Online Wine: Hedges CMS Red, 2007, 750 ml available on Amazon.com |
Amazon.com now sells an excellent variety of fine wines online. Amazon's Online wine shop features over 800 fine wines, possibly the largest wine shop in the world. This is truly wonderful for people who live in regions of the world where these wines are not available. Amazon's online ordering and delivery system makes all of this possible. People around the world interested in wines of the world now have access for viewing the details of these wines, ordering them online, and receiving them at their homes. Excellent!
My experience with wines is fairly broad. I've worked serving wine at the Silverado Country Club in Napa, Los Altos Golf and Country Club and sold wine as a clerk at the Pebble Beach Deli at the resort. In Applegate, Oregon I spent part of one summer leaf picking and rotating irrigation systems in a fairly large vineyard nestled in the quite Applegate Valley. Also, I have worked in a high production wine bottling and labeling company, Two Buck Chucks packaging wines for sale around the world. That in addition to being a packaging shipper for UPS where wines were carefully packed and shipped to locations worldwide. I have toured most of the vineyards in Sonoma, St. Helena and Napa, California sampling their exquisite wines. While in Asia I sampled a variety of European and South American wines. I am not too particular about which wine of a specific type or vintage goes best with a particular food.
My sense of taste for wine is about average you might say. I can differentiate by smell and taste while blindfolded the exquisite differences between a Burgundy, a White, and a Rose. However, when it comes to distinguishing the differences between a variety of Whites, Burgundy's or Rose's I am a bit lost.
I know, at least for me personally, the white wines go particularly well with fish, Burgundies with a good New York steak, and a Rose with any one of the fantastic sandwiches and salads we prepared at the Deli at the Pebble Beach Golf and Country Club.
