Wine Accessory For Your Reading Pleasure

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.

Venice, 2006 I went to Venice with some SMU folks for Carnivale, and amongst them was a couple I particularly hated - and I called them the Gruesome Twosome - because they crashed unceremoniously at our place for days afterward, and still had the cheek to tell me that ’smoking will make your kids stupid’. Bleagh. I felt like telling them that their kids will be stupid anyway because they are stupid. Bratislava, 2006 Van, Jia and me went to Slovakia and Austria. . . - Bratislava = nothin

Survived the one-year threshold and still lovin’ Seattle

Sat, 28 Jun 2008 21:36:25 PDT
Yes, I know, it’s been an eternity since I’ve tapped on the keyboard - at least for RCG. I’ve now muscled past the one-year hump of living in Seattle, and honestly can’t say I adore it any less than I did when I first moved here in June 2007 from Naperville, IL. If anything, I have become too immersed in work - between full-time and freelance - and have not savored as much of the Pacific Northwest as I should have this past year, but plan to change that. Sometimes I ruminate on how I could have

As I have been watching all the things happening on the web, I think about the real problems in my life, and how they might help me solve them. So first, let me tell you a little story. My sainted mother was a voracious reader. She would have loved the net, would have loved all the writers, the blogs, all the user generated content, but in her life, the net was great books, magazines, newspapers. These various ways of delivering content may disappear in my lifetime. I hope not. When she die
