Buy Fine Wine at Great Prices- A Strategy by Walt Ballenberger of Beaux Voyages, Inc. Here's and excellent site for wine resources: www.winefocus.com.

I look forward to seeing the words every day and especially enjoy the expressions. Try this fun 20 question quiz and test your knowledge of French wine: http://www.frenchwinesfood.com/RaisinAuVin/Quiz.aspx Remember the 5% Rule, which is often cited by Claude Robbins, Master of Wine Arts and President of the International Wine Guild in Denver, Colorado: “Only 5% of the wine produced in the world is made to last 5 years or more, and only 5% of that total (i.e., one fourth of one percent), is made to last 10 years or longer”. So if the wine is ready, it should be drunk before it starts to deteriorate. Looking for a quick way to choose a wine pairing? Try this easy to use site: http://www.frenchwinesfood.com/ViteQueBoire/Default.aspx An excellent resource for learning about that bottle of wine you just purchased is the LaRousse Encyclopedia of Wine. Its more than 600 pages are beautifully illustrated and you’ll quickly see on a map exactly where the wine region is located, and tons of other information. It sells for about $28 on amazon.com. |
