When it comes to choosing the right stemware for your wine, the shape of the glass is more important than you might realize. And the reasons for this may surprise even the most wine-savvy among us. 

The two biggest components of wine are alcohol and water. The balance of these two ingredients determines the flavor and texture of the wine, and the way you perceive it on your palate. 

2020 has been an interesting year to say the least. Socializing looks a lot different this year, and we’ve had to say see you later to everything from concerts and bars to family reunions and vacations. 

But what if we told you that one thing you don’t need to skip this summer is a beer festival? Cue a sigh of relief. 

Just because it’s warm outside doesn’t mean we have to stop drinking red wine. 

Summertime is here, and that means it’s time for summertime wines.

With the arrival of warmer temperatures and a shift to outdoor dining, it’s time to pivot to fresher-style and lighter wines that pair well with seasonal foods and dishes. There’s nothing more refreshing than a crisp glass of sparkling, white, and rosé wine on a hot summer day — especially since we tend to indulge in spicier foods during summer months.

The Science of Wine: Something fun for the Wine Geeks

Meet Joe Meilen...

Each year our guests tell us that one of the most memorable events at the festival is the Grand Tasting, where more than 200 wines are poured by the distributors who represent these elite properties in the U.S.

Not only do you get to taste the 200+ labels at the same event (which, in itself, makes the ticket cost an excellent value) but you get to experience these wines with some of the most knowledgable wine professionals working in the U.S. today.
