Wine as Gifts

When we go to a party and we don't have time to think what to give the host, we always end up bringing a wine. Wine makes great gifts.

Nowadays, wine makers are trying to do their share in helping take care of the environment. As a result, many are into making "green wines".

Wine, an Essential Part of a Meal

For most people here in the United States, wine is an essential part of a meal, be it a family dinner or a lavish party. Wines serve as welcome drinks to party goers or to simply while away the time. Meals in posh restaurants will never be complete without wines being served to customers and diners. Wines are like water here to wash and “flush” the food into the stomach. But back in my home country, it’s a completely different story. Wines are seldom seen in ordinary family dinners; wines are stored up in a wine warehouse and will only be served during special occasions and family gatherings. So when I arrived here a few years ago, everything was quite different for me.

Over the years, I have learned to adapt to the many ways of this great nation. Drinking wine for me is no longer a social dining experience but an ordinary activity. Sometimes my hubby and I drop everything we do and talk about our lives and plans over a bottle of wine. In my grocery list, there is always a bottle or two of wines included. All these have become part of my life now, and surely when I get to visit my home country next year, I will be buying bottles of wine too.

My Perfect Party

Organizing a house party is no easy task. This was my first hand experience when our family hosted an early dinner for my husband’s officemates in celebration of our wedding anniversary. Our primary concern was the kind of foods and drinks we will serve to our guests. After a thorough planning, I and my husband agreed to enlist the services of a local restaurant. Immediately, we inquire about the menu and we were pleasantly presented with an array of delectable choices that gave us a hard time picking the suitable menu for our party. The restaurant manager also suggested some drinks compatible to the type of foods to be served. Frankly speaking, we spent almost two hours in the restaurant before we came up with our menu. Nevertheless, we were assured that our choice would surely make our party worth remembering.

Come party time. All our guests arrived just in time when all the foods are ready to be served. The waiters were all well-trained as they started giving the foods. As everyone started to eat, we already heard some pleasant comments on the foods being served. The beef steak was perfect. The roasted turkey was excellent. The sashimi was very fresh that you can still smell its appetizing scent. But what surprised the most was the Bordeaux Wine. It was served chilled and poured in clear wine glasses. It did make an impression on our guests that several of them inquired what makes a Bordeaux wine different from other wines. The waiters gladly provided the details. Indeed, we realized that the restaurant manager was correct in his expectations about Bordeaux wines.

Dad's Wine

(Wine Label... framed and hang at their house)

Dad Bill makes wine from their small vineyard. The first time, I saw their own wine in a bottle, I was so amazed. He then showed me how he made it and all the other ingredients that he used. I saw some that was in the process of fermentation. It was a new experience for me and I really enjoyed it.

He gave me a bottle of pear wine. Until now, it is in our wine rack. I hate to open it because I really want to keep it and besides I don't drink (anymore! lol).....
