Ever felt awkward when ordering wine at a restaurant? Ever walked into a wine store and had no idea where to begin, what to buy or how much to pay?
Ever looked at a European wine label and wondered what’s in there? Then Wine-Flair.com is just for you. It’s all about wine education and appreciation, written in plain language.
When you’re having a party, it’s easy and fun to buy some less-expensive wine and serve from decanters, which you may already own. You can get a basic but elegant Riedel Cabernet Decanter (shown here) from Target under $20, and many wine retailers sell decorative decanter tags that you can
I thought for a long time that Natalie McLean is a damn good writer and knew her way around a bottle and a vineyard or two. Last year some information came along to challenge that. But I had already disagreed with her when when she said (on her website) that

Your first step is to figure out how much you want to spend. So take a few minutes to consider how much wine you want and what you’ll use it for (yes, to drink, but…). For example, you may want to stock up for a holiday party, or you’d like
The Silicon-Valley Bank produced this overview of the state of the wine industry over the next two years. Most consumers may find this too industry-oriented, but take a look, anyway, if you’re at all interested in where the wine business has been recently, and where it’s likely headed. State of
With weather in the high 80s here in NJ and the entire northwest US, it’s time to think about crisp, refreshing wines meant to be served cold, out on your deck or patio with some grilled food. In other words, it’s time to think about Rose. Now, if you stay
Who knew? Here in the most densely populated state in the union, we seem to have more “make on premises”, Do-it-Yourself, hands-on winemaking shops than Doan has pills. So if you want to try your hand at making wine, and get a little professional advice and support in the process,
Meritage, as you may know, is a kind of proprietary red wine made by any number of producers in California. It’s supposedly done in the “Bordeaux style” which means it must have at least two of these varieties – Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Malbec, Merlot, and Petit Verdot – and
On this April Fool’s day 2009, Decanter magazine can’t resist its annual ruse which I’m sure has a lot of Europeans in a tizzy. As I recall, a couple years ago it was Paris Hilton being introduced as the celebrity spokesperson for Bordeaux, just at the moment, like now, of
With Passover now a WEEK away, it’s time to think about GOOD Kosher wine. Let’s start with a little understanding of what makes a wine Kosher. Grapes are grapes, neither Kosher nor non-Kosher until they arrive at the so-called crushpad where they begin the process of becoming wine. Once that

I spent about a year in Beirut during the Lebanese civil war, living in the U.S. Embassy with 12 other Marines (and an excellent Lebanese cook, Mr. Tony Saliba, who kept us jarheads well fed). As anyone who lived there anytime from 1975 until about 1990 will tell you, the
Everyone loves #bagels and #muffins and #cake. But BUYER BEWARE, DON'T BUY @Wolfermans #Bakery. Dishonest disaster of a company, rips off customers, sells #inedibles. Don't believe? #Scam #RIPOFF @1800flowers @pissedconsumer See: https://trustpilot.com/review/wolfermans.com
I think #BoissonNY should refund my money for the 4-pack of #Lautus de-alcoholised "wines} from S. Africa. They are awful an…
@OpenTable needs to get its act together. I was texted this morning to confirm a reservation for tomorrow for #Otto in #BrynMawr #PA which I did, but now getting multiple requests to re-confirm. When a "service" just becomes harassment it's not a "service." #OpenTable's logon… https://x.com/i/web/status/1859323860174373164 https://x.com/WineFlair/status/1859323860174373164/photo/1

@LundbeckES @AEMICE_ Yeah, I live that way. I know. I also know the outrageous cost of your @CGRP med @vyeptiHCP, which is the most expensive in its class and is a total failure for me. To say nothing to getting hit with an unapproved balance bill of $1301 that violates the Federal "No Surprises… https://t.co/gbb8dVaye5
