ADVERTISING: Advertorial — GEORGE BALLING: Wine tricks

Over the years working in the wine industry, like any industry really, you learn tricks. Tricks for everything from opening wine bottles to preserving wine, to even resealing it when you put it back in the wine rack or refrigerator. Some seem so simple once you know them, but unless you work in the business of wine day-in and day-out, you might not ever discover these short cuts. Here are some of our favorites and most useful.

Common wine misconceptions

This time of year when folks are buying wine as gifts for friends and family we get many questions about wine - from grapes to packaging - that in many cases are simple misconceptions regarding the manufacture, flavors and origins of fermented grape juice so here are answers to some of the more common ones.

Wine clubs, wine clubs everywhere

As the popularity and accessibility of wine grows so does the proliferation of wine clubs. While joining a club at a local shop, your favorite winery or some other organization is a great way to get well priced access to some of your favorite wines, as consumers there are some things to watch out for too.

Embracing diversity

Diversity is a hot topic these days, but for most wine consumers it never really has been all that controversial. As regular readers know trying all the different wines we have available in North Idaho is my favorite part of the adventure. From the somewhat predictable and familiar big muscular California Cabernet to the light bodied and subtle French Beaujolais, to the esoteric Carménère and Bonarda of South America, they all have their place in the wine rack. In whites, I can embrace the full butter oak bomb Chardonnays all the way to the steely Gruner Veltliners and everything in-between. Producers from the New World appellations of the US, New Zealand Australia and South America, as well as those from the Old World like France, Italy, Hungary, Spain, and even those from the Middle East will all find their way into the shop.
