August 2008 - Muscat Grape
Residential Wine Cellars
Wine has become a popular beverage with many Americans, and is sold almost everywhere. This is because it is studied consistently for its wide variety in taste, depending on where it's produced, and it can be an important part of a meal, since it is known to enhance the taste of certain foods. Thus, residential wine cellars allow a homeowner the space to store their favorite wines and/or build an impressive collection of vintages. Residential wine cellars are also very affordable and don't take up that much space.
Residential wine cellars allow a wine connoisseur to store wines for a long period of time, or "age" the wine. Aging a wine contributes to its taste and sophistication. Since a wine also records its environment in its taste, temperature, humidity, light, and vibration will also impact the taste of the wine in residential wine cellars. Generally, 55?F is the average temperature that wines should be kept at. 50? to 60?F is usually acceptable, but some white wines like to be as low at 45?F.
Sudden fluctuations in the temperature can adversely affect the wine's taste. Humidity of your cellar should stay between 60% and 80%. Exposing your cellar to light should be avoided, because light disrupts the aging process. Excessive vibration of your wine can disturb the sediments found in the bottle.
Residential wine cellars don't have to cost a lot of money. In fact, you can probably build residential wine cellars yourself with your extra basement space or use an alternative area in your house or apartment. A dark interior closet or pantry will work nicely, although don't store the wine near strong-smelling foods. Keep your wine away from stoves and heat sources, as they would allow the temperature to fluctuate too much. Cool, damp basements are good as well.

An Unusual Visitor
Mon, 25 Aug 2008 11:14:02 PDT
After a hard day recovering from a near nervous breakdown induced by over sized wardrobes there are a multitude of opportunities available for a bit of rest and relaxation. Choosing to sit down with a bottle of Australian wine in front of a high definition episode of The Sopranos was my idea last night of trying to recover from the trauma of the day. However, having just managed to switch off at about 9pm, I was alerted to the sight, out of the corner of my eye, of a particularly large, black mo

If the Food Network had broadcast the Indy Grand Prix of Sonoma County, he would have been the host. Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome a man who will drink no wine before it's time, the one, the only, the "mmack". Sunday around 4:00 PM Maria invited me to put down the model airplane I was working on and come out on the front patio to have a glass of wine before the race started, Borrowing Pressdog's shtick, since Sonoma is smack dab in wine country our wine of the race is a chilled Rosemount

Australia Ensemble - Dean, Crumb, Messiaen On a recent Saturday night I went with my former piano teacher, P, to see the Australia Ensemble. The program was, at least on paper, daunting: Brett DEAN (b 1961): Demons for solo flute (2004) George CRUMB (b 1929): Black Angels: 13 Images from the Dark Land, for electric string quartet (1970) Olivier MESSIAEN (1908-1992): Quartet for the End of Time for clarinet, violin, cello and piano (1941) – 100th anniversary of the composer’s birth I thought I de
