Did you know that there is an International Sauvignon Blanc Day? It is celebrated annually in the Wine Country in New Zealand with wine tastings, dinners, visits to the wineries and cellars. It’s a great event for all wine lovers to enjoy the diversity of tastes that can be driven from one grape variety. We decided to follow New Zealanders’ tradition, and organized a Sauvignon Blanc Day of our own giving the students an opportunity to try several wines made of this world-famous grape. Sauvignon blanc originates from the Bordeaux region of France but nowadays is planted in many of the world's wine regions, producing a crisp, dry, and refreshing white varietal wine. Nowadays it’s widely cultivated in France, Chile, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, the states of Washington and California in the US.  Depending on the climate, the flavour can range from aggressively grassy to sweetly tropical. In cooler climates, the gr...

It’s summertime, the best season for the light and refreshing rosé wine that is becoming widely appreciated among wine lovers for its subtle flavours and, of course, for its soft pink colour. This is the perfect wine for bringing to a picnic in the park or for a backyard barbeque. With our beautiful tradition of weekly wine tastings, last Friday our students got a chance to try several types of rosé from France, Italy and Canada and to learn more about the way rosé is made and how its taste and colour may differ depending on various factors. Winemakers create a rosé wine by juicing red grapes and then allowing the juice to soak with the skins for a very short period, usually only two to three days. As soon as the juice begins to take on the beautiful pink colour the winemaker desires, the skins are removed and the juice is allowed to ferment, creating delicious rosé. Rosé wines can be made from a wide range of grapes and can vary from highly dry to sweet, from still to sparklin...

Currently, the state accounts for nearly 90 percent of  American wine  pr...
