Where does the dryness in wine comes from? – Episode 39

admin — Sun, 11 Apr 2010 09:00:42 +0000

Today’s question was sent in from Tom from Tottenville (Staten Island, NY) who asks “Where does the dryness in wine comes from?”.

Part 1: Dryness in Red wines

Part 2: Dryness in White wines

Video sum up: Where does the dryness in wine comes from?

In red wines the dryness is the result of tannins.

“The tannins in wine are from two sources: firstly from the grape seeds, skins and stems, and secondly from the oak barrels (typically Quercus petraea or “French oak”) in which wine is made.” (Wikipedia)

Over time the tannins allow the wine to mature.

In white wines essentially it is the absence of sugar.

Wine like Pinot Grigio, Chardonnay are dry because they don’t have a lot of sugar.

Why should you use a decanter and how do you choose a decanter? – Episode #31

admin — Sat, 03 Apr 2010 09:00:28 +0000

Today’s question was sent in by Mindie from lower Manhattan who asks “Why should you use a decanter and how do you choose a decanter?”.

Video sum up: Why should you use a decanter and how do you choose a decanter?

Basically, a decanter is a device in which you pour wine.

Why / When should you use a decanter?

It is a lot of a ceremony, it looks nice and it is a special container for special wines
If a wine is old it is going to have sediments in it. When you decant a wine try to leave the sedminents in the bottle
If a wine is young it needs aeration and decanting is a good way to provide this aeration

How to choose a decanter?

When you choose your decanter make sure your decanter:

is stable,
is easy to hold
has a wide mouth in order to easily pour the wine in it

When you have a decanter which respect these three practical criteria, your choice will be based on aesthetic and how much you would like to spend. Decanter could cost from a couple of bucks to hundreds of dollars.

You could find a selection of decanter here for example.

Is there a rigorous way to taste wine? – Episode #24

admin — Sun, 28 Mar 2010 09:00:10 +0000

Today’s question is from Rudy from the West Village (New York City) who asks “Is there a rigorous way to taste wine?”.

Video sum up: Is there a rigorous way to taste wine?

What does the color tells you?

Color will tell you a lot about the age of wine and to a certain degree what grapes the wine is made from.

This Cabernet Sauvignon from Australia exhibit a pretty solid cast of dark ruby red across the entire glass.

There is no real signs of age as you can not see any rounding or orange.

What does the nose tells you?

You have to exercise to develop your own repertoir of memories.

In this wine Jeremy is getting a lot of glycerin, eucalyptus.

What does the palate tells you?

You have the ability to taste four primary things: salt, sweet, sour and bitter.

Grapes just don’t taste as grapes: they taste like earth, bananas, blueberries, asphalts…

It is the combination of all those things which will give you guidance to what a wine is, where the wine is from, what the grapes are, how old it is…
