Writing about About Wine was indeed a spontaneous decision on my part. I solemnly hope that this was a wise decision that I had made.

Meddersheimer Altenberg Riesling Spaetlese 2003 (Blue Bottle)

All around Germany, sources for good quality regional wines are drying up as the small local cooperatives are closing down. The Rheingrafenberg is the only co-op still in operation in the Nahe region, but they are turning out great wines and are experiencing equally great success. Since 1929 a small group of vintners have been turning out fine wines from the little-seen upper Nahe. The Meddersheimer co-op was recognized by Frank Schoonmaker in 1983 as one of Germany's best co-ops. This "peachy" Riesling Spaetlese comes in a blue bottle and is grown in the regions top single vineyard: Meddersheimer Altenberg. MAS03 MAS03

Creating the perfect mix between wine and food can be a challenge if you're not entirely sure what you're doing. With such an array of wine and food available there are always many options to consider. When planning a dinner, choose combinations that are popular with a wide range of people. You should always ensure that the wine doesn't overpower the dish, and you also need to avoid flavor transferring. This occurs when a flavor is passed from the wine to a meal, as it can result in an unpleasant taste.

Buying wine online is steadily gaining popularity as everything else on the internet. The internet offers a convenient means to order wine from the comforts of home. However, due to the nature of wine, there are issues you must consider when purchasing wine online. This is especially true if you are new to purchasing anything online.

1. Legal issues. Some states will require you to provide identification as to whether you are of legal age. Some states prohibit the delivery of wine products across different states. Also make sure you read the purchase agreements between you and the online store. Don't hesitate to ask questions or make your expectations known. Most online stores have support e-addresses to contact in this case. Make sure the seller has a return guarantee on bad wine.

2. Reliability of the online store. Most people, when new to purchasing online, are tentative regarding online payments and orders. For added security, you should make follow up confirmations through phone and fax. If the company you are purchasing wine from doesn't have numbers regarding such, skip that company and look for others that do.

The reason for this is not just to calm your nerves regarding online purchases, but also to promote good business habits. You never know if there has been any technical or clerical errors regarding your order.

You may alternately contact business bureaus and similar organizations within your state to make sure that the company you are dealing with is legitimate and in good standing.

3. Shipping. Shipping may add a significant amount to your purchase so make sure you consider the shipping costs of each delivery. If your online store doesn't mention the price of the shipping, it would be wise for you to find out.

4. Look at auctions. When you get comfortable with the ins and outs of online purchasing - and feel sufficiently secure in you dealing and buying skills, you may want to look at online wine auctions and sales. Although they pose a significant risk to buyers (as do all auctions), they present the greatest chance for you to purchase vintage wines at affordable costs.

When doing so, you will have to increase your care ten-fold. However, the payoff for such activities is so big; you might just about find yourself stalking the internet for such deals.

The internet is fast becoming the next supermarket. Although it pays to ease into it gently, it remains the trend of the future, so why not jump in now?

White Wine: When creating a wine and food combination, Chardonnay is best complimented with Veal, Salmon, grilled cheese and white sauce. You should avoid spicy foods with this drink. Gewurztraminer is ideal when matched with Pork, Chinese foods and Swiss cheese but must be avoided with light foods. Pinot Grigio is not an ideal option for Tomatoes and spicy food as this combination may create a rather unpleasant taste. Riesling is a very dry wine and perfect when teamed with Veal, Shrimp, cream sauces and Turkey. Sweet food should be avoided with Riesling and Sancerre however.
