Wine Education & Resources

Enhance your wine knowledge with our expert guides

Understanding wine labels is essential for selecting the perfect bottle. Here's what to look for:

  • Producer/Winery: The name of the estate or château that made the wine
  • Region: Where the grapes were grown (appellation)
  • Vintage: The year the grapes were harvested
  • Varietal: The type of grape(s) used (e.g., Cabernet Sauvignon)
  • Alcohol Content: Typically 12-15% for most wines
  • Classification: Quality designations like AOC, DOC, or Reserve

European wines often emphasize region, while New World wines typically highlight the grape variety.

Popular Red Varietals:
  • Cabernet Sauvignon: Full-bodied with black currant, cedar, and tobacco notes
  • Merlot: Softer tannins with plum and chocolate flavors
  • Pinot Noir: Lighter body with cherry, raspberry, and earthy notes
  • Syrah/Shiraz: Bold with blackberry, pepper, and smoke
  • Malbec: Rich plum and blackberry with velvety texture
Popular White Varietals:
  • Chardonnay: Can range from crisp citrus to buttery and oaked
  • Sauvignon Blanc: Bright acidity with grapefruit and grass notes
  • Riesling: Aromatic with apple, peach, and floral notes
  • Pinot Grigio: Light and refreshing with citrus and pear
Storage Guidelines:
  • Ideal temperature: 55°F (13°C)
  • Store bottles on their side to keep cork moist
  • Avoid direct sunlight and vibration
  • Maintain consistent temperature and humidity (60-70%)
  • Keep away from strong odors
Serving Temperatures:
  • Sparkling & Champagne: 40-45°F (ice cold)
  • White & Rosé: 45-50°F (well chilled)
  • Light Reds: 55-60°F (slightly chilled)
  • Full-Bodied Reds: 60-65°F (cool room temperature)
Classic Pairing Principles:
  • Match Weight: Light wines with light dishes, full wines with hearty meals
  • Complement or Contrast: Similar flavors enhance, opposites balance
  • Consider Sauce: Match wine to the sauce more than the protein
  • Regional Pairing: Local food and wine often pair beautifully
Popular Pairings:
  • Cabernet Sauvignon: Grilled steak, lamb, aged cheeses
  • Pinot Noir: Salmon, duck, mushroom dishes
  • Chardonnay: Chicken, seafood, creamy pasta
  • Sauvignon Blanc: Salads, goat cheese, shellfish
  • Champagne: Oysters, fried foods, versatile with most dishes
The Five S's of Wine Tasting:
  1. See: Observe color and clarity. Tilt glass against white background.
  2. Swirl: Gently swirl to aerate and release aromas.
  3. Smell: Take short sniffs to identify fruit, oak, and other notes.
  4. Sip: Take a small sip and let it coat your palate.
  5. Savor: Notice the finish - how long flavors linger after swallowing.
What to Look For:
  • Body: Light, medium, or full
  • Tannins: Astringency (more in reds)
  • Acidity: Brightness and freshness
  • Fruit: Primary flavors (berries, citrus, stone fruit)
  • Balance: Harmony between all elements
What is Vintage?

Vintage refers to the year the grapes were harvested. Weather conditions vary each year, affecting wine quality and character.

Does Older Mean Better?
  • Most wines (90%) are meant to be enjoyed within 1-3 years
  • Only certain wines improve with age (premium Bordeaux, Burgundy, Port)
  • Proper storage is essential for aging wines
  • White wines generally age faster than reds
Wines That Age Well:
  • Bordeaux and Burgundy (5-30+ years)
  • Vintage Port (10-50+ years)
  • Premium Cabernet Sauvignon (5-25 years)
  • Aged Riesling (5-20 years)
  • Champagne (3-15 years for vintage)

Proper wine storage is essential for maintaining quality:

  • Temperature: Store at 55°F (13°C) if possible, or consistently cool
  • Position: Bottles with corks should be stored on their side
  • Light: Keep away from direct sunlight and fluorescent lights
  • Humidity: Maintain 60-70% humidity to prevent cork drying
  • Vibration: Store in a stable location away from appliances

For long-term aging, consider a wine refrigerator or climate-controlled storage.

Old World: Refers to wines from Europe (France, Italy, Spain, Germany). These wines typically emphasize region and terroir, have more subtle flavors, higher acidity, and lower alcohol content. Labels focus on the region rather than grape variety.

New World: Wines from the Americas, Australia, New Zealand, and South Africa. These tend to be fruit-forward, bolder, with higher alcohol content. Labels typically highlight the grape variety (e.g., "Cabernet Sauvignon").

Both styles are excellent - it's all about personal preference!

Yes! We offer beautiful gift packaging options for wine purchases. We can create custom gift sets or baskets for any occasion:
