Wine Basics

How to taste wine?

Swirl gently, sniff deeply, then sip slowly to catch all flavors.

Best pairings?

Try red wine with grilled meats and white with fresh seafood or salads.

Choosing your bottle?

Think about the occasion, your mood, and what food you’ll enjoy alongside.

Keep bottles lying down in a cool, dark place away from vibrations.

How to store wine?
Serving temperature?

Serve reds slightly below room temp, whites chilled but not icy cold.
