Why I Love Wine Holders And Wine Caddies!

Aside from the brief mention here and there with regards to the Wine Bug or Bugus Erectus, very little mention has been made as to how versatile a wine holder or wine caddy really can be! At the risk of sounding like an infomercial, I would like to point out why I love wine holders and wine caddies.

A wine holder is a great way to display that single bottle of wine that you want to set apart from the rest of your collection. Maybe you have a bottle of wine that you bought while on your honeymoon in France, or maybe it?s just a bottle from the market, which you think is fabulous, either way wine bottle holders are a better option to simply standing it on the counter. We all know that bottles should not be stood up because the cork can dry out and spoil the wine, so not only does a wine holder display you favourite bottle, but it also does this the correct way!

Some wine holders also double as a wine server, which makes it even more appealing. Aside from just showing off a bottle of wine, wine servers also are a great way to serve that Chardonnay or Merlot at a dinner party. From traditional to a little more eccentric, wine servers are always a conversation piece as well as a fantastic method for displaying and serving wine.

How often have you been invited to dinner and showed up with a bottle of wine in a plastic supermarket shopping bag or a brown paper sack from the liquor store? I know I have done it many times, and always feel a little awkward showing up at a nice dinner with the bottle in a brown bag that makes you look like a bum. Enter the wine caddy! Able to hold from one bottle to a few, a wine caddy is, in my humble opinion, a much better way of transporting wine. Some even hold wine glasses, which is perfect if you are looking to have a lovely picnic in the park (be aware of public drinking laws before doing this, while it might be acceptable in some places, others you could get arrested).

So this is why I love the wine caddy and the wine holder! So many styles and so many uses, I only wish I had written about them sooner!

Cafe Caturra on Grove Pulls Out all the Stops

Fri, 05 Sep 2008 11:43:37 PDT
Cafe Caturra on Grove Pulls Out all the Stops My 3-year-old and I stopped by Cafe Caturra Coffee & Wine on Grove Avenue near Maple this morning to check it out. It opened last week, and I’ve been driving by and wondering — why is it attracting so much attention. Every time I go by, it’s busy. Really busy considering that most of the customers have found out by word of mouth and there is a Starbucks directly across the street! My 3-year-old was immediately impressed with the “candle l

A Bottle and a Half

Fri, 05 Sep 2008 10:19:00 PDT
Like music, wine is made in an almost limitless variety of styles to suit every meal, mood or occasion. Within any given bottle you might find an uplifting sparkling wine; a fresh and racy white; a lusty red, or a luscious dessert wine. The problem is, however, that because so many people are limited to drinking from a single bottle during dinner, they stick with what they’re used to, and don’t explore or venture into the different wines a restaurant might have.

Fri, 05 Sep 2008 10:01:00 PDT
Filed under: Snacks, West Coast, Restaurants, Pork, America, Comfort Food, Meat, Fast Food, Local Eating, Bread I like to think that I generally have good taste. I try to avoid wearing stripes with plaids, am careful to pair robust red wines with my Big Macs, and only eat Sweet Tarts on days that end in "y." That having been said, I must admit that I have a few weaknesses, the most egregious of which revolve around sweetened pork products. To put it bluntly, I can't resist them. For a long tim

5 Tips for hosting Bordeaux Night

Fri, 05 Sep 2008 10:00:34 PDT
Bordeaux is one of the largest wine producing regions in the world and the home of some of the most famous wines in the world including the “Grand Cru” wines. But that’s not the whole story. Many Bordeaux wines are inexpensive, easy to drink, accessible, generally lower in alcohol than typical California wines, and pair well with food. Even if you’re not planning a trip overseas, host a “Bordeaux Night” so you and your friends can taste and discover some new wines to enjoy. 1. Find a bargai
