Class On GlassYou need to understand I am a person who has sipped more than
his share of wine from a rough, dishwasher-scratched Duralex
("Made in France") glass, a glass with all the elegance of a
Mason jar. I own fancy stemware for serious tastings, but
cleaning it is a bother and expensive, given the burliness of my
forearm and the delicate structure of the glass stem, snap. The
Duralex, which I first experienced in a Brasserie in a town

Don't Be Fooled by Labels that Reads ‘Fragrance Free'
Wow, the label reads 'fragrance free'. That must mean the product has no artificial fragrance added to it and it's free of artificial scents. Right?

Start Your Wine Cellar The Right Way!One of the great joys of wine is being able to select a bottle
from your own cellar, perhaps one that you've been storing for
some years, draw the cork and enjoy it with friends. You can
marvel at the changes brought on by maturity and, as a bonus,
you can brag about the price you paid and congratulate yourself
on picking up such a bargain! However, wine is an ever-changing
thing and how it is stored will directly affect how quickly and
how well it ages!

Brazilian CoffeeAdultery, deceit and politics, all the makings of a modern-day
best-seller, yet this story is over 250 years old and what
ultimately led to brazilian coffee. In 1727 a Brazilian official
named Francisco de Melho Palheta was invited to mediate a heated
border dispute between French and Dutch Guiana. Both governments
were actively growing coffee in Guiana and closely guarded their

coffee seeds.
