Red Wine With Moon Cake

Have you try this?

Usually people eat moon cake with Chinese Tea. What about having Red Wine instead?

I tried this for this festive season and find that it goes well. Anyone try it and has any comment? Honestly, I find this combination goes very well as you do not feel the fullness when you sip Red Wine and taste your favourite Moon Cake.

I serve the same when my friends came over and they all like the combination.

Happy New Year, Cheers to 2007!

Hi, it is another new year again. How is 2007 going to be? Well, we have great hope for this New Year, may all countries have peace and happiness and may 2007 be a prosperous year for all of us.

I have opened a bottle of Chateau Cablanc Bordeaux 2001 and find this good. This 2001 vintage is different from others as its colour is darker. Pour out the red wine, you see a dark ruby red wine and it has a rich aroma of red fruits like cherry and strawberries. I let the wine breathe for an hour before I serve this bottle. In the mouth it taste of berries and a bit tobacco. The wine go down smoothly and has a supple tannins and is low in acidity. A good after taste too. I also like its wine label too.

This wine come from Saint-Pey de-Castets at the Entre-Deux-Mers region in France. It has a 12% alcohol content making up of 20% Cabernet Sauvignon, 20% Cabernet Franc and 60% of Merlot.

I personally like this red wine and it make me feel like having more. Remember to let the wine swirl in your mouth and enjoy its taste before swallowing it down or you will miss the greatest joy of wine appreciation.

Why not have a bottle of Chateau Cablanc Bordeaux 2001 while bringing this New Year. Happy 2007 Cheers!!!

How lady select a bottle of wine.

Interesting to read that a lady select her wine by the look of the label on the wine bottle. It was mentioned that women buy half the wine in most country and select a bottle of wine by the look of the label. A nice label will attract the attention of women and catches the eye of women who will buy these wine. So knowing this, some wine come with unique name and attractive label design specially to attract the women buyer.

However for men, they usually go beyond the label and ask for help if they need to know more before buying the bottle of wine.

Whatever way we select a bottle of wine, we have succeeded if we are able to select a bottle of wine that we will want more of it.

Get a Cork Jet Pump as a Christmas Gift

Hi friends, Christmas is coming and you may be wondering what gift to get this Christmas for your beloved husband, wife, father, mother..etc. Why not get them this Cork Jet Pump wine opener.

I believe most of us appreciate wine regularly, if not, at least once a while. So, this Cork Jet Pump will come in handy and will be a useful tool for all wine lover. This tool has made opening a bottle of wine as easy as anyone can do. You do not need to use your bull strength to pull out the cork. You may wonder how this works. It is simple, it uses a small gas cartridge that releases gas through the needle and the pressure pushes the cork out. No twisting or tugging, just insert the needle, push the button, and watch the cork pop out instantly without any effort. It cost about US$25 to US$30.

This should be available in most wine shop or you may do a search via the internet and purchase it online.

Keep A Wine Bottle Stopper

An important item to have always be with you is a wine bottle stopper. Although it is commonly known that once a bottle is opened, you are unable to place the cork back into the mouth of the bottle and yet, sometime when we need to keep an unfinished bottle of wine back into the refrigerator, we realised that we do not have a wine bottle stopper on hand.

This is very critical as the quality of the wine will be greatly affected if it is not stored properly. The wine stopper is important to prevent more oxygen from entering the bottle and cause further oxidation.

It is not necessary to get an expensive one. A simple wine bottle stopper usually cost a few dollars. However, there are many different designs and colourful stoppers in the market for your collection. You may just go to the shopping mall to get them. Alternatively, you can also get a wide range via the internet online shops.
