February 29, 2012
Dogfish Head Noble Rot is a beer made with the addition of grapes. That in itself isn’t totally new. What is new is that the grapes contribute about half of the fermentable sugars.
What’s also worth noting is the types of grapes used: Viognier and Pinot Gris grapes from Alexandria Nicole Cellars.
The Viognier has been infected with botrytis (or “noble rot”) which dries up the grapes, concentrating the sugars in the fruit. The Pinot Gris grapes have had their sweetness intensified by a technique called “dropping fruit,” which involves cutting off clusters of grapes and letting them drop to the ground. The idea is that the vine can suck up only so many nutrients to nourish the grapes and by thinning the fruit, the vintner increases the sweetness of what remains.
Study Shows Lighting Influences Wine Tastes.
February 29, 2012
If you’re planning on having guests over this weekend, and you’re worried about your choice of wine, you may want to consider changing your light-bulbs!
According to a study published in the Journal of Sensory Studies, wine drinkers found that wines were more enjoyable when they were tasted in red or blue lighting, as opposed to white.
The German experiment, led by Dr. Daniel Oberfeld-Twistel gave a group of drinkers an identical bottle of Riesling in different lighting situations. He conducted the experiment at both a wine bar and in the laboratory with similar results. Drinkers rated the wine one and a half times sweeter and also fruitier in red light than in green light. Furthermore and even more interesting, wine drinkers in red or blue light were willing to pay more for money for the same bottle!

A Guide to Wine Faults – Trichloroanisole
February 28, 2012
“Ermmmm excuse me, Garçon. This wine is bloody terrible!” – just doesn’t sit too well in most restaurants; therefore over the next couple of weeks I’m going to list some of the most common faults you may encounter on your travel through the wine-wonderland, as well as my suggested course of action should you stumble upon a “bad bottle”.
A lot of the time faults in wine go unnoticed, mainly because people just assume that’s just how the wine tastes, but unfortunately their perception of that brand is forever damaged. Faults in wine can be a major problem for winemakers, with most problems being attributed to the cork. Whilst a number of producers are working diligently to investigate the use of other closures, the humble cork isn’t always to blame!
