Wine Cabinet?Let Your Guests Decide From Your Selection
Sure, we buy things that we love for our own personal reasons but there is still some part of us that can?t help but want to show off sometimes! While we hate to go overboard and risk making guests feel bad or awkward, there is certainly nothing wrong with wanting to take guests on a little tour of our latest acquisitions. And when it comes to an ornate and lavish wine cabinet, who can pretend that such an exquisite furnishing was only meant to store our bottles?
Of course at the heart of any decision to buy a beautiful wine cabinet is a desire to display it for others to see. While you may not want to feature it out in the living room for any and all to know about?there is certainly nothing wrong with distinguished and honored guests from seeing your elegant cabinet in the dining room or den.
Decorating a dining room with a finely made and lavish wine cabinet is a great idea and cannot help but add some class and sophistication to this space. After serving an elegant meal, go ahead and open up the cabinet and allow your guests to choose a bottle from your selection while you pull glasses and the opener out. This grand and yet humble gesture allows your guests to both see your magnificent piece while also taking a more active part in the evenings? festivities?so everyone wins!
Truly ornate cabinets often feature hand carvings and other marks of expert craftsmanship. Often constructed from hardwoods and finished with lavish veneers such as oak or cherry, a magnificent wine cabinet is the height of sophistication and interior d?cor. Any room and its furnishings are accentuated by the right cabinet and it is quite common for this elegant piece to become the very focal point of the room itself.
If you are ready to take your home d?cor and interior design scheme to the next level, then hop online and start shopping for the perfect cabinet for your d?cor. Online retailers are perhaps one of the few places where you are going to find quality made wine cabinets and the merchant should be able to answer all of your questions about these elegant pieces and how best to accentuate your existing d?cor with the right one. They are made in a wide range of finishes and features so be sure to shop around for settling on one.

Heart of Stone
Wed, 20 Aug 2008 09:36:54 PDT
Scott and Lisa Neal are lost on a windy, dusty gravel road in the foothills of Oregon's Coast Range. They didn't mind being lost as they were more explorers than tourists. Fate was with them as they soon chanced upon a for sale sign behind which spread out what they were looking for: a place to plant a vineyard. It was a promising site with rolling hills, a rainbow of soil types and the warm protection of the lovely, inappropriately named, Muddy Valley. So in 1998 Scott and Lisa started to p

In honor of California Wine Month, American Express and over 40 L.A. restaurants will be presenting Wine & DineLA — special wine pairing menus from September 7 thru 21.

I give you the following examples (you can get dinner without the wine pairings, too, but below are just the prices with the wine): Asia de Cuba — 3 courses for $
California’s storied vineyards enter uncharted climate territory
Wed, 20 Aug 2008 07:38:17 PDT
By Debra Kahn Climatewire: SAN FRANCISCO — If superb restaurants, a benign climate, awe-inspiring scenery and a great public transportation system weren’t enough, San Francisco also anchors its huge tourism industry on its proximity to world-class vineyards. There are more than 400 wineries spread over a few hours’ drive north from San Francisco, concentrated mostly in Napa and Sonoma counties, as well as Mendocino County. Since the 1970s, the area has become world-renowned as a prime cultivat

Rockaway Cab, Rodney Strong, and Allocations
Wed, 20 Aug 2008 06:13:59 PDT
A few weeks ago, Jeff Lefevere over at The Good Grape and the good folks at Rodney Strong set up an online experiment. What would happen if a house known for their top quality northern California Cabernets wanted to release a new, allocation-only brand and got it to bloggers first? Quite a few of us around the US will be writing about Rockaway this week, and while I've tasted the bottle they sent (which was excllent, dark, rich, fine to drink now, but will *really* shine with a few years on it)
