Wine Basket Ideas
The early history of wine consumption in America was dominated by immigrants whom were primarily Catholic, and of Central or Southern European descent. The bulk of wine-drinking immigrants came from the wine loving nations of France, Italy, Germany, and Spain. They descended from cultural traditions that valued social wine consumption with the evening meal.

Post Honeymoon celebration
If you have a friend or family member that just got married and are about to come home from their honeymoon, giving a wine basket is a great idea. What a pleasant surprise it would be to find out that a wine basket filled with an excellent bottle of wine, chocolate almonds, cheese as well as crackers is waiting at the door step. It is a good symbolic gift that expresses you wish for them to have a very happy and fruitful life as a married couple.
Reminiscing old times
Do you have someone in mind that you rarely see? Don't let this situation hamper your relationship with this person. Send a wine basket with a theme that is close to both your hearts. Distance shouldn't hinder you from remembering someone that you consider to be special in your life.

Busy schedules
Are you always on the run and you feel that you no longer spend enough time with your special someone? No matter how hectic you are right now, spending a few minutes to send your partner a bottle of wine to remind this person how much he or she means to you is a golden opportunity to re-affirm your love.
Proud and fulfilled
Wine is a fitting way to express your pride and fulfillment over an accomplishment or that of someone that is very dear to you. A great way to celebrate the present and look toward the future with optimism and resolve.
These are some of the themes that you can incorporate into your very own design. Don't limit yourself to conventional ideas, use your imagination and creativity to come up with something that is truly unique and special. There is nothing better than giving a gift to someone special that you designed yourself. That person will appreciate your gift all the more since it is one of a kind and truly a labor of love on your part.
Using about a yard and a half of surgical rubber tubing or plastic tubing, siphoning is a very simple operation. First, put the bottles or jars of wine on a table and the empty bottles on a stool or box on the floor. Next, put one end of the tubing in the first bottle of wine and suck the other end of the tube until the wine comes; pinch the tube at your lips and - holding on tight - put this end in the empty bottle and then let the wine flow. As the level of the wine falls, lower the tube into it, being careful not to let it touch the lees. When nearly all of the wine has been transferred, pinch the tube at the neck of both bottles, put one end into the next bottle and allow the wine to flow again.

Alcohol Labeling Proposal Sets Off a Brawl
Tue, 22 Jan 2008 11:28:10 PST

Ruby vs. Tawny
Fri, 10 Oct 2008 20:09:31 PDT
If you enjoy dessert wines, you may have wondered: What’s the difference between Ruby and Tawny Port? Both are sweet wines from Portugal, the difference is that Tawny has been aged in oak barrels and Ruby goes straight into the bottle for aging.
Absinthe Brasserie & Bar (San Francisco: Hayes Valley)
Fri, 10 Oct 2008 19:05:23 PDT
Gotta clear up some old entries. Went to the Bay area for the labor day weekend to visit Jon’s family. We crossed over to San Francisco one night to try go to this German place called Suppenkuche (means “Soup kitchen”) but it was closed that day. With disappointment we walked around the cool Hayes Valley neighbourhood and realized many other restaurants were closed due to the holiday too. Absinthe Brasserie & Bar was one of the few places that was open. We felt a bit under dress since it se
Retirement Planning: A Food Lovers\’ Approach to Planning for the Future
Fri, 10 Oct 2008 17:46:06 PDT
I am still coming to grips with it. Like many of you, I am rapidly approaching retirement. We read the statistics about how few of us are prepared. Mere mention of the words, \”investments\” or \”retirement planning\” can seem like carrying around a ball and chain. Well I want to make this journey one that is more appetizing. After all, I love those late-night conversations with my spouse about where we might be in twenty years. Should we live near the beach or in the mountains? Does planning f

Should Ladies Get Special Treatment at Restaurants?
Fri, 10 Oct 2008 17:30:06 PDT
From Serious Eats Photograph from daveknoph on Flickr At some restaurants, servers can electronically punch in “L” for “lady" to ensure the gals get their menus and meals first. But at the recently-opened bar Apiary in Manhattan, this isn't an option—and in this day and age, the management thinks that's just fine. This week, Frank Bruni weighed in on the gender role situation while dining. Us ladies here at Serious Eats have been mulling it over. Here's what we think, after the jump. Ala
