WineRelease.com's February 15, 2010 Monthly Newsletter.
Greetings from WineRelease.com, now 1,557 winery listings strong!
While in Paso Robles in December I purchased a wine aerator called Vinturi, and it actually works.
The plastic device aerates the wine and instantly 'ages' the wine.
We tested it with several wines using a before/after test and everyone agreed that the wine tasted better after it had been aerated.
The drawbacks are the slurping sound and wine sometimes drips out the side holes (they should angle the holes) and the price is a bit steep at $40.
But I do recommend it. After plunking down good money for wine, why not drink the wine properly aerated at the proper temperature and with proper stemware?
Granted, it may take the romance out of drinking wine when you follow all the wine recommendations, but I think it is fun to test wine with/without aeration as well as in different stemware.
Next time you open a bottle of white wine, pour a bit in a Chardonnay glass and a bit in a Sauvignon Blanc glass, taste each and then choose which glass to use to drink.
Do the same with aeration.
We added a winery mailing list link to our Alphabetical page and Regional page.
Of the 1,557 wineries listed here, we have 356 with mailing list links, 344 with Facebook links and 265 with Twitter links.
If I missed a link, just reply to this email and let me know.
And now, on to the wine...
