Chateau Pipeau 1998 Saint Emilion Grand Cru - merlot based - well balance. Cedar, black currant, spices, red berry, long finish. Enjoyable! Natural cork, 12.5% alcohol. The average age of the vines here are 40 years! We had this with filet mignon a

lol Brom I do have some of those sleeve wine chillers. To me they chill very slowly. They are certainly better than nothing! They do a good job, if you already have a cool bottle of wine, of keeping it cool as you sit out on a back porch and sip wi

That sounds like a lovely idea, Brom! I do love my decanter but it's also fairly heavy, and I worry about my guests knocking over half the table when they are trying to move it around since they're unfamiliar with the shape. So I suppose having a de

Enoying Ergo Rioja, 2006, Spain, Tempranillo grape, goes wonderfully with palak paneer. The vintage is practically invisible on the label. I literally had to go online to figure out where the vintage is. Maybe it's my eyes in this not-so-bright roo

Very similar to what I have now, likewise with a flat top. My preference is one I had some years back, which had a mostly spherical ... what - belly, vessel, body? Had a rather long neck, was certainly a major pain to clean, but made a great presen

I don't think anyone is doubting that these chill packs work. However, I also don't think anyone is complaining about the methods of chilling they currently use. I can tell you that I don't intend to try the chill packs, since I already have a coup

I think that if you try the chill packs that set around the bottles, you will really like them. I use them alot when hosting weinprobes (wine tastings). But I caution you to go ahead and spend the extra cash for the better ones because they freeze

Yeah, the non-melting ice cubes would be handy. I could use them in a good wine. I was over at the Aboutdotcom site and they had some ridiculous wine chilling advice. One, they said never put wine in a freezer (several sites actually give this adv

Lisa and Brom, We have an ice pack that covers the white wine bottles for a quick or sustaining chill. We usually keep a few of them in the freezer so that they are always ready to go. The plastic ice cubes are a good idea too:)

I think we might be an anomaly here, but our freezer is a side-by-side freezer (it's on the left, the fridge is on the right) and I don't think there's be room to put a wine bottle in there. We tend to keep it pretty stuffed with frozen steamable veg

Well, to look at it from another point of view, I'm pretty sure this has to do with COPA regulations, which try to shield minors from things they should not be able to see - US Supreme Court and COPA Laws "COPA defined the posting of material

Depends on the wine and the circumstances - oh, you gave us the circumstances. For a quick chill of a decent wine, I use the freezer. Too much of a pain in the behind to go the ice bucket route. For yesterday's leftover wine that i didn't put back
