Thanksgiving in Wine Country

Sheryl Stewart — Thu, 24 Nov 2011 04:40:29 +0000

Whether you are a brand new wine lover or already have a sophisticated palate, Thanksgiving weekend is the perfect time to visit the wineries of the Willamette Valley. This year, over 163 wineries in the Willamette Valley are opening their doors for a Wine Country Thanksgiving. You’ll be able to sample wines that are hard to find, enjoy special pricing on special bottles…..and even enjoy live entertainment, gourmet food, and more! It’s a great way to learn more about wine, while enjoying time with friends! My husband & I took a wine tasting adventure this weekend at JK Carriere Wines. We enjoyed some great conversation with Jim Prosser, owner & winemaker at JK Carriere…..and found some new pinots to take home for Thanksgiving. This year, the wineries of the Willamette Valley have developed a smart phone app that will help you perfectly plan your Thanksgiving Wine Country Escape. Go to www.willamettewinemap.com and scan the QR code to get: directions, hours, information, and more for over 190 Willamette Valley wineries. You can also get more info at www.willamettewines.com!

Here’s a brief video overview of our visit!

Levi’s Says “STOP Washing Your Jeans…FREEZE Them”

Sheryl Stewart — Thu, 03 Nov 2011 21:03:10 +0000

Levi’s says we need to stop washing our jeans to help them last longer….and to help save water (and the planet). They say in the future, water costs will make the cost of cotton (and our jeans) skyrocket!!

They say FREEZING them will kill the bacteria that causes stink! Hmmmm…..I’m skeptical. Do you think it works? Does anyone actually do this?

Enjoy Your Wine More….Pair It With Music!

Sheryl Stewart — Tue, 01 Nov 2011 21:11:14 +0000

The British Journal of Psychology just published the findings of a study on how music affects how you taste wine.

Professor Adrian North of Herriot-Watt University gave taste tests to 250 students – half male, half female – while playing music in the background.

After five minutes the volunteers were asked to rank how much they felt the wine tasted. Their options matched the musical descriptions: powerful and heavy, subtle and refined, mellow and soft, zingy and refreshing.

The results showed the music the volunteers listened to consistently affected how they perceived the wine to taste!

Some pairing advice came out of this study: They found that for the best earthy and full-bodied Merlot taste experience, drinkers should try listening to Tom Jones….or to add a little zing to a glass of Pinot Grigio pull out the latest Lady Gaga album. What would YOUR suggested pairing be?
