Smoking is a culinary technique where food is exposed to the smoke from burning or smoldering materials suchas hardwood, while being previously marinated with salt and sugar. Which are the most commonly smoked food? Cold meat and sausages, salmon, tuna, sardines, cod and also cheese. Note that usually this kind of viands are eaten raw without any garnish.
Claudio which wines do you recommend me?
The technique of smoking food brings us back to ancient times when it was a way of preserving food in the long term. For this kind of food, there is a wide range of possible pairings. I would match a few slices of smoked salmon with some rosé sparkling wine that has good acidity so it can bear the oily texture of salmon and still retain its personality, a similar excellent choice are vinous champagnes with Pinot Noir as main grape. To relish a good jerky beef nothing as a powerful and structured red wine such as a crianza red wine from Ribera del Duero or a Mencía from Bierzo.
Technically the vast majority of wines have cork stoppers, as cork is the essential material used to get the bottle completely sealed and prevent wine from being spilled. However, sometimes we say that a wine has "cork-taint" when it presents a set of undesirable peculiar smells and/or tastes similar to cork, mildew, humidity, fungus... definitely moldy and not enticing to the taster, on the palate it is astringent with raspy finish. Then, this is a defect in the wine. Though other compounds can be involved, the cork taste is mostly attributed to the 2,4,6-trichloroanisole(TCA) which might have contamined the cork during the transformation from the bark of the oak cork into a cork stopper. On the other hand, there are studies that set the origin of the contaminating TCA in the woods in contact with the wine during the aging process (barrels, casks, pallets, trained wine post and cages of wood).
Often the cork taste comes with a bland and tasteless flavour in wine.

At Gourmet Hunters the standard shipment charge is calculated for a 6 bottles box or about 10Kg weight (consider 6 bottles of 75 cl with an approximate weight of 10 kilograms). The price of transport, besides the requested wines, also includes boxes packing accredited by international transport leading companies to ensure safe transportation, the insurance against loss or damage and VAT in those countries where value added tax is applied.

Contrary to what many people think, the sediments in a red wine determine that we are in front of an authentic (artisanal) wine with few oenological clarification and filtration treatments. Sediments are basically dead yest cells, insoluble grape pulp and skin, dye matter and a natural part of the wine. This does not in any way mean that the wine is bad or has gone off, in fact, wine that has sediment in the bottle is foten quite good. Why this trend of getting rid of them?

Includes any recipe that has rice as main ingredient prepared together with veal, pork, poultry or wild rabbit meat. In any of its varieties, to be able to obtain a luscious flavourful dish, meat has to be roasted slowly if possible in a earthenware casserole dish, where the bresa or mirepoix (stirfried chopped vegetables and spices) are also prepared. Finally the rice is cooked along with the meats in a meat broth to intensify its taste. Which of these meat rices is your favorite?

Claudio which wines would you recommend me?
My recommendation would be that you try sparkling wines including even some Pinot Noir’s champagne. Also it works perfectly with fragant and light red wines chiefly those with a short oak aging without forgetting barrel aged rosé wines, these latter might be the best for these type of rices.
Includes any recipe with the rice as main ingredient along with fish, mussels and crustaceans. The dish can be presented creamy in broth, without it or cooked in paella. The secrect behind a perfect rice is the well known mirepoix or bresa (stirfried chopped vegetables and spices). Once we have this, we cook the rice in a seafood fumet (white broth made with pieces of white fish and shrimps or other small shellfish); depending on the quantity of fumet we will achieve that rice is much soupy or drier. Still haven't found your fish rice? Seafood paella, rice with lobster, rice with cod, rice in green sauce with cockles, rice with sea cucumbers, and an endless llist of seaside recipes.
Claudio which wines would you recommend me?
Fish rice dishes because of its marine component are simply crying out for either light and crispy white wines, rosé wines or sparkling wines. For instance, a succulent seafod paella matches perfectly with a rosé wine from Navarra and a creamy rice with lobster is even better with a saline and mineral white Ribeiro wine.

Precipitations in the form of white crystals (also known as “wine diamonds”) in a white wine, also known chemically as potassium bitartrate salts, are formed by tartraric acid (natural of the wine) that are in free suspension in the wine. When the wine is aged at a non-stabilised room temperature, the action of the cold transform the acid into salt; chemically an acid is a salt. Tartaric acid is one of the most prevalent acids in the wine followed by the malic.
Usually in the wine industry, prior to bottling, white wine is carried through cold stabilization to prevent the tartrates and eliminate the possibility of its appearing during its consumption. Needless to say that white crystals are in no way harmful to the health... is a natural product of the wine and at large a sign that the wine is of good quality!

Three factors are involved in the colour in the wines: the variety character, as for example the wines of the Syrah grapes tend to an intense purple color; the different operations during the vinification for instance the maceration time, the amount of wine press, etc...; and finally, the ageing evolution in the bottle that causes the oxidation of the color over the years.

Stews and sauce dishes fit perfectly with Syrah wines. And do not throw away the possibity of a vinous crianza sparkling wine to enjoy a spicy seasoned steak tartare.
All wine producers try to determine the optimal maturity of grapes for the wine harvest, but how can this be done? There are two basic parameters to stablish the best moment for the harvest: the acidity and the sugar content (alcohol). Many cellars are sometimes only governed by the presumable alcoholic strength to decide the time of harvest: this is a mistake! The alcoholic strength is one sign of maturity, but it is not the only one.
There are a lot of wines (mostly in northern areas) where producers pursue an almost perfect harvest, with the accurate balancing between alcohol, acidity and tannins, but keeping at the same time the maximum acidity in the wines. Acidity will give the wines a fresh, vigorous, long character and also increases the product’s shelf live, allowing the wine to evolve in perfect condition.
Keep in mind that the acidity is a natural preserver of the wine!

Claudio which wines would you recommend me?
With caviar… bubbles! Crianza sparkling wines are the best match with this prized exquisiteness of delicate texture.
Another rather bold but really successful option is the pairing of caviar with a fortified wine like fino to merge the salinity of both products with surprising results.
The carbonic acid gas or carbon dioxide is the result of a second fermentation in bottle for sparkling wines produced by the method champenoise: the blended wine is bottled adding a small sugar base and yeast and then. stored in the cellar horizontally for a second fermentation. Bubbles appear due to the action of the carbonic anhydride, yeast turns sugar into alcohol and releases carbon dioxide during the fermentation.

There are several types of chocolate, depending on the contains and proportions of cocoa solids and cocoa butter, which can also contain sugar, milk, dried fruit, fruits, liquor… Chocolate might be the worst enemy of wine as it modifies the sense of taste, emphasizing the bitter and acid flavours of wine. To achieve an excellent pairing, both products should be smooth and elegant, the stronger the chocolate is, much body the wine requires.

Liquid Sulphur dioxide is added to the wine as an antioxidant and antiseptic measure, preventing the wine to get spoiled by bacteria and oxidation: the sulphur protects wine polyphenols creating an anaerobic environment avoiding the oxidation by oxygen; it is also known by his anti-microbial power hindering future fermentation restart and/or attacks of undesirable bacteria.
This is a technique for food preservation in which food is introduced in a solution of water, salt and citric acid to preserve them from microorganisms and oxidations. Which canned vegetables are suitable for wine? White or green asparagus, piquillo peppers, artichokes, fried baby beans, thistles, starflower, peas, mushrooms and a long etcetera. Keep in mind that all vegetable preserves have a prior cooking process so they tend to have a soft texture. They can be consumed alone or be used as a garnish in fish, meats or salads.
Claudio which wines would you recommend me?
Who said eating vegetables is boring? With this wide range of canned vegetables you can enjoy some wild asparagus with Albariño wines from Spain or Portugal, also with fruity, aromatic whites wines of Verdejo, thistles and starflower with dry and light white wines of Palomino Fino and stir-fried mushrooms in their own juice will have its perfect pairing with fortified winessuch as oloroso.
There is a small market for wines without sulphur dioxide where the producer vinified and bottled the wine free from sulphur dioxide. Only few growers are committed to this somewhat risky practice since flawless sanitary measures both at the vineyard and the winery are needed to carry out this type of wine.
Additionally, transport of sulfur-free wine has to be done carefully as any sudden temperature change might oxidate the wine, (wine without sulfur are more fragile).
According to the atmospheric pressure, climatic changes and even moon phases these wines can: be either gentle or shy (closed); present a slight turbidity in case it has not been filtered; have natural carbon dioxide as a natural protection; and finally it can be considered relatively normal to scent animal aromas appeared during the reduction process.

Absolutely not!

The pickling creates a perfect combination of the main food flavours with the sourness of the vinegar, while the spices enhance its taste through a marinating process.

This may be one of the most difficult matches but I would dare to say it is enough to select a wine with acid architecture and some spark of residual sugar. A off-dry Riesling such as a German Kabinett from the Mosel area will match masterfully the sweet-spicy taste of pickled poultry. Also light and fresh Brut sparkling wines are other stimulating pairing for pickled fish and shellfish.
Yeasts are microscopic fungus responsible for the fermentation of sugars and/or carbohydrates which convert sugar into alcohol. Yeasts used in winemaking are mainly saccharomyces (sugar mold), which produce alcohol (ethanol) and release carbon dioxide.
Of course! A mash can be fermented whether adding yeast (exogenously) or leaving its own yeasts, stuck to the grape skin, to start a spontaneous fermentation (endogenous).

Yes. There is plenty of commercial yeasts that affect wine aroma/flavour and its taste, for instance Levuline alsace yeast from Oenofrance, widely used in Sauvignon Blanc and Riesling wines as it enhances the distinctive flavour of the grape variety.
During the fermentation the yeast originate volatile and aromatic compounds, as well as other substances, that might give wine a taste combination of saltiness, bitterness and acidity as for example the succinic acid. These is commonly known by secondary aroma/flavour of the fermentation.

Regarded as a luxury dish, it is mainly consumed fresh, poêlé (grilled) or mi-cuit (semi-cooked) on toasted bread.
Claudio which wines would you recommend me?
Doubtlessly the oily texture of the foie-gras needs sweet white wines with good acidity such as Moscatel, maybe a Rieslingof late-harvest grapes (spätlese) from the German region of Mosel with a mi-cuit foie-gras. Another interesting option is a grilled foie-gras in combination with a sweet white wine of Montsant made from raisined grapes.

White fishes, thanks to its low fat content, are perfect partners with white and red wines of scanty consistence, light personality and good acidity as for instance: any calcareous wine from the Chablis appellation, all the fruity and aromatic Riesling wines of Nahe appellation; every white wine from Muscadet Sèvre Maine appellation at the Loire department; the white wines of Rioja made with Viura grapes, as well as those red wines with Pinot Noir, Gamay or Merenzao match exquisitely with a good baked hake, steamed bream or grilled scorpionfish.

In the amazing world of desserts, the leading role is played by sweet wines. Normally we match chocolate or cocoa desserts with red sweet wines and other desserts with white sweet wines. A Sachertorte based on cake, apricot jam and dark chocolate or simply a few nuts are a charming partnership with red sweet wines made from raisined grapes, as well as a Colheita Porto. On the other hand, a creamy tropical fruit shortcake borders perfection if you pair it with sweet wines made from botrytis-affected grapes.

You have to consider the gradient of alcohol and the dose of sulphur acid in the wine will affect our organism differently depending on its value. It has been proved that the human body can metabolize better a wine with low doses of sulphur, while high doses can be toxic and induce nausea, headaches and gastric irritation.
Usually the higher alcohol content a wine has, the bigger sensation of heaviness will be and as a consequence, the more difficult its consumption is. However, the acidity plays an important role in this sensation of heaviness. Thus, it is interesting to find a balance between both components: alcohol and acidity.
A wine with a 13% of alcohol and a low acidity may be heavier than a wine with 14 % of alcohol and a good acidity!
Is the general classification of cow's milk, sheep's milk or goat's milk cheeses, with cultures of the blue and or greenish-gray mold Penicillium added to give them their characteristic blue-green veins and aged in temperature controlled natural caves or cellars.

Due of its complex taste, salty blue cheeses match very well with sweet white wine, as those from the French Sauternes appellation, those from the German Riesling and also red sweet wines such as Porto.

This category includes all the chesses made out of cow’s milk, sheep’s milk and goat’s milk and cream which gives the unique texture due also involving a signifiacative increase in fat content. Creamy cheeses have different intensities, which may range from bittersweet to a very strong sharp and pungent flavour with prevalence of tarty, spicy and salty sensations and with a fermier scent; the cheese paste is usually soft with a mouldy rind in cases such as Brie de Meaux or with a humid one which would be the case of Munster cheeses due to the washing during its maturing that might be done with brine or spirits. In this section, France is the largest producer of creamy handmade cheeses of raw milk. Which are the best creamy cheeses? Among Spanish creamy cheeses stand out Torta del Casar, Tupí, Afuega’l Pitu, while for the French ones we can highlight Brie, Camembert, Saint-Marcelin, Saint-Félicien, Munster, Epoisses and Crottin de Chavignol.
Claudio, which wines would you recommend me?
My advice for pairing creamy chesses, mainly based on its texture, are young white wines and with good acidity. As for red wines I would recommend you to choose young, light ones, with what we could say white wine personality.
You have to bear in mind that creamy cheeses with strong flavour need wines with more acidity. An excellent matching are Sparkling wines and those white wines with intense character as those made from Riesling grapes containing residual sugar. With red wines, I would suggest you tasting wines with light red colour as those made with Pinot Noir.
Absolutely not! Urban legends may blame wines with excessive acidity for causing heartburn, even create stomach ulcers. Who said ulcer? There are clinical reports that indicate ulcers are common in sweetened soft drinks consumers... If you have ulcers and you are a wine drinker of wine read on...
The acidity in the wines is a sign of ageing potential: for instance, German wines of the Riesling variety have an extreme acidity that rends these wines excellent for ageing. Keep in mind that acidity is a natural preservative!

Encompasses a wide range of cow’s milk, sheep’s milk or goat’s milk cheeses, aged through a process where they are dried and cooked or notn; ranging from semi-hard or semi-cured chesse up to extra hard depending on the time of its aging in cellars, this curing process provides a quite hard and dry texture as well as enhances the intensity of flavour, highly appreciated by cheese lovers; minimum ageing time for a cheese to be considered cured is six months, but generally it requires about one and a half years or two; milk used can be either raw or pasteurized depending on the treatments before the elaboration process; the rind can be simply brushed or washed with oil, distillates, or spices. Which are the most prestigious cured cheeses? Manchego, Idiazábal, Comte, Beaufort, Reblochon, Morbier, parmesan, pecorino, Emmental, Gruyere, Gouda and Cheddar.
Claudio which wines would you recommend me?
You will enjoy cured cheeses mainly with crianza red wine or reserve from Rioja, Ribera del Duero or Chianti appellations. For semi-hard cheeses I would much more recommend you dry and light white wines with good acidity and sometimes saline reminiscences as those from Jerez-Manzanilla, Jura or Ribeiroappellations and wines made from Albariño or Riesling grapes.
The only explanation we have is that sulphur dioxide (SO2) consumed in large doses which in large doses can cause dizziness and headaches.
Sulfur is a chemical component used in the wine industry to prevent wine oxidation, and also rot and mildew from developing. The more healthy the harvest is and the higher hygiene in the cellar, the less of sulphur dioxide will be used.
Note that the maximum total legal dose of sulphur in wine is approximately 150mg/l, and we may find wines in the market with just 50mg/l.
It is absolutely true and has been scientifically proven that moderate consumption of wine has beneficial effects to the whole body: it prevents cardiovascular problems, prevents ageing, and other diseases such as Alzheimer's or cancer.
As everything in live, in due proportion! There is no food that taken in excess, does not have a negative effect to health. Can you imagine having red lobster rice for breakfast, lunch and dinner? The cholesterol and uric acid levels would go up the wall!
Japanese dish, vinegared sushi rice-based, garnished with fish and seafood. It may also include fresh vegetables and seaweeds that enhance the taste of the fish. What does sushi taste like? There are many kinds of sushi, variety arises from the preparation and additions whether it is sashimi (raw fish only), sushi (fish and rice) or maki (fish, rice and nori), the tastes are delicate, light and refined, always provided the fish and/or seafood are in perfect condition. In this type of dish, the textures prevail over the flavour.
Claudio which wines would you recommend me?
Due to its delicate composition and pure flavors, I match sushi with wines produced from white varieties: out of sparkling wines to compensate the rice texture, up to white wines, as for instance those ones from Chablis, Penedès, Ribeiro and Rías Baixas appellations, certainly including off-dry wines with good acidity made from Riesling, able to outweigh the extremely pungent flavour of wasabi.
A glass of white wine and/or red wine have about 80 calories, which is equivalent to those of an whole-wheat chocolate cookie, so it would take about 20 minutes walking to burn those calories. Furthermore, think that a glass of semi-skimmed milk has about 100 calories.
If we talk about storing temperature it refers to cellar temperature. In this case it is recommended to keep wine between 12ºC and 16ºC ( 54ºF to 60ºF) with a relative humidity around 70%.
Please note that a low temperature storage will make your wines evolve slowly.
It depends! For the large majority of rosé wines the advise is to consume them on the same year of its market launch, because the fresh and fruity profile distinctive of rosé wines tends to disappear over time.
There are isolated cases of rosé wines that had a short ageing in wood and/or have been fermented in fudres (huge casks) that have a great acid and tannic potential, being perfect for the ageing. If you are interested, you have to investigate which peculiar rosé wines are suitable for ageing in the cellar. Some of the rosé wines we could taste and consider could meet the expectations of getting better with age are: Domaine de l’Horizon Rosé in Languedoc-Roussillon; Pricum Rosado Barrica in Castilla y León; Nistal Rosado in Monterrei; Viña Tondonia Rosado Gran Reserva Viña in Rioja; and Gran Caus Rosado in Penedès.
There are different brands specialized in glass manufacturing such as Riedel, Zalto, Schott and Spigeleau, with different designs according to the type of wine and/or style. In Riedel, for instance, each collection of glasses has a different shape according to each grape variety so you can choose the right glass for your wine.
However, as you go deeper into the wine world you will discover yourself the different types and manufacturers that best suit you. Consider that depending on the type of glass used you can get different results with a same wine.
It is recommended to decant red wines that present sediments due to light filtering or those wines from old vintages presenting a considerable degree of solid matter. By decanting wine the sediments are separed and also wine is aerated.
It is also recommended to decant those red and white wines that are closed or reduced in order to oxygenate them. Whenever you open a bottle and notice wine is aromatically blank (closed) or presents animal aromas (reduction), do not hesitate to decant the wine.
Depending on the type of wine and the dose of sulphur, a wine will withhold its quality more or less time once the bottle has been opened (between 2 and 4 days). Hence, all the Riesling variety wines produced in Germany are usually unbeatable in this sense and can be consumed days after its opening, due to its high acidity and the important concentration of sulphur dioxide they keep its properties and characteristics.
Additionally, we strongly recommend using a manual vacuum pump to re-seal any opened bottle (Vacuvin) and needless to say, place it in the refrigerator: you will appreciate the difference and enjoy again any left over wine!
In the event that wine freezes, absolutey yes. Many times haste makes waste and when trying to lower the temperature of a wine quickly, if we use the freezer for a short time span (20 minutes maximum) there should be no problem, however if we keep it longer, it can reach the freezing point and that will entail loosing most of the aroma and taste.
Of course! Both the quality of the materials and the geometry of the glass make a difference in the taste and smell. Big bowls allow the volatilization of all aromatic constituents enhancing them while the crystal affects the sight evaluation, the swirl and the touch of the wine.
Put to the test the same wine in an ordinary glass and the appropriate crystal stemware... you'll be surprised!
It is possible that you notice slight differences in a wine from the same producer and vintage from one bottle to another. You have to consider: storing conditions of the wine been before its purchase; storage temperature (between 12 °C and 16 °C) without sudden changes; and purchasing the bottles from the same supplier or different ones.
If all the points above detailed above are correct it is will be difficult to notice any difference in the wine. Still, don’t forget that any bottle can be affected by TCA (Cork taste) and also that wine evolves over the years so the same bottle will have different taste and aromatic atributes over the years.
Our nose has a limit to smell and discriminate fragrances, so during a wine tasting of many wines we can easily get saturated. A very common trick among perfumers is to vigorously smell coffee beans since it neutralizes the pituitary gland.
If we find ourselves in this situation unfortunately there is not a right answer as many factors can affect the conditions of the wine and perhaps the wine is past its optimum time of consumption. Thus, we are facing a big question!
The best thing to do in these cases is action: don't be afraid and uncork the bottle to find it out. If you detect any faults or has lost its qualities, try to discover if it is a specific problem of the bottle opening another one. Should the second bottle be equal to the first, just give up and place the rest of bottles in your collection showcase!
The basic and foolproof rule to know which wines suit your taste and preferences is learning how to distinguish them by styles. This way you can try different wines and organize them by its properties, according to the structure, the aromatic power and by the ageing.
At GourmetHunters homepage you can browse through wine styles (light and crispy white,aromatic and fragrant white,deep and mineral white,creamy and structured white,semi-dry white,orange wines,fruity and juicy red,fragrant and light red,deep and complex red,Ripe and elegant red,powerful and structured red,light and vibrant sparkling,creamy and ripe sparkling,ancestral and crazy sparkling,fruity and vibrant rosé,delicate and fragrant rosé,fresh and vibrant sweet,ripe with aging sweet,red sweet and white sweet ) and by type of ageing (barrel aged whites, young whites, young reds, young crianza reds, crianza reds, reserve reds, grand reserve reds, etc .)
Let’s take an example: If you like soft red wine, light and with little structure, in that case the best option are wines grown in cold climates such as Galicia and the Burgundy from Mencia or Pinot Noir variety; on the other hand you're a lover of powerful red wines, with personality and alcoholic, you will have to look for wines grown in warm areas such as Priorat or Rhone with varieties that provide structure such as Cabernet Sauvignon or Syrah.
The best way to learn about your favourite wine is sorting by styles!
The art of the pairing is based in adapting a wine to a dish and its main ingredients. The thing gets harder when we have a dinner and face to 2 or 3 different courses: a starter, a meat and a fish. In this case you can choose between: pairing the various dishes with a same wine if you have the option to decide on dishes with a same tune; or you can choose a different wine for each different dish if there are discrepancies between them.
As an example think about a menu that combines a tomato tartar with marinated mackerel, grilled tuna tataki with asparagus and veal sweetbreads with pumpkin purée. In this case you could pick out a fresh, nimble wine, with a fruit explosion of the variety Gamay from the denomination of origin Beaujolais, or a white wine with wood, fruity aroma and acidity from Treixadura variety from the denomination of origin Ribeiro.
