It is Tuesday again so let's talk wine! Serving temperatures are critical to getting the most out of your wines and are often mis-understood or not even considered. Often, I find that white wines are served too cold and reds too warm. One challenge we face is that everyone's "room Temperature" is different and everyone's fridge is set at a different temperature. The general rule is, the lighter the wine, the colder it should be served but in lieu of figuring out the exact perfect temperature to serve each wine varietal, my simple tip is to take your whites out of the fridge 30 minutes prior to serving and put most reds in the fridge 30 minutes before serving, except Cabernet and Bordeaux. All wines will change as the temperature changes so look out for more expression in the white wines as they warm and a suppression of some unwanted red wine characteristics as red wine is chilled. But this is all part of your journey of discovery with wine. Stay wine curious my friends.

WineGB's most recent report showed that 19% of sales for English wine producers come from cellar door sales. I know this figure is likely much higher for smaller producers. Currently, visiting a vineyard in the UK, especially in more rural areas, is typically a one-day activity. Instead of a shop that strips the personality out of the wines, could there be a hub created with a working vineyard that is easily accessible to consumers and showcases wines from the entire region? This is just an idea—perhaps not entirely feasible—but such innovative concepts are exactly what the industry needs at the moment. #wine

#Quickknowledgepost We can make a general statement about white wine color, that white wines tend to darken as they age. They may start out darker, but however they start out, they will darken with age. Red wines, on the other hand, lighten with age. Red wines tend to lose color with age. As a third part to that general rule, both red wines and with wines tend to gravitate towards amber, or brown.

Who said you can’t drink white wine in winter…! The idea that white wines are all fresh, light, and best suited to summertime drinking has been successfully challenged by a wave of rich, white wine styles that are full-flavoured, winter food-friendly and better suited to the dinner table than a sun-drenched deck. White varieties are ideally suited to chilly weather because they can be rich, full-bodied and complex, working beautifully with your typical winter dishes. So, what exactly makes a good winter white wine? From buttery Chardonnays to savory Pinot Grigio’s, textural whites including Fiano, Arneis, Verdicchio or a cheeky Friulano are just some examples.
