A Wine Rack Cabinet As An Addition To Your Home


The art of decoration has taken on a life of its own, inspiring a host of books and reality television shows that seem to multiply by the day. The way you decorate your home reflects your very personal style and those things that are most important to you. For wine enthusiasts, the ability to not only enjoy ? but display ? those beautiful bottles of wine has led to a decorating trend all its own ? the wine rack cabinet.

The modern wine rack cabinet comes in a variety of styles, colors, and materials ? from solid wood and metal to wrought iron. But the timeless function of the wine rack cabinet transcends all styles. A wine rack cabinet is used to store and display wine bottles and in so doing combines form and function in a unique way. While some designs are meant only for wine bottles, others offer space to store and display beautiful stemware and barware. Most are standing pieces of furniture that can stand in a corner or against a wall. Either way, the wine rack cabinet is an inexpensive way to finish a room with a decorative and functional flair.

Another benefit of the wine rack cabinet is its ability to maximize space. For those who have smaller living environments, a wine rack cabinet can successfully store items in an organized and visually appealing manner. No longer are wine bottles relegated to behind closed doors or being stored haphazardly on a kitchen countertop. This can be a fantastic space saver that exquisitely presents a wine collection and elevates a once common room to a sophisticated space.

You can easily find a wine rack cabinet through a number of different avenues including a home furniture store, a large retail outlet that offers home goods, and even the Internet, where a wine rack cabinet can be purchased and shipped straight to your door. Some solid wine rack cabinet pieces come in one piece, while others will require assembly ? although this process is relatively simple and quick to complete.

No matter what wine rack cabinet you choose, you will instantly have a decorative piece that beautifully and efficiently showcases your wine collection for all to enjoy.

Two Suggestions for a Blessed New Year

Tue, 30 Dec 2008 15:23:29 -0800
I was going to give this post the headline, “How not to be an assh*le in the New Year, but figured that might be a touch strong; just the same, I put it in the lead. Magnanimous of me (and subtle), I know. I have several pet peeves, and unfortunately, they cannot all be solved at once. I will forsake a diatribe on people who do not return shopping carts to the corral and (usually the same) people that drive Range Rovers and tote their Whole Food groceries in reusable bags, but don’t recycle

It’s a bronze medal or a ‘good or very good’ rating in most word based scales and usually represents a tasty drop. I’d often rather drink this sort of wine than many higher scoring ones, if that makes any sort of sense. You need a subscription to The Wine Front to see this part of the

The Convivial Origins of the Santa Cruz Mountains AVA

Mon, 29 Dec 2008 20:47:27 -0800
As returning readers of this blog well know I am a tireless enthusiast for the Santa Cruz Mountains AVA. I feel it has enormous unrealized potential, this despite fistfuls of awards won by its wines over the years. What is missing is greater national recognition. A stronger effort must be made by winegrowers, through their modest collective instruments of publicity and marketing, to better promote the unique qualities of the region. Terroir means something here. Creative indifference to both fa

Orange Muscat For Your Reading Pleasure

The Unknown of the Organic Wines



The idea of a career hit them in a restaurant in London, as they saw on the wine list the description of a "hangover-free alternative" type of wine. Shelley Breckenridge and Lynsey Watson who were at that time involved in careers of the field of customer services and financial management, decided to create their own website, Vine Organic.


Based in Glasgow, the site is dedicated only to the selling chemical-free and biodynamic wines. Breckenridge and Lynsey Watson who are both fascinated by wines, share the idea that "Organic wines have an earthy natural quality that you don't find in conventional wine. The aromas are superior, the palates have better fruit intensity and purer flavours".


In a mission in Scotland, at the present, Breckenridge and Watson want to prove that organic wines have the same quality as the natural wines do. They plan to back up their theory by analysing the characteristics of 91 wines from 11 different countries.


The two passionate wine persons have chosen to set up a trading deal with English-based Vintage Roots company, in order to not waste their time on negotiating contracts with wineries, directly. Therefore, they picked only a couple of wines to be the Vine Organic exclusive, such as Vin de Pays d'Oc Sauvignon Blanc and some other wines, sold to restaurants in Glasgow and Aberdeen.


The minuses of the website are that there is no actual definition about what an organic wine is and the creation of Breckenridge and Watson seems to be a little cluttered since they provide no information about the founders-aspect which might be considered important by the customers.
Some tips from the taste test made by Breckenridge and Watson
At the category of fizz wines, the Cava Brut 21 Albet y Noya, at the price of ?12.49 has a yeasty biscuity aroma, chalky creamy texture, but finishes very bitter.
Among the white category, there is Rheinhessen Kabinett Riesling Trocken 2005 Weingut Klaus Knobloch, at the price of ?6.99. This starts well, with light floral bouquet, fleshy lush fruit palate, but this German white falls well short on the finish.
Other white wine is Domaine St Paul Sauvignon sur Lie and it costs ?6.49. It is clean, refreshing southern French Vin de Pays, lacking Loire's minerality. Also it has a light creamy body, being a very easy French quaffing aperitif.
At the red category, there is Thistle Hill Cabernet Sauvignon 2001 which costs ?17.49. This wine it is unbalanced, old, tired and past its sell-by date - an over-priced Aussie red.
Buenas Ondas Malbec 2005 is another red wine, and it will cost you ?6.99. You will buy therefore, a rich damson fruits wine, very young tight- knit fruits, some depth to palate, earthy notes; a good value quaffing red from Argentina.
Also a red wine is Coyam 2003 which can be found at the price of ?11.99. This is very spicy, tight austere Chilean Bordelais blend and rich concentrated fruits, spoilt by an astringent finish.
As an argument for why did the Breckenridge and Watson have chosen to made this study, Breckenridge said that more and more high quality vineyards are becoming certified. However, among the wine producers there are many who are choosing the organically method but in the same time, they just do not bother to certify and label them as such. On this kind of actual situation, Breckenridge and Watson are willing to sell only certified wines, even if that means that the choice of quality wines available for them to list is still rather limited.
