Wine Tasting Notes That Are ANIMATED? Absolutely. Here’s Why.
Zelda Sydney, an illustrator in Vancouver, is expanding the definition of wine imagery by stepping outside the parameters of traditional label design.
Boxed wine is hotter than ever — find the perfect pairing for your summer outing, from BBQs to the beach
Portable vino from a can or box no longer means sickeningly sweet budget blends chugged at college frat parties (sorry, Franzia).

A Significant Amount Of Wine Is Shipped Around The World In?

THIS BAG LETS YOU TAKE A WHOLE BOX OF WINE WHEREVER YOU GO

The MUNCHIES Guide to Buying Supermarket Wine
Because the wine you’re about to buy probably doesn’t come from a small estate. To be distributed in large retailers, there are supply minimums to meet. This doesn’t mean the wines will be bad—far from it—but if you want the image of the little winemaker managing a ten-acre vineyard, you’re in the wrong place. You’ll have to go to the wine shop for that.

Bernick’s Periodic Table of Beer

Knowledge Bombing on Pét-Nats
Pétillant-naturel means, “naturally sparkling,” and everyone who refers to wines made in this style as simply “pét-nats,” can thank Loire Valley winemaker Christian Chaussard (he looks like everyone’s favorite uncle), who coined the term back in the late 1990s.

THE 10 BEST BEERS TO DRINK ON THE 4TH OF JULY, BEER’S OFFICIAL HOLIDAY
But beer was, is, and forever shall be the only reasonable thing to drink in bulk on the 4th of July.
If point scores give you reassurance, go ahead and trust them…
That any system of judgment created by humans is fallible is obvious; that doesn’t mean we should throw the baby out with the bathwater.

Tri-County Adult Education
Vinitas WineWorks LLC, Tri-County Adult Education, and Franklin Liquors are excited to announce the Fall session of the French Wine Scholar Certification program!
Developed by the Wine Scholar Guild with the support of the French Ministry of Agriculture, this specialization program is designed for advanced students of wine, whether professionals or serious wine hobbyists. This is NOT an introductory wine class; students should have professional wine experience or previous classroom study. Students must be familiar with the concepts of viticulture and vinification, major grape varieties, wine regions, and wine styles from across the globe, and have experience tasting wine in a formal setting.
Our next session starts September 6 and will run on nine consecutive Tuesday evenings.
