Red Wine... White Wine..... Nothing But Paradise

If you love red wines, enjoy French cuisine, like taking a relaxing stroll through the countryside and appreciate meeting lots of friendly locals; Southern France is for you!

Languedoc, in the southern end of France is where you will find calm rolling meadows and lush hillsides and is also the largest wine growing region in the world. One vineyard there, Ch?teau Bousquette is a 50 acre estate where you will find organically grown wine at its finest. This simple family estate, nestled amongst the pines with scents of lavender, rosemary and thyme is refreshing in itself but once you taste the wine produced here you know why it's the finest in the world. The view is breathtaking as you overlook the miles of vineyards, stretching all the way to the foot of the C?vennes mountains. Get wine online from this French vineyard at French Wine Online.

Languedoc is Wine Country: Home to Some of Frances' Top Red Wines

Languedoc is recognized as one of the three largest AOC (Appellation d'Origine Contr?l?e: the top grade of French quality wine) zones in France, sharing this distinction with the likes of Bordeaux and C?tes du Rh?ne. This famous French wine country will awe you with its series of gentle hills and valleys covered in vineyards, fields and forests. Little towns with history and character greet you from around many hills and valleys. Peaceful walking paths take you through vineyards and hills; expansive views replenish the soul while you take a drink of the great red wines produced here. The rich, fertile soil yields the famous wines you have always heard about organically and of course the fine grapes being organically grown produce robust and aromatic wines you can taste for yourself even without traveling there by visiting French Wine Online.

Wines and Wine Towns

You'll discover a wonderful hierarchy of red wines from robust to elegant like Bourgogne Pinot Noir, Les Baux de Provence, Jacques Frelin C?tes du Ventoux, Crozes Hermitage, Merlot Domaine de Bajac, Merlot, Domaine de Savignac and Ch?teauneuf-du-Pape.

Winery visits can range from the famous to the not yet famous, from the big to small so you get a real feel for the culture and people behind the wines. Very hospitable winery owners love telling you all about their wines, as you drink them together.

Experiences like these are as rich as the red wine, as highly sought after as the French countryside and they are waiting for you in Southern France. Bring home stories, photos, knowledge of a different culture and without question some of the finest wines in the world. You can also order these same organically grown French wines online right now at FrenchWineOnline.com.

Depending on its size, condition and accessibility, a cellar has the potential to hold almost anything. Older houses often have nonhabitable cellars which have traditionally been used for coal and junk — but with careful thought and planning they can be transformed quite cheaply into efficient and capacious storerooms. Some of the best uses for the cellar are: Wine and food — the cool conditions suit wine perfectly and will help a freezer to run more efficiently. Tools and decorating or build

Terracycle Pioneers Eco-Capitalism

Mon, 13 Oct 2008 11:47:15 PDT
These guys are “growing a better world” and in essence pioneering eco-capitalism. I’m convinced this is going to sweep the nation and the world and become the new evolved form of economics and governance. Terracycle collects and buys all types of waste products that would otherwise go into a landfill, and then upcycles these resources into new products that can be reintroduced into the marketplace and sold for a profit. It’s so simple, and yet the way it should be. No more landfills, no more wa

2008 - Housewarming Wine

Housewarming Wine For Your Reading Pleasure

Keep Wine Chilled - Use a Wine Cooler

Wines taste best served at the right temperature. From 7?C for non vintage sparkling to 18?C for vintage port. Different types of wines need to be served at different temperatures. Wine coolers serve the purpose of chilling your wine to the right temperature.

A wine cooler is any type of utensil or equipment used to cool the wine. These may be small table top units that rapidly cool a single bottle or hand held totes used to carry chilled wine. Wine coolers may also be as elaborate as large refrigerator style units that store dozens of bottles at selected temperatures. Wine coolers are usually made of neoprene, vinyl or double-walled glass, plastic, metal or any insulated material that assists to keep the wine chilled.

Table top units are useful for obtaining the correct wine serving temperature especially in warmer climates. Hand held totes are used for carrying and keeping bottles cold for picnics or parties but these keep wine chilled for a limited amount of time ranging from 1 to 3 hours. These hold single bottles or as many as three bottles of wine.

The large refrigerated units come in different types, sizes, styles and functions. These types of wine coolers are useful for those who do not have access to a wine cellar, as temperature and humidity conditions can be replicated. These can maintain temperatures at a designated level and also at precise levels so wines are continually kept chilled to the desired degree. With developments in technology, wine coolers have also come of age. Modern day wine coolers do not only control temperature, cooling and circulation but are also able to read bar coding of wine bottles enabling precise controls of elements related to the coding. Some wine coolers also have separate chambers with separate temperature controls so that different types of wines can be stored in the same wine cooler.

While choosing a wine cooler, features like volume, number of shelves, capacity, dimensions and energy efficiency are to be kept in mind. Coolers with extra features like light, glass doors and the opening of the door to both left and right are added advantages. Digital or electronic controls gain over dial controls, as temperatures can be set precisely.

Various brands are available with different functionalities with prices ranging from $350 to over $2000. Table top coolers are useful for domestic purposes while the large refrigerated units are ideally suited to bars, restaurants or uses where high turnover of products is expected.
