Then wine is its perfect partner, but choose well..
.

The research published in the British Journal of Psychology found that for the best earthy and full-bodied Merlot taste ...

Cool Climate wine making on a seriously cool scale! For the first time in 3 years we had snow down to sea level on Monday bringing an already crippled Christchurch to a stand still. To take a quote from Tiana (phonetic) from the Campbell Live television show it was the 'Icing on the Quake'!

The Grammy awards joined up with ReCORK this year, a cork recycling organization (video of Muse - Best Rock Band album). Only wines sealed with natural corks were served during the awards ceremony, and all corks pulled at the event went to be recycled. The discarded Grammy corks will go to SOLE, a Canadian company that specializes in footwear made from cork. How about that, you could wear shoes that came from a Grammy winner’s bottle of wine!

There has been a lot of talk from Australia to the USA about alcohol companies being the next in line to be required to display nutritional information on their packaging for beer, wine and spirits.
Federal and state food ministers in Australia have already received a long-awaited report about the proposed changes to the labelling laws in Australia. The report recommends an end to an exemption for alcohol companies to avoid ...
As warm and gracious as she is graceful, former professional ballerina Celia is blessed with nerves of steel and the divine spark of adventure.
Born in England and convent-educated, Celia graduated from The Royal Ballet School to travel the globe with the Sadlers Wells Royal Ballet. It was in Portugal under Companhia Nacional de Bailado that she was swept off her finely-turned feet by Afrikaner Hennie (in the Foreign Service), only to be deposited in a state of marital bliss in South Africa. No sooner had she wiped the dust from her eyes and the happy couple been delivered of first-born Nicholas, than a posting to warring Mozambique did come calling. Following the arrival of Sean (joyous) and a stint with the Women’s Diplomatic Corps (tedious), Celia returned en famille to SA. While husband and sons occupied themselves with commerce and growing up respectively, and not without her help, she invested her unlimited energies into her own personal training business. Life was good.
Eventually, however, the said finely-turned feet and Hennie’s slightly less dainty ones developed an itch that brought them all to New Zealand and to the development of the multi award-winning Sandihurst. And for which wine lovers all over the world shall be eternally grateful.
