How to foul good wine

October 15, 2008/0 Comments/in Ask the Wine Ladies/by Susanne Seelig-Mense

Dear Wine Ladies,

Last weekend at one of our favorite restaurants we ordered a bottle of wine that we were very familiar with. It tasted foul so we sent it back. The waiter had no problem taking it back and bringing us another bottle which was fine Afterward we wondered what could have been the reason the first bottle tasted so bad. Is there a common explanation for this?

Ask the Wine Ladies: Northern Italian Grappa

Dear Wine Ladies,

My wife and I had a delicious grappa from Northern Italy a few weeks ago and are now keen on learning more about them. Might be a good topic for one of your shows? Where are the most popular ones made and are they made with wine?

Being candid on decanting

October 9, 2008/0 Comments/in Ask the Wine Ladies/by Susanne Seelig-Mense

Dear Wine Ladies,

We have been invited to my mother in laws for Thanksgiving 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 surprise 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 of words of wisdom 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? Thanks for your advice Wine Ladies.
