Picking The Perfect Wine Rack For Your Home
For many people starting out, it can be a very difficult and oftentimes overwhelming experience picking out the perfect wine rack. While there are many things to take into consideration when deciding which rack is perfect for your needs, deciding which rack to use to store your collection should never be a cause of stress.
One of the first things to consider when choosing a wine rack is whether you want to store your wine in a vertical or horizontal rack. While some prefer a vertical rack because it allows the labels to be easily viewed, wine stored on these types of racks are more likely to have the cork dry out and shrink causing air to enter the bottle and contaminate the wine. It is for this reason that horizontal wine racks are the most popular choice.
The second and third factors to take into consideration when picking a wine rack are the material it will be constructed of and the style of the rack. There are a variety of styles of wine rack, the most conventional being wall mounted, counter top, hanging and free standing. The most common wine racks are made of metal or wood. If metal is your preference, you can select Vintage View wall mounted wine racks, counter top wine racks, or custom made wrought iron or steel hanging or free standing wine racks. While metal wine racks are commonly made from wrought iron or steel, wooden wine racks are available in an array of finishes. The most frequently used woods used to construct a wooden wine rack are maple, mahogany, and walnut, however pine and redwood are also often used. Choose from single or double finished wall mounted wine racks, free standing wine racks such as Wine Cubes, Waterfalls, and Curved Corner Racks, or counter top racks such as the Pyramid wine rack.
The last thing to consider before purchasing a wine rack is the size of the rack and the cost. Wine racks for personal collecting can cost anywhere between $20.00 and $1000.00, it all depends on the size, style and finish. Even though there are a few things to consider when purchasing a wine rack, the variety of racks out there means that finding the perfect rack for your wine collection is simply a matter of knowing where and what to look for.

Movie Night At Home
Thu, 19 Feb 2009 11:39:48 -0800
The upcoming Oscars Award show always gets everyone in the movie-going spirit and why not it's fun to plan a night at your local theatre taking in a good movie followed by a late night meal and a glass of good Zinfandel! But wait, hold on, are you really going to spend $20+ dollars for tickets, $15+ dollars on snacks, and then $50-$75 dollars on dinner and decent bottle of wine? The answer is an obvious no and not just in the current economy; I find many of our friends who consistently do dinn
“Little Sweet One”: Tales of the Purple Monkey Returns for WBW #54!
Wed, 18 Feb 2009 03:00:24 -0800
Little sweet one… I’m not talking about me. Or Plumboo (that’s the monkey - who, now that my daughter is old enough to play with her toys, has been M.I.A. somewhere in her bedroom). I’m talking about a grape from Piedmont. More on that in a minute. Or two. Plumboo (in spirit) and I (physically) are taking part in the 54th edition of the venerable blog carnival Wine Blogging Wednesday - this month hosted at fellow Philly-area blogger David McDuff’s Food & Wine Trail .

X Winery Carneros Chardonnay
Mon, 16 Feb 2009 16:46:07 -0800
Lately I’ve been doing a lot of odds and ends with my wine reviews and neglecting the “themed series” approach. I have a couple themes in the works in the tasting room (i.e. my office in front of the computer). But before I get into those series I have a couple more odds and ends. Today it’s a Chardonnay. A couple weeks ago I did a review about the X Winery Zinfandel , which I enjoyed. I’ve also heard some buzz about their Carneros Chardonnay, so I thought it would be good to give that on

Zin Excess
Wed, 11 Feb 2009 06:17:37 -0800
Zinfandel wines leave their mark on you. As I strolled out of Fort Mason's Hearst Pavilion Saturday earlier this month, I looked down and noticed my fingers were stained purple. I had tasted more than 30 wines over the course of two hours at the 18th annual Grand Zinfandel Tasting thrown by ZAP , Zinfandel Advocates and Producers. The next day, my index finger still bore the mark of Zinfandel. People love this grape because it possesses that kind of indelible power, joyfully married to flavors
