[Daily Loaf] Christmas gifts for the wine lover on your list | Daily Loaf: Vinturi Wine Aerator: You’ve heard of opening wine so it can breathe, and you’ve probably seen someone at a wine tasting swirling their wine in a glass, then audibly slurping the wine and swishing it around in their mouth.

[Socially Superlative» NYC Parties and Reviews from the Front Lines.] Alta Cucina: Italian Festive Wine Tasting | Socially Superlative ...: The four wines featured were sampled in a suggested order, designed by the Sommelier on hand, to best experience the unique character of each one.  The first was a very light and dry prosecco, Valdobbiadene DOC Lovre, and along with the second, I Borboni Aspirinio Brut, a vibrant and refreshing wine, paired well with the cheeses and bruschetta.  The third was a deeper, throatier Spumante, L’Azienda Agricola Colutta Ribolla Gialla Brut (try saying that after a few glasses!), that was a favorite among my party.  It surprised us as quite an exceptional, fuller-bodied sparkling wine and went blissfully with the fruit-studded Panettone.

[Smous Blog...] 10 Hangover Myths Debunked | Smous Blog...: Well, actually, it’s better you eat before you drink rather than before going to sleep. After a meal the food in your stomach slows the absorption of alcohol in the bloodstream.
