Merry Christmas !

Dear Show Wine readers,

We bet you were waiting for this day all year long !

Christmas here we are !

Best time to enjoy meeting with your family and friends.

In order to make the most of it, we have decided to share our Christmas wine experiences:

- Adeline is back home in Brittany, in her family's, and has decided to do wine & food pairing only with wines coming from out of France. One of them, which has been drunk with caramel roast pork, is a Californian Wine. This is an "Old vine Zinfandel", vintage 2008, from Pepperwood Grove estate.

Thanks to this wine with cocoa, caramel and vanilla tastes, the association was perfect!

- In Marie-Lou's family,  the long wine tradition and the sympathic cellar of the family house permit to choose the perfect wine to match with seafood plate : a white wine from Burgundy (Meursault), eleven years old, with vanilla, buttered and toasted aromas, and a very beautiful gold color. Her Grandma, connoisseur in wine, advices to decant it and it was the best way to taste this Saint Romain 2000.

- Marie is back home in Montauban...! Guys my family lovvveess traditions but we're not very good at it. My mum tried to cook a turkey with some apples and peers. Thanks god we were too drunk to complain about it. Anyway, the meat was amazing and we decided to go for Burgundy as well. My stepdad (told you... Not traditional) is from Dijon so we had a Beaune 1er cru 1996. Amazing aromas of strawberries and raspberries! Guy that's what I call a nice caudalie! 

- Pierre-Adrien come back to his native region in Saumur in the heart of the Loire Valley. Program for Christmas dinner: Seafood, foie gras, salmon, capon and Loire wines of course!

The best of them was certainly "Clos Rougeard 2005". A sublime Saumur-Champigny with a purple dress, some spicy and fruity aromas marked by a wonderful year!

 

We wish you a Merry Christmas!

Wine-Dating

Hi everyone ! Today Show Wine gives you

your Chritmas present ! Enjoy !

According to a survey, 68% of women think wine is an essential element for a romantic atmosphere in a date. Gentlemen, please notice ! Show Wine gives you interesting advices to impress your future dates, your wife, your girlfriend, or maybe just to show off during a dinner.

Your girl is : 

-          A gothic: you’ll need a red wine to remember her blood. Chose it robust, animal, it must turn Grandma in her grave! A Cahors could be perfect; it would bring her back from the dead.

-          Slim: Show Wine tells you a secret: champagne contents fewer calories than other wines. Be keep it secret; do not talk about her diet, she could turn upset.

-          Redhead: she’s not blond; she’s not brown, so no red wine, no white wine. Take the middle, take a rosé!

-          Jewish: think about the casher wine, Smith Haut Lafitte for example

-          A Barbie Girl: maybe a flashy rosé, matching with her nail polish, her earring, her sunglasses, her lipstick, her shoes, her bag, her dog…

-          An ordinary girl: value her; make her dream with an extraordinary wine! “California dreaming”, try a Zinfandel!

-          A small girl: do not choose a great wine; she might have an inferiority complex.

-          Wearing white: if you knock over your glass of red wine, quick scrub the stains with salt.

-          Wearing diamonds: match with a Cristal Roederer champagne, “Diamonds are a girl’s best friends!”

-          Strict: cheer her up with a funny-name wine, la Cuvée des Blaireaux (the drag growth), Pisse-Dru Beaujolais (pee-hard), les Couilles du Chien (dog’s balls), le Vin de Merde (shitty wine).

-          Catholic: Châteauneuf-du-Pape of couuuuuurse!

-          From Brittany (French region): no wine, cider!

-          Scum: take a beer and burp with her.

-          Nymphomaniac: a sweet red wine for the passion, with ginger chocolate because it’s aphrodisiac. Do not spend too much money; you are going to get laid anyway.

-          Ecologist: try an organic or biodynamic wine.

-          Feminist: do not offer her wine, she could think you want to make her drunk and prey on her. If she really wants to drink wine, give her a feminine-named wine, like Château Vénus.

-          Daddy’s girl: call your banker; make a loan, obviously the wine you’ll choose won’t be better than the ones Dad has in his cellar!

Girl advice: it is tantalizing to drink a lot in order to be confident. But remember it is not a good way, because if you are drunk, you might tell unsuitable comments about your date, of maybe talk to the wrong target.

GIRLS ! A WOMAN DRINKING

MORE THAN MEN SCARES THEM !
