The trend is continuing to grow and so is the debate of whether a screwcap or cork is better for wine.

As more wineries consider using screwcaps instead of the traditional cork, one has to wonder how the public at large will accept the c...

This article talks a bit about Italian white wines and reviews some of my findings. The Magic Inside The Bottle – How Tequila is Made  By : Robert Palmer The process of finding the magic takes a long time. It all starts with a ripened blue agave plant. This ripening usually occurs 8 to 12 years after the seeds are planted. The leaves are then chopped away from the core of the plant by a tequila farmer, a ‘jimador’ who looks to see if the plant is ripe. This is a tedious process because if the plant is harvested too soon, there will not be enough sugars, too late and the sugars will have been used to form a once-in-a-lifetime stem called a ‘quiote’ which produces the seeds. The History of Tequila.  By : Robert Palmer The history of tequila began with the Aztec people making a fermented beverage from the agave plant which they called octli (later and more popularly called pulque). This occurred long before the Spanish arrived in 1521. Then, in the 16th century when the Spaniards arrived in Mexico, the Conquistadors brought the process of distillation with them and the people of Tequila were quick to put it to good use. They knew that the blue agave plant contained sugars that could be fermented. When the Spanish conquistadors ran out of their own brandy, they began to distill this agave drink to produce North America's first indigenous distilled spirit . By fermenting and distilling the sweet sap of the blue agave plant, they produced liquor with a distinctive taste. Tequila: The Proper Way to Drink It.  By : Robert Palmer Ah, the art of you can go back to the traditional method of drinking with salt, tequila,and lime, via the lick, sip consumption of a premium liquor. Who says that I have the right to tell you how you should drink your tequila. I must admit, I have tried the many different brands of Tequila. Whether you sip it, serve it with lime and salt add it to margarita mix, drink it room temperature or serve it chilled, Tequila is meant to be savored and enjoyed. If you want to really appreciate the full bouquet and body, try it at room temperature. Tequila is meant to be enjoyed neat. Taste it like a fine wine. It would be a shame to miss out on its full body, its aroma and its wonderful taste. Once you have appreciated its character and flavor, you can return to the salt, tequila, and lime – the lick, sip and bite- method Tequila cocktails  By : Robert Palmer Tequila - a fine, complex liquor that is best when sipped slowly. Traditionally it is served warm in order to appreciate its wonderful flavor. Most tequilas are served in a "caballito", a 2oz glass made exclusively for this purpose. Blanco and Reposado can be served with "sangrita", a tomato and orange juice mix with salt and chile. Añejo is served in a snifter so that its aroma is fully appreciated. The tequila shot with lime and salt is made from Hollywood and few people drink it that way. Some people do put lime juice in the tequila or bite the lime before sipping it. It is a matter of taste. You should choose the right tequila for your cocktail and enjoy it. TOP CASINO Part-2  By : Deepak Bansal Casinos are popular all around the world and today people prefer playing in Top Casino.
