What wine should I serve with my creamy lasagna rollups?

March 11, 2010

I am having company and am new at this wine thing, so I was hoping you could help me. I am serving an herby lasagna roll-up recipe that has lots of fresh veggies, no meat and ricotta/mozzarella along with pasta inside of it. It has a somewhat strong herb (basil, oregano, etc…) cream & mozzarella cheese sauce. What wine would you recommend? White or red, and any particular suggestions that you think will go well with it? Any ideas for the meal as far as appetizers are fine too, but I really need to know about the wine mostly.
I want to clarify that it’s not a marinara sauce at all, it’s a cream sauce. It does have fresh tomatoes as one of the ingredients, but it’s not your typical lasagna. It’s not “tomatoey” at all! :)

In wine-tasting, what’s the difference between aroma, and nose?

March 7, 2010

I know wine-tasters often take a gentle sniff of the wine they’re drinking before they actually taste it. I’ve heard of wine described as having a “nutty nose.” How do nose and aroma actually differ?
Thanks guys! I always thought there was a difference, but I guess not.

What is the best way to store wine without a cellar?

February 27, 2010

I have just started to collect wines. Rather buy expensive wine on sale. I kon’t know anything about wine, it just started calling to me. I don’t think I have had a glass of wine in 3 months. I do not have a wine cellar or wine rack. Should wine stand up or lay down during storage? What temperture? Should I keep it in the refridgerator? I love looking at the bottles. Have I become weird?

What could i use in place of cooking wine? Also how old do you have to be to buy Cooking Wine?

February 27, 2010

I’m 20 years old and i like to cook with wine, and i dont live at home anymore so i cant buy any. And a few of my recipes ask for red wine, or sherry. Sometimes white wine, but mainly red wine. I was woundering if there was anything i could use in place of the wine or sherry? Also how old do you have to be to buy cooking wine? At my grocery store the cooking wine is by the vinegar, so would i be able to buy it?

What red wine is relatively affordable and will benefit from a few years’ aging?

February 19, 2010

I am turning 21 this November, and while this means I don’t have a long history with or knowledge of wine consumption and storage, I have greatly enjoyed the few glasses I’ve had with family friends and relatives over the past few years. Because I am not a huge partier, I’d like to commemorate my turning 21 by purchasing a bottle of wine (preferably red) on that day, then save it for a few years to finally open on another birthday. I have no specific plan, I just like the idea of buying a bottle of wine on my 21st and drinking it on some future birthday, as soon as the next year or as late as 50.
Being only 20 I obviously don’t have the grandest budget for this, but I was hoping someone would have a few bottles or vintages I should look into–or just a particular type of wine that is always likely to improve with moderate aging.
Thanks so much!

Does drinking water after drinking wine make you drunker, or get you drunk again, and why?

February 11, 2010

I’ve been a fan of wine for a long time. I have many friends that say wine is great, because after drinking wine, you can drink water, and get drunker or drunk again. Or after a night of drinking wine, in the morning if you drink water, you’ll get drunk again.

Being an avid wine fan, I have yet to ever experience this amazing phenomenon. So, is it true, and if so, why does it work.
