Wine - More Than Just A Wedding Beverage?
If ever there were two terms that go together, they are wine and wedding. If you really love wine, however, you can make it the centerpiece of your happy day.
Wine - More Than Just A Wedding Beverage?
One of the biggest parties you'll ever plan is your wedding. From choosing the venue, to the officiant, to the food - there are many different decisions to be made. One of the biggest choices you'll have to make in regards to your wedding is the presentation. The presentation can be based on the location of your wedding, the season your wedding takes place in (such as Christmas) or your interests. If you love wine, make it the centerpiece of the experience.
The first thing you'll have to decide on for your wine wedding is how far you want to extend the presentation. A wedding can be simple, just incorporating some different wines, wine accessories (such as glasses and corkscrews) and wine bottle shaped decorations. You can also add some grape-shaped decorations and other grape oriented decorations. If you want to really "pour" it on, you can go much farther.
Other types of wine weddings can include incorporating wine colors into your theme. Burgundy, wine and green colors all work well with wine themes. You can also use different types of wine items to spruce up your ceremony and reception locations. Oak wine barrels can make a great centerpiece when filled with flowers, and wine bottles make excellent candle holders. Real (or artificial) grapevines can be used as garlands to decorate the walls and ceilings of your reception location. Using wine labels as place cards (either affixed to bottles or just on cards) can be another way to bring wine into your wedding.
To top the event off, you can also invite [pay] specialist from local wineries to the wedding. They will bring in various new vintages and provide tastings for you and your guests. Along with this, they will typically provide detailed discussions on the process used by the winery to produce the various vintages as well as providing instruction on the unique aspects of the particular vintages on hand. Take this step and you guest will talk about your wedding for more than a few days.
Picking the right presentation for your wedding can make sure that you will always look back on your special day with fondness have great memories. A wine wedding can be a great way to show your love of the grape.

Bermersheimer Hasenlauf Gutenberg P. blanc Spaetlese
In German gastronomic magazines Rudolf Geil is known as a master with the "Burgundy" grape types. In this beautiful 2002 Spaetlese he crafts Pinot blanc into a masterpiece. Unlike our dry '99-vintage version of this wine, this bottling is a full-throttled fruit bomb! Sweet white wine with concentrated tropical fruit that explodes on the palate. Not only is the wine different, but Mr. Geil has also made major changes to his special bottle and label, COMMEMORATING THE ANNIVERSARY OF JOHANN GUTENBERG, chosen as the most influential man of the last Millenium.

Last week, a couple of my friends and I went to The Melting Pot in Old Town Pasadena. We had never been there before, so it was a brand new experience for all of us. We joked that we hadn't had a new experience together in a very long time. (We've been friends since elementary/junior high school). We were seated by the window, so we had a nice second-story view of Colorado Blvd. Our server explained to us that there are no stoves in the kitchen, as all of their cooking is done at the individu

Delectable Fresco provides a perfect evening (The Capital Times)

We arrived at Fresco at 7:45 p.m. on a Thursday. It was moderately crowded, but a little later a number of parties began showing up. It was late for dinner in Madison and we wondered if they were coming for a meal, drinks, a snack or dessert. Our waitress said it was a bit of each. It was only after we left -- buzzing from a wonderful meal -- that I remembered the "Fresco fives" ...

Domaine du Grand Prieur Cotes du Rhone, 2006
Thu, 15 May 2008 06:24:43 PDT
Tasting this wine alongside the Clos Saint Jean Vin de Pays was a revelation. They were showing nearly the same Grenache-Syrah flavor/aroma profile--one mature and the other in the blush of youth. Like the older wine, the Grand Prieur is very aromatic with intense, focused smells of red berries and garrigue. It also has a strong licorice component to both the nose and the palate that the Clos Saint Jean does not have, and I find this very attractive. It's round, ripe and very pretty at this stag
