Leave a Comment

While glancing at a variety of wine displaying in a wine shop, you may have problems to choose over so many wine labels. Then you start asking yourself, “Oh, my God! There are so many of them, and which one should I pick? Which one suits me best? Which one tastes good?”

For your knowledge, there are more than 5,000 grape varieties. Of all, they’re most commonly used to make into white and red wine. Semillon, Chardonnay, Riesling, and Sauvignon Blanc are some of the most popular white wine grapes, while the common red wine grapes include Shiraz, Pinot Noir, Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, to name a few of them. Very often, Australia, North and South America prefer to use the name of the grape to categorize their wine, in which you’ll find their name on the bottle.

Note: Wines here do not refer to those with higher alcohol content such as brandy, whisky, vodka, and etc.

Prohibition: Muslims (due to their religious teaching that prohibits them to take any alcoholic drinks), children, infants, pregnant moms (may cause miscarriage, birth defect, and any unexpected deformity), individual who’ve a record of food/ drink allergy, or those who’re alcohol intolerance, or casein intolerant (I may suggest you to take vegan wine, but if the condition persists, you should give it up), or any unexplainable or complicated medical conditions. Additionally, people who’re experiencing chronic diseases (such as diabetes type II, any type of cancer, heart disease and etc.), patients who’re at a chronic stage of disease, and other acute diseases that did not state here are strictly prohibited to take wines.

Note: It’s always better to seek for an advice from a registered and qualified physician prior to consumption of any type of wine.

Warning: Wine cannot be taken together with drugs (such as heroin, marijuana, and etc.), antidepressant, over the counter drugs or any prescribed drugs as it may cause death or any unexpected incidence. Please don’t disregard this warning, or else, you’ll have to bear on the risk.

Make Sure You Know Your Wine Profile

There is a great difference between red and white wine particularly in regards to their ingredient and color. Red wine is made from the skin and fruit of the red grapes, while white one is made from white grapes. In terms of color, white wine grapes are always yellow or green, in contrast to that, red wine grapes are often purple or blue. In France, however, white wine can be made from red Pinot Noir grapes (the name of the red grapes). Blanc de Noir is one of them, but its price sounds a bit higher than when white wine is made from white grapes.

France has long been renowned for its exclusively made champagnes. The champagne was originally a pure white wine. Due to its dual process of fermentation, the carbon dioxide is formed in its bottle, and thus creating the finest fizzy bubbles you may love so much. As mentioned earlier, most wine is named after vineyards; champagnes are given a name from the houses that produce them. Founded in 1829, Bollinger is one of the family-owned houses, which until today, still remains as the highest wine-making label. Thereafter, RD, vintage La Grand Année (sometimes available as Rosé, and is an exclusive blend of white Chardonnay grapes and red Pinor Noir grapes) and the non-vintage Special Cuvée are some of the champagne labels that are produced under the name of Bollinger. Specifically, La Grand Année is a wonderful vintage champagne that is particularly made from the finest harvest.

Which One Should I Choose From, Red or White?

The best choice is to start with white wine. The reason is that it tends to be fresher, crisper, fruitier and lighter. In contrary, red wine tends to be heavier.

How About Its Age, Does It Matter Much?

Vintage refers to the year the grapes were picked, and its date can be found on the label of the bottle. Besides the year, vintage also gives you hints about the wine. The finest wine is always made under good conditions of rain, soil and sun. Most France’s Bordeaux region made wine, particularly in the year of 2,000 can be considered as a great vintage. In that particular year, the weather conditions were fine and thereby producing the finest wine ever made in the previous 100 years.

The riper grapes are normally produced in the hot season, resulting in wine that is characterized by richer and sweeter taste. But if the weather is colder, it produces sharper-tasting wine.

So, from the above explanation, the age does matter in selecting a good wine. You can always base upon vintage chart as a rough guide to assess the quality and properties of the wine.

Which Label Should I Look For?

In general, wine experts characterize wine into two groups: (1) New World wines and (2) Old World wines. New World wine countries include South Africa, Australia, Canada, USA, New Zealand, and South American countries, while Old World wine countries include Italy, Spain, France and other European countries. In comparison to Old World wine, almost all New World wine labels are fairy informative in regards to the alcohol content, vintage of the wine, and grape variety used to produce the wine.

If you’re a beginner, meaning that it’s your first time to try on wine, it’s always better to choose from any wines that have an alcohol content of 12% or lower. By choosing wine with the lower alcohol content, you won’t feel the taste so strong, heavier or difficult to enjoy. When you get accustomed with its taste, then you can try to drink different varieties of wine, so you can differentiate among its taste and start to understand what you really like.

How to Keep Wine or Champagne to Its Best?

Be sure to keep your wine in a place with a low humidity and a stable temperature. The wine should be kept lying down, so that the corks stay plump and moist inside the bottle, while keeping air out. The temperature between 12°C to 18°C is by far the best storage temperature to keep your wine, and remember to keep your wine in a wine fridge. Otherwise, you’ve to store your wine in a dark and cool part of your house like under the stairs.

Champagne is best to keep chilled while serving. Prior to serving, you can keep it in a fridge for several hours or you may place it in a bucket filled with ice or iced water. If you want to enjoy it in a hurry, just add a pinch of salt into the ice or iced water to accelerate its chilling. Remember, never place it in a fridge since its delicate balance of its content may be spoiled.

Should I Drink Now or Keep?

You may have heard of or read that people keep store wine for over a decade. And most people will think that wine gets better with age. Is this true? It’s certainly untrue! It’s usually better to buy a good wine from a seller who keeps the wine well. Upon purchasing, you should drink it very soon but not to wait till ten years, twenty years or more. This is because some wines are best to be drunk when they’re still fresh and young. Nevertheless, wines from Bordeaux and Shiraz grapes can be stored for a longer period. Specifically, white wines are best drunk within one or two years of its vintage year, in contrast to that, red wines can be kept for years which just keep them getting better with age.

How to Nourish Your Life With Wine

Due to the presence of a natural antioxidant, resveratrol, red wine has been found to benefit health. It has shown to reduce the risk of getting cancer, atherosclerosis (the hardening of arteries) and cardiovascular disease. Nevertheless, excessive drinking can lead to oral cancer, atherosclerosis, and may also increase the occurrence of hypertension-related complicated symptoms (read more details from my previous article entitled  Red wine: Drink or not drink?). According to my previous article entitled the secrets of youth, health and longevity: how to live healthily to 100 or beyond, moderate wine intake does show a remarkable health benefit. In this article, it’s also recommended that males should take about 10 ounces a day, while females is about 5 ounces a day, and in addition to that, the daily red wine intake shouldn’t excess 100 ml.

Only moderate red wine intake will help nourish your life so that you can take longer journey in your life. In a nutshell, this article does not aim to encourage people to get addicted with wines or drink wines in excess.

Bon appetite! Cheers!

Attention: If after taking wine, you experience a symptom of hangover, headache, nausea, vomiting, dizzy, stomachache, unusual symptom, or make you feeling sick, I’d suggest you to give it up but seek for an immediate medical attention.
