Wine grape juice is white. All of it. Crazy, isn’t it. I learned that working at Old York Cellars, a winery in New Jersey. The skins from the red grapes provides color and flavor and tannins.
At that little winery near Princeton, they produced hundreds of cases of about a dozen different wines. My favorite from them was a 2015 Malbec which had none of the heat I was used to from Argentinian wines. It had a deep leathery taste with a finish of dark cherry. Oh, it was good. The 2016 Malbec was okay, but lacked that depth of the previous year.
As a wine drinker I knew that year to year wines differed. What really opened my eyes to the either vexing or amazing world of wines was how with only one real variable—the calendar—the wine was so different. The dirt was the same. The vine was the same. The only things that changed were the rain and sun and heat and cool.
From that wee vineyard of 13 harvested acres of grapes came such variety of wine. And, I have to say, I enjoyed most of them.
No wine, no wine, I got got got got no wine

Scott, the wine maker would occasionally bring us tastes of wines he had aging for special events.

Fans of wine know that proper storage does make a difference. Even if a large storage area isn’t in your needs now, a small one may be and so too may be a cooler for the wine. In the summer months, a stable environment makes good wine happy, and happy wine is a happy you. IWA has coolers and modular storage systems for all needs as well as cork screws and decanters. Check them out and start building your cellar today.
Food pairings are often a matter of personal preference, but convention does come in. Many people like a rich pâté or other cured meat to go with some fruit and a glass of wine. D’Artagnan offers some of the best charcuterie around.
