FEATURES

The Sideways Sensation:
Changing the Ways of Average Joe cum Connoisseurs
by Kim Fay
The "Sideways" phenomenon shows no signs of slowing down. Wine shops are selling out of Pinot Noir, and hotels in the Santa Barbara wine region can't book rooms fast enough. How did a small film manage to change the behavior of folks around the country?


Chicken Everybody Loves:
What to Pair with Your Favorite Chicken Dishes

by Randal Caparoso
Chicken loves wine, and picking a good one is not a difficult task. The great thing about chicken is that there are 1,001 ways to cook it---and undoubtedly a 1,001 wines to go with it. A good wine can elevate the most pedestrian of chickens to an aesthetic level.


Top 10 Brunch Wines:
Best of the Brunch

by Louis Charles
Spring has arrived and with it one of America's favorite rituals: Getting together on Sundays over short stacks and scrambles to while away a leisurely morning in good company. Here are our favorite wines to pair at this festive affair.


TASTINGS & EVENTS

Spring is teeming with fabulous wine events around the country. In April alone, wine lovers can choose from Taste Washington Seattle, the 15th Annual Rare Wine & Lifestyle Auction in Sonoma, UNLVino in Las Vegas and the Fifth Annual Heart's Delight Wine Tasting & Auction in DC! Check out our events calendar to see every important festival at a glance.

Here are the top winemaker dinners and wine tastings in the country. You will find local events in your area for the neophyte (e.g. learn the "Four S's" of wine tasting) and seasoned pro (e.g. exclusive affairs with the world's biggest chefs, master sommeliers and vintners).

SHOP & GREAT VALUES

The Nose Knows Best
As we grow older our noses grow longer---the better to identify wine aromas. But have you ever wondered how tasters get leather, vanilla and cut grass all in one glass of Cabernet? Train your "wine nose" with Nez du Vin's comprehensive aroma kit to develop your sense of smell.
Black: The New Clear
These black, opaque Scandinavian glasses have one specific use: wine tasting without psychologically being influenced by the juice's color---an interesting idea worth examining.
Wine Country USA: Touring, Tasting and Buying at America's Regional Wineries
Here's a
perfect treasure-hunting map for wine lovers and connoisseurs.
Author Matthew DeBord takes us on a tour of the ten most promising wine regions in the country and explores more than 50 American wineries and their products.
What's in Your Cache?
There's nothing that spoils the fun of a carefully planned evening than opening a damaged bottle you thought was safely ripening in your wine cellar. As your tastes grow up and collecting wine becomes a serious business, you may want to consider investing in proper storage gear to avoid such pitfalls.
