Valencia And Wine
Valencia is famous for its wine production; many of its wines are exported overseas for use in restaurants, or for personal use. Valencia's weather climate and soil consistencies form the perfect conditions for wine production.
Wine is a delicacy to be served with meals and on special occasions. Valencia is well known for its fiestas and celebrations throughout the year, so wine is often a part Valencia's lifestyle.
Knowing which type of wine to select with your meal, or to give as a present is important, as you will want to compliment your dinner with the right wine, or surprise your guest with a wine that suits their tastes.
Essentially, there are types of wine and all of some of these are more suitable to certain types of foods than others. White wines usually go well with white meat dishes, such as fish and chicken, while red wines traditionally go with red meat and pasta dishes.
Generally, there are sweet and dry wines, which can be found in both white and red wine varieties. If you are looking for a sweet white wine you might choose a Riesling. Leaving the grapes on the grape vines for a longer period of time makes sweet wines.
When looking for a sweet red wine you might try a merlot, or a cabernet sauvignon, both of which a delightful sweet red wine varieties. If looking for a dry white wine, you might try a Pinot Noir, or Sauvignon Blanc and if looking for a dry red wine you might try a Shiraz.
All wines should be chilled either in a fridge, or bucket of ice, prior to drinking, as this allows you to derive the most benefit from the wines flavors and experience. Also, most consumable wines are designed to be drunk within a few years from being made, so if you are buying wine for your cellar, keep this in mind.
Well, now that you know a little bit more about wines, you can enjoy Valencia's wines by making the right choices. Valencia wines can be sampled in its many restaurants and also at the Spanish Wine Festival, known as the 'La Rioja Wine Festival'.
The 'La Rioja Wine Festival' Wine Festival is a celebration of Spanish wines and, during this time, there are events and wine tasting, dinners and lots of merriment. Valencia also holds many fiestas throughout the year, which feature food and wine, such as the 'La Tomatina' Fiesta and the 'Fiesta Fallas de San Jose'.

Biodynamic barrels? (Don't quote me)
Sun, 08 Mar 2009 17:00:00 -0700
San Francisco barrel broker Mel Knox wrote this in 2001 and, in the noble spirit of recycling, has sent it for us to savour, in response to this question on members’ forum as to whether barrels are or could be certified organic. Those of you who attended ‘wine camp’—that’s what my wife.
Pine Creek Vineyards and Cabernet Sauvignon
Fri, 06 Mar 2009 12:07:54 -0800
The special 2006 Central Coast Cabernet Sauvignon by Mondavi is popular wine because it has many special properties. It is full-bodied but has a soft as well as pleasant flavor profile at the same time. Prevalent with fragrance of plums, blackberries, and cassis, the taste too is set out by sweet vanilla oak from the barrels and the ripe tannins. The same casks retained the wine for several months. The finish is very luxuriant and you will be happy that it lingers for a while. For this wine, y
Fort Worthology Goes To Dallas
Thu, 05 Mar 2009 13:36:33 -0800
That’s right - Fort Worthology recently spent the day in Big D, with the goal of taking a look at various parts of the city’s urban core, to compare and contrast urbanity in our two cities. We’re not especially big fans of Dallas here, but we’ve tried to be fair. While we’re not going to be above taking a few jabs at the city to the east, we’d also like to point out the good that Dallas has done in their quest for urban rejuvenation, in addition to the challenges still ahead of them. So, let’

Looks like Boulevard Brewing Co. started packaging my favorite brew in aluminum bottles today . The Kansas City-based company produced about 2,700 cases of beer in the aluminum bottles on its initial run Thursday. The brewery will continue to offer its Unfiltered Wheat in glass bottles and barrels, as well. “If you’re out mowing the lawn, out at the golf course or at the pool where you can’t have glass, you can now drink Boulevard Unfiltered Wheat in an aluminum bottle,” said John McDonald,

I live in Northern California, in an apartment, with a front patio. My patio faces West, so I get a lot of (hot) afternoon sun in the Spring and Summer. I have a lot of flowers out front, herbs, and a few trees - including a miniature lemon. Here’s a shot of Sarah on the patio last Summer…….. Last Summer, I grew a couple of heirloom tomato plants in pots and they did okay, but not great. This year, I have a new plan. I’m going to pick up some bigger containers - a couple of wine barr

I'm heading back to Cantillon this weekend for their public brew day . On my last visit I picked up a couple of beers to take home, one of which was chosen on pure novelty: the grape lambic Saint Lamvinus . Even though the label recommended not opening until the year after purchase, I needed to know whether I had to buy lots more next month, or save my bag space for something else. Adding fruit to lambic is not a new or exciting thing. Cherries and raspberries are probably the most common,
