Getting To Know Australian Wines
Wine is the world's oldest and most popular drink. In our society good wine is considered part of an elegant lifestyle, and an essential part of a fine meal. Wine is produced in many different regions of the world and a variety of contemporary and traditional fermentation methods are used in the making of wine. One of the countries that have some outstanding wines is Australia.
Australian wines are made with a careful balance of quality grapes and patience in the fermentation process to produce great tasting wine. Since the country is so huge, they produce a variety of different kinds of wine and tasting the differences makes it hard to believe that they all come from the same country. Here are some examples of popular Australian wines:
- The white wines have a unique taste and the color varies depending on what part of the country they come from. There are great variations in the hues of yellow of the wines when poured into glasses, and typically the deeper the hue is, the richer the flavor of the wine will be.
- The taste of the red wines is also different depending on the climate of the area it comes from. The areas with a warmer climate produce wine with a more flavorful and richer taste, while the cooler regions make for a lighter and more delicate taste.
- The warmer regions of Australia have and advantage in the fortified wines they produce. Fortified wines have a longer process of fermentation and are blended with brandy to emphasize the taste of the alcohol. The flavor and aroma depends on how long the wine had to mature.
- Dessert wines have a distinctly sweeter honey-like taste with a fruity flavor and a higher acidity. This is caused by a naturally occurring fungus that is used in the production process. Dessert wines can be served with fruit desserts or blue or soft cheeses that balance the acidity.
Trying an Australian wine will introduce you to a whole new taste experience.

Home From Home……And My Mate Dunno

Jump to Comments I was born with a body that renders me quite incapable of doing anything very well. I’m rubbish at everything. Tennis? I’m so spectacularly bad, I can only just beat my nephew Luke and he’s 7. DIY and home improvement? For me this is simply impossible. Even if I attempt something simple, such as hanging a picture, I end up in the ER, the painting ends up ruined and the wall ends up in the garden. It was the same when I played golf for the first time - I knew there would never be
Chicken Carbonara Recipe
Sat, 30 Aug 2008 11:48:42 PDT
It’s been awhile since I had some Italian food and Chicken Carbonara sounded great, and indeed it was. If you are not familiar with chicken carbonara is it basically a type of chicken spaghetti. Pasta noodles, with chicken and bacon in a delicious parmesan sauce. Now does that sound good or what? When I first looked at the recipe I thought it was going to take along time but surprisingly everything went smoothly and I had it on the table pretty quick. The only other thing I added to the recip
Sunday Dinner, August 31, 2008 & A Meme

It's been a while since you've seen the chef with the question mark on his serving tray, isn't it? I've been cooking most Sunday Dinners lately.But this week I'm not cooking Sunday Dinner. Because it's a holiday weekend and September 1st falls on Labor Day, our checks are already in the bank, so we can afford to eat out for Sunday Dinner this week.Another factor is that Jessica, Jason and Emmy probably won't be here for Sunday Dinner because Jessica is having to work some extra hours this weeken
