Day #1 (reason #1) : Do not fool yourself, this is ALL about you .. and should be! Should I? Shouldn't I? Should I? Shouldn't I? .. what the heck, it's the holidays, we all want to open that special bottle of wine for ourselves, but we hesitate. Why? Well we do because we if we are by ourselves and do not finish it, we may not get to fully enjoy the whole bottle and we do not want any to go to waste. This is my personal, absolutely favorite reason for having VineyardFresh around. With VineyardFresh on hand, anyone can open and drink whatever they want, whenever they want. Their option, however, one can enjoy that great bottle a second...
Great question! Since Argon is a gas, your can of VineyardFresh will feel super light and "airy" the first day you receive it. But - don't worry. If you go to spray the argon wine preserver into your open bottle of red wine, and you hear the "phfft phfft" - you're good! The "phfft phfft" sound is the 100% argon gas wine preserver gliding gently on top of that nice bottle of red wine you just opened, blanketing the top of the wine with a cuddly protective layer that keeps your wine fresh. BUT...if you go to spray VineyardFresh into your wine and don't hear anything.....don't panic! It is time to buy a new can of VineyardFresh. Like right now....
It "tis the season" and so it is no surprise that I have been getting a lot of questions surrounding wine and holiday entertaining. What should I serve? How do I know the wine is good? What would you recommend? All are legitimate and it simply represents the challenges and issues that face a majority of us when it comes to wine. We are all very sensitive to wanting to be good hosts and hostesses, pleasing others, while trying to exhibit some sense of knowledge and/or sophistication. Well let's starts with my first recommendation and that is "be your wine self". What I mean by that, is simply be no more and no less than who you are in relation...
The holidays are all about enjoying and drinking wine ... as it should be. Wine preservation, wine preservers and saving wine are not on the radar (understandably so), however, during this season of gift giving it really is worth rethinking. Why? .. well here are just 4 situations where the gift of wine preservation really comes in handy: Hostess has a party and opens (or wants to open) "mega" bottles of wine, then everyone leaves! Saving the wine to enjoy another day becomes of great value. You have that "single" friend who likes to enjoy his or her wine any given day, but just wants a glass or two. Now do it with no hesitation. Enjoy a great bottle more...
We have all been there, but let's hope not this year. You know the feeling ... we have the kids gifts taken cared of and then we are on to the adult friends, family, or hostess gifting. Being the wine lovers we are, we love to share our experience but do we know what friends “really” like? Even those we know that drink wine? Do they like red or whites? Sweet or dry? Californian, French, Italian? The options are endless and you’d like to make it work. Here some reasonably priced and practical use ideas to try to help. Decorative bottle stoppers –...
