Giving a decanter as a gift

Dear Wine Ladies,

We have been invited to my mother-in-law’s for a special dinner and I would like to surprise her with a decanter as a gift. She is just getting into wine and I thought she might enjoy this instead of flowers or chocolates.

Would I be able to find one that would fall into my limited budget of around $35.00-$50.00? I’d like to share a few wisdom of words with my gift as well, if you wouldn’t mind offering a few tips it would be greatly appreciated. Should all red wines be decanted and what are the main reasons for decanting?

Hi Ronald,

Here’s how we remove a red wine stain.

Thanks for your question. Although there are many remedies and old wife’s tales out there, we are thrilled to share a new one we just recently discovered and are now working with!
Our recent discovery “Winning Colours Stain Remover” came out of the paint department of a hardware store, if you can believe it. Winning Colours is easy to use, convenient, immediate and works great! It’s also gentle on fabric and on our skin. This eco-responsible stain remover has won us over! Check out their website for more info and availability.

Pearly whites and red wine. Ask The Wine Ladies February 2011

Dear Wine Ladies,

Why do some people’s teeth get stained so quickly with red wine and others remain Crest white? I’ve heard it has to do with how porous your teeth are. Do some red wines stain less than others, or am I doomed to Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc, Pinot Grigio etc…?

Pierre,

Montreal, Quebec

Dating drama with wine

Dear Wine Ladies,

Dating is stressful enough without having to feel like a wine connoisseur when the wine list arrives. In my late twenties and knowing very little about wine I often feel uncomfortable when it comes to ordering the wine. Should I try to bluff my way through and hope for the best or just fess up?

Let us introduce you to Yecla

Dear Wine Ladies,

I came across an article that included “Yecla” wines among a list of other wines, Napa Cabernets, classified Bordeaux, Burgundies and some Zinfandels as wines that are often included in auctions and are worth holding onto. Is Yecla a wine, a place or a style of wine? I am intrigued.
