Hello everybody. I hope you've had a great week so far. It's been a couple of weeks since I posted a Wine Wednesday post and I'm so sorry for that. I promise not to let you down again. My wife is a patron of Rue La La and they have these amazing deals on wine and I really like this Malbec. If you ever get a case of wine from Rue La La, tell me how you like it.

Hello everyone. I hope you've had a great week so far. It's Wednesday so you know what that means..........IT'S WINE TIME!!!!!! I'm super excited that Spring is here. It's a time where we experience this massive transformation from nature and it makes you want to be outside and enjoy the beautiful weather. It also means it's time to bring out different types of wine as well. Spring and Summer are Rosé and white wine season and I'm excited to be drinking this category of wine ...on the weekends. I also know that people bring out different cocktails when it's warmer so I'm curious to know what your Spring cocktail or wine of choice is when things are more pleasant outside?

Good evening everyone. I hope you enjoyed your St. Patty's Day. It's Wine Wednesday!!!!!!! and I want to talk about the feeling wine gives me. There are two things I make sure I do to get me through the week. The first is to workout 5 days a week and the second is drink two glasses of red wine on Wednesdays. There are many reasons why I consistently do that, but the main two is health and relaxation. I love the feeling that being in shape gives me and it makes me feel that I'...ve earned to drink my wine on Wednesdays which gives me the feeling of relaxation. It also helps me power through the week. What are some of the things you do to get you through the week? Wine of the Night: 2017 San Carlos Cabernet Franc by Catena

Good evening everyone. I hope you all have had a great week so far. We all know what time it is....IT'S WINE WEDNESDAY!!!!!!!. This week has been very busy, which is a good thing, and to be honest I can't wait to open this bottle of wine to relax and clear my mind so I can finish the week strong. Today's topic is aeration. When I started really getting into wine, I would notice these contraptions on the top of the wine bottles when my wife and I would go to these tastings. I ...had no idea what they were and why people needed them to drink wine. So at one of these events, I asked someone what is this object on top of the bottle and he explained to me that it was an aerator. I asked what does it do for the wine and he said that it speeds up the oxygenation process so that your wine can reach its full potential in a quick fashion. He then gave me two glasses of red wine. The first was not aerated and the other was and the difference in taste was very obvious. He said if you really want to experience a wine's full potential everytime, invest in a quality aerator, so naturally I did. He advised that normally people use it for red wines, but it's totally ok to use it for whites and rosés as well. If you don't aerate your wine already, let me know if you taste the difference.
