Wine Tasting 101

Friday, January 29th, 2010 by Rebecca

SanTasi, photo care of their homepageWe’ve had an insane week here at Pour Favor what with the Boston Wine Expo winemakers and other exhibitors in town. It’s weeks like this I am grateful for the folks in my network who find juicy tidbits online and forward them to my attention, just checking to be sure I haven’t missed them. It’s a great way for me to ensure I’ve got my finger on the pulse of what interests other people, too. So this week, enjoy these two “fan favorite” articles!

First up – Tasting is as Tasting Does, aka “My Rating? I Like It!”. Check out this great piece by Katy Mclaughlin over at the Wall Street Journal. This is precisely the kind of thing I’m talking about when it comes to picking out a wine (more on that Monday!).

Next – Now this is something I might have benefited from this past week myself (if only it also had protein and electrolytes!): a liquid Palate Cleanser. Check it out!

Would you be more likely to purchase a wine if it had a “Fan Favorite” thumbs up, rather than 90+ points?

Massachusetts wine laws back in the news (and wine events of note!)

Friday, January 22nd, 2010 by Rebecca

Say cheese! Thanks for this image go to: www.thesunblog.com/gourmetgal/2008/04/Big news! Massachusetts continues to get its act together in the wonderful world of wine (whether the powers that be like it or not). It’s looking like finally, after three+ years of duking it out in the courts, out-of-state wineries of any shape or size can choose to ship directly to consumers. Read Wine & Spirits Daily’s synopsis (and somewhat surprising take on the matter…) here!

And, of course, we can’t let today go by without mentioning the biggest wine event in Boston happening this weekend: the Boston Wine Expo! You can still get tickets to this well-known event, but if you do, be sure to check out my  Survival Guide to make the most of your experience.

Last but not least, if you’re in the hood and not just a wine nerd, but also a gourmet cheese aficionado, be sure to attend Ball Square Fine Wines’ “Expansion Celebration” event this TUESDAY, Jan. 22, from 5:30-7:30pm.

Did I miss a wine tidbit or event this week? What’s on your vino screen?

Wine aeration gizmos – are these tools all they’re cracked up to be?

Monday, January 18th, 2010 by Rebecca

Metrokane AeratorAerators seemed to be The Big Thing over the holidays. Whether considered the perfect gift or the best party trick going, I was entertained to find the original aerator, produced by Vinum, on hand at every holiday party I attended. I even received Metrokane’s Rabbit aerator as a gift! All of this enthusiasm got me thinking: is this little gadget worth all the fuss and, if so, which of these two products is superior?

Pop on over to Wicked Local today to get my take!

Have you experimented with these new aeration tools, i.e. not decanters? Which one have you tried and did it win your favor?

Fun with wine in 2010

Friday, January 15th, 2010 by Rebecca

Sarah Pailin, is that you?So let’s start 2010′s wine news and trends Friday post with the most laughable wine headline of the year to date: Sarah Palin is speaking at this year’s Wine & Spirits Wholesalers of America (WSWA) conference. I usually try to avoid judging too harshly in this blog – but really? REALLY? Come on…. If you’re planning on attending this annual event, I beg you to report back here after. Better yet, make sure you have a glass of wine in hand while you listen. You’re going to need it!

Silicon Valley’s Jessica Yadegaran has a better idea… giving her opinion on what’s sure to be a hit in 2010. Check out her article on wine trends and see if you concur!

Last but not least, a man after my own heart, Dr. Vino has gotten to the heart of the matter with his recent post on appropriate wine pairings to enjoy the last of football season – with 7 Layer Dip (um, Albarino people!). See what others suggest here!

What would you rather do: get Sarah’s opinion on the trade or taste test the best pairing with 7 Layer Dip?

January 2010 Wicked WinesAnd…. we’re back!

Pop on over to Wicked Local to see what I have up my sleeve!

Does your New Years resolution have anything to do with wine? If so, what have you decided to pursue in 2010?
