A Glimpse at Popular Wine Makers
For centuries now, vintners and great wine makers have been tirelessly fermenting grapes, other fruits and flowers to produce the wine that is served at feasts, parties and dinner tables. Cultivating an appreciation of wine is a growing trend in the US. Shops specializing in wine are appearing throughout the country, not just in the traditional vineyard regions of California, Oregon, and Virginia. People who may not have grown up around wine are now drawn not only to sampling but also to collecting it. Tasting parties and special wine pairing events are a common theme in restaurants and in the home. With this comes an increase in interest in home storage. While proper storage can help wines become even more exquisite, improper storage can lead to ruined wine.
There are thousands of varieties or types of wine to choose from. White, sparkling, red or rose wine are just some of the ?colors? that you can choose from.
Wine making is a very lucrative venture because there is a worldwide market. France, Italy, Australia, Spain, Chile and the United States have their share of the worldwide market and are the leading countries which export and produce wine.
Meanwhile, South Africa, Argentina, Portugal and Germany aren't far behind.
California is the state which boasts the most of wine producers in the US. Vineyards are mostly found in Sonoma Valley, Monterey, Paso Robles, Santa Ynez and Napa Valley.
Here are just some of the popular wine makers in the country:
1. Greenvale Vineyards & Winery
This vineyard is located in Portsmouth, Rhode Island. They produce red and white wines located from grapes which are locally grown. Chardonnays and Cabernets are produced from the fertile soils of Greenvale Vineyards.
2. The Mount Pleasant Winery
Located north of St. Louis in Augusta, the Mount Pleasant Vineyards and Winery produces the best wine out of quality grapes. With Chambourcin grapes, a Nouveau-like wine is aged and fermented. Chambourcin is a type of red grape grown mostly in states located on the East.
3. Domaine Drouhin
Located in the Red Hills of the Dundee in Oregon, this vineyard claims a sense of history since it is owned by the Drouhin family. Their wine has received worldwide recognition due to class and quality. The Pinot Noir wines that they produce have the distinct flavors of berries and vanilla for an exquisite taste.

4. Savannah Chanelle Vineyards
Located in the mountains of Santa Cruz in California, the Savannah Chanelle vineyards produce Zinfandel, Cabernet Franc and Pinot Noir. Pinot Noir is mostly produced in the vast vineyards of Savannah Chanelle and are on the top of the list when it comes to this type of wine.
5. Chappellet Winery
California, being the wine-producing state in the US, includes the Napa Valley region.
This is where the Chappellet Winery is located and they produce Chardonnay, Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc. This winery produces wines which undergo as little processing as possible.
6. Sanford Winery
This vineyard is located in Buellton, California in the Santa Ynez valley. They make Sauvignon Blanc, Chardonnay and Pinot Noir.
When deciding which wine to serve your family, consider the bottles produced by such popluar wine makers and you can't go wrong.

Italian Liqueurs, The Best In The World
Sun, 23 Mar 2008 08:00:05 PDT
Walk into a bar or cafe in Italy and as well as the espresso and coffee machine the size of a small tank (and similarly constructed), you'll be presented with an array of brightly-coloured and interestingly-shaped bottles containing liquids of indeterminate origin. The Italians, perhaps even more so than any other nationality love their liqueurs, drinks designed to be drunk either before or after a meal to either stimulate appetite or to ease digestion. They're made with a vast array of f

They say the best wines are those stored in a long time in the wine racks. I remember our last summer outing in the wineries where we seen old wine cellars to store their newly made wines. We saw also big barrels and long lines of wine racks. I will never forget this trip because we were able to taste newly produce wines from the well known wineries in that area.
Bridge Urban Winery & Tasting Room
Sun, 23 Mar 2008 18:30:00 PDT
There is a winery located in Brooklyn. No kidding, there really is. They don't grow the grapes here, which I have to think is a good thing. They don't actually make the wine here either - they do that at a contract wine making facility in Mattituck, Long Island. But Bridge Urban Winery does have barrels and a steel tank and plans to make small lots of wine at their Brooklyn facility beginning in 2008. Right now Bridge Winery is more of a wine bar, and it's a very good one. Owners Greg Sandor an

marinating butterflied spiced leg of lamb People often ask me whether I regret leaving the wine industry to return the life of a corporate slave. And to tell you the truth, I don’t think there’s been a single moment when I’ve wished I was back in a dark cellar with waterlogged boots and hands stained a very mechanic-like deep purple from repeated exposure to red ferments. Sure I miss the camraderie of working crazy vintage hours with like minded wine obsessives, certainly some of the most c

Venice Venice Venice!! I was in Venice back in January with Wendy and i'm only blogging about it in March. Wau, procrastinator maximus. We nearly miss our flight because Wendy's train got delayed and we were rushing through the gates of Liverpool airport to barely make it but manatau the stupid plane got delayed for 20mins. By the time, we got to Venice mainland, it was already dark, ya, thanks to winter, the days are so much shorter. Breath-taking view from the plane. Snow Mountain ahhhh...!

I’d make a joke about gasping for air after coming out from under a pile of work or trying to figure out what day it was because I’ve been missing for so long, but I’ve done those before. I’ll have to think of some new gag for the next time. For now, I give you the unfiltered: “I’m back.” (It’s been so long, I forgot my TypePad login info. Sheesh.) A lot has happened. Here’s the what-what. My unscientific experiment regarding my IMDb STARmeter rating was wildly successful with one unforeseen
