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…?

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.

Icewine, drink it now or later?

Dear Wine Ladies,

At the icewine festival this weekend I tasted a delicious Vidal icewine which I learned was aged in oak. Is this typical? Are icewines ok to age or should they be consumed when young?
