It's Wine Harvest Time, Get Out and Enjoy the Fruits!
If you're a wine lover, this is the season to savor the flavors of some of the best wines in the country. All the wine growing regions in the country are in the midst of harvesting, and if you live near a popular area be sure to take this opportunity to enjoy the fruits. Here is Savor the Flavor Napa Valley!:
This is a five-day celebration of wine, food and fun which takes place November 19th - 23rd. This is an annual event where you can sample world-class Napa Valley wines and some of the most delicious foods prepared by Napa Valley's master chefs and graduates of The Culinary Institute of America. Book your stay now and avoid disappointment.
If you are considering sampling wine during the wine harvest, here are a few facts about wine which you may not know. Wine has a delicious fragrance all of its own but beware - following are a few warning signs:
* Oxidized - A stale burnt smell with a weird shade of brown. This means the wine was not stored properly and was subjected to extreme temperatures.
* Volatile Acidity - The wine smells similar to vinegar or nail polish remover. This indicates a bacterial spoilage.
* Sulfur - An offensive smell of rotten eggs. This happens with the overuse or improper usage of sulfur.
* Brettanomyces - This is when your wine smells of the barnyard and cherry cough syrup. This indicates yeast spoilage.
* Cork Taint - The smells of wet newspaper, musty, wet shaggy dog odor emanating from corked wine. This indicates spoiled or tainted wine.
* Sulfites - If your wine smells of a burning matchstick, this indicates the wine is newer than it claims to be.
Don't forget to pick up an extra bottle to share with family and friends on the Thanksgiving table.
(As a note: The Villages Golf and County Club was developed and built on the land of the Cribari Vineyards!)
