DID YOU KNOW................that in the Southern Hemisphere, grapes are harvested from February through April as opposed to the Northern Hemisphere which starts in September and may last through November.

  

WINE TRIVIA.................. What are Hanepoot, Zibibbo and Black Hamburg? No, they are not the next big rock & roll groups from England but rather different names for the grape Muscat, which also produces the very popular Moscato wines.
 
Tasting Notes;

For this month's newsletter, I'm taking a small departure from my normal tasting notes. My desk and note book are overflowing with reviews and descriptions of the many new wines that have recently come into the marketplace. If I was to give each a full rundown, it would take over 2 years worth of newsletters for them to reach you. So instead of giving you the usual 4 selections, I've decided this month to list each and every wine, sans tasting note, that I'm sure will satisfy a wide range of palates from our thousands of customers who love to try the next and the best in the world of wine. If a certain wine peaks your interest, next time you visit Champane's Wine Cellars, be sure to ask for a full review. The only thing better than talking about wine is swirling, sniffing, tasting and enjoying the "Nectar of the God's".
