Cabernet Franc

December 27, 2008 – 2:04 pm

Cabernet Franc, a red wine, usually offers a spicy, peppery taste. Last night we had a Thai dinner, basically rice pasta with chicken and peanut sauce. Since we were a little low on white wines, we opted to trying a Cabernet Franc 2005 from Creekside Cellars in Evergreen, Colorado. The wine seemed to bring out […]

December 21, 2008 – 2:02 pm

I love Italian food and am always willing to try Italian restaurants. As I walked into Bucci Ristorante in Grosse Pointe Woods, Michigan, I immediately notice that this restaurant was different from others. I discovered it had a kitchen open to viewing by the patrons.

Shelton’s Consumer Friendly Back Bottle Labels

December 3, 2008 – 1:06 pm

Yesterday I commented about a Spanish wine’s back label. I thought I’d turn to a domestic wine today. Shelton Vineyards in North Carolina’s Yadkin Valley wanted to create a consumer friendly back label.  They created a label that reports the body of a wine and weather it is dry or sweet. This information is conveyed […]

Consumer Friendly Wine Bottle Labels

December 2, 2008 – 1:37 pm

Some wine bottle labels are more consumer friendly than others. Miyone, a Granacha from the Campo de Borja region in Aragon, Spain has a graphical back label. The label shows the level (as a pie chart) of fruitiness, body, sweetness and pleasure. What foods pair with the wine? Again graphics and bar graphs are used […]
