Serious Eats YouTube Playlist: Wine
Today's playlist is all about fermented grape juice. Ever wonder how to tell if your wine is bad? Want to know how to swirl your wine without spilling it all over? Or how to open Champagne with a saber? We've included some of our favorite wine videos from around the web, including one wine lover's attempt to pair wine with breakfast cereal.Don't Underestimate the Importance of a Curated Wine List
Over at the Amex OPEN Forum, Maggie writes about creating a thoughtful restaurant wine list. It seems obvious to say it, but the best way for restaurants to encourage customers to order wine with their meals is to make sure the wine complements the food. Check out the article and tell us what you think.Wine from Vine to Bottle in Napa Valley
As part of a press group touring Louis M. Martini and William Hill Estate last week, I got the chance to check out a little winemaking behind the scenes. For a quick look at the making of the 2010 vintage, check out the slideshow!What Are Your Wine Discoveries?
In the latest issue of Food and Wine, wine editor Ray Isle recommends 100 bottles to drink now. Some of them are good values, such as Borsao's Tres Picos Garnacha and Veramonte's Sauvignon Blanc. (The Veramonte is one of several Sauvignon Blancs that made our Top Picks Under $10.) Other wines on the list are serious splurges: sure, Dom Pérignon is great, but is that really how you want to spend $150? Isle's recommendation for grower champagne (from Pierre Gimonet et Fils) is probably a better value.Bordeaux 101
Bordeaux is a wine with baggage. I always assumed it was an out-of-reach, snobby wine that was too expensive and available only to collectors and le wine buffs with deep pockets. And while it's true that some Bordeaux wines are indeed expensive (top-of-the line Bordeauxs are snapped up for hundreds or even thousands a bottle!) it's just not true across the line. Another common assumption: Bordeaux wines are all red. Nope. Learn more about the misunderstood wine here.Serious Entertaining: How to Avoid Five Wine Disasters
Some wine experts say wine is easy. I'm not entirely convinced. Requiring a special opener, tippy stemmed glassware, and the potential for flavor flaws, wine comes with its own set of pitfalls. Here's how I avoid and recover from five of the most common entertaining-related wine disasters.Wine of the Week: Lamarca Prosecco DOC
This Prosecco hit all the right flavor notes, and at $12 a bottle, it's priced right too. But admittedly, one of the things I liked most was the exceptionally beautiful top to the cork cage. It's a painting of an arched wall rendered in gorgeous primary colors—blues, reds, and yellows—like a Renaissance-era painting by one of the Italian masters. Do you have any favorite wine bottle art, whether corks, cork cages, or labels?Gadgets: Vinturi Essential Wine Aerator
It seemed like a good indication that, when I bought my Vinturi Essential Wine Aerator a few weeks ago, the man at the checkout counter started a long-winded rave about the product. But I figured the proof would be in the pudding (and by pudding, obviously I mean my wine-filled belly).Italian White Wine You Might Not Be Drinking: Soave
I can't help it. I crack up every time I enter a wine store, intending to ask for Soave, the Italian white wine, which frankly deserves some respect. But all too quickly, I lapse into an early 1990s flashback, and I hear in my head: "Suave. Rico...Suave." And with that guttural crooning cheesiness taking over my brain, I collapse into a helpless fit of giggles and have to flee the store. As a longtime Prosecco enthusiast, a sommelier friend advised me that if I like Prosecco, then Soave was a wine well worth trying.Hot Topics: Technique of the Week | The Food Lab
