If you love wine then you must also love wine tasting. Wineries attract wine lovers like magnets because they offer the option of tasting new wines and vintages and exposing their sense of smell and taste to another variation of their existing collection. Some wineries even offer free wine tasting opportunities while there are several hotels and restaurants that are regular when it comes to holding wine tasting events. These events allow wine lovers to taste some of the most exclusive wines in the world. Now you might think that all you need to taste wine is an absence of cold and the ability to sip but wine tasting accessories are indispensable for the serious wine taster.

Wine tasting accessories are old companions of wine tasters who use them to analyze the wine for different factors like taste, color, aroma, flavor, and of course quality. Wine tasting accessories typically include aroma bottles and blotting strips that are often accompanied by manuals on wine tasting and recording books where wine tasters note down their assessments of different wines. It must be remember that wine tasting is also something that is learned and nourished through experience and if you are a novice then you will need the manuals. The assessment records are useful in providing feedback to wineries on how they may improve their wines.

Wine tasting accessories are different depending on the nature of the wine being tasted because all wines have a unique composition that cannot be generalized for the taster's convenience. Moreover, wine-tasting accessories comes in different sizes, so some kits will have more aroma bottles and blotting strips. Other tools of their own accompany some wine tasting accessories and they are manufactured using a whole range of materials to suit all preferences and personal tastes. Some wine tasting accessories come in an all-inclusive package that features equipment to test all the three major categories of wine, reds, whites, and blushes.

There are wine tasting accessories that are suitable for wineries and then there are those that are made with the single user in mind. Make sure that you ask for wine tasting accessories when you go shopping to avoid the ones that are meant for wineries. Of course, for those people who maintain a cellar containing hundreds of wine bottles it might become necessary to buy the winery related wine tasting accessories. It must be obvious that personal wine tasting accessories are much smaller and less elaborate than the other type. Personal wine tasting accessories are also helpful when you go to purchase new wine so you can taste it before buying it.

Some wine tasting accessories are even closely associated with certain brands so if you stick to one brand or are about to try a new one, see if you can find wine tasting accessories that are applicable to that brand in particular. This is especially true of the aroma bottles that usually vary by manufacturer.

Nowadays, it is quite convenient to acquire specific wine tasting accessories because of the Internet. The Internet provides extensive search options as well as hundreds of websites that are dedicated to good wines and the needs of wine lovers.

Ch Pontac Lynch - Margaux - Cru Bourgeois - "Cuvee Special"


"Imitate no one and make your own name in Margaux" is the challenge that Marie-Christine Bondon has been taking up since 1998 when she became administrator and manager of Chateau Pontac-Lynch. Nestled between Ch. Margaux and Ch. Palmer, the shared micro-climate and soil is evident in its obvious quality. This lovely red is a great discovery and an excellent value. This is the Chateaux's "Cuvee Special" from the 2003 vintage. A blend of 40% Cabernet s., 30% Cabernet f., 20% Merlot, and 10% Petit verdot (the majority of the regular Cuvee is made with Merlot) this wine is barreled for 1 year in 70% new French Oak barrels instead of 40% new oak barrels for the regular cuvee. Only 500 cases of this wine were made and the winery hand-harvested the grapes and then employed a rigorous examination process of the grapes inside the winery to make sure only the best made it into the crush. The new oak gives the 2003 Cuvee Special a very smoky nose to compliment the outstanding depth of fruit on both the nose and palate. From a great vintage, this wine will easily last 15-20 years and possibly longer. PONN03 PONN03

20 Amazing Organic Wines Under $20

Carcinogens in your wine? It's possible. When grapes are chemically sprayed, the residues end up in the wine, and the Eco Snob in me says that any true wine connoisseur has got to go organic. Besides, biodynamic is just the way to go. Wine is already a luxury, so you might as well go greener - without shelling out more green.
