Decorating Your Room With Wine Design Styles

Wine can be a great decorating inspiration that a lot of people find attractive. It is most often used as a theme when people are planning the d?cor of a kitchen or dining room. Individuals who chose this idea are in for a treat: most will find that collecting items to enhance their room is a very enjoyable pursuit. Things that they can look for can include anything from artwork featuring wine bottles to grapes and vines positioned for effect around the room.

You will come across many things with which to decorate your wine room. There really is a vast range of wine pictures to consider. The variety of items available is incredible and you will find a lot of inspiration to fine tune your design.

There is indeed a great diversity of original wine artwork to make your choice from. From artistic black and white pictures through to attractive scenes in full color you can find a picture that brings your scheme together.

You should consider basing the entire scheme of your room around one eye-catching and carefully selected piece of art. Your wine room can be designed around a wine picture that you are really keen on and want to show off in your home. It can be a really fun process to use your chosen piece of artwork as the center of your scheme. For instance you can draw inspiration from its colors to select the tones to use in the rest of your room and for the flooring, furniture and furnishings.

The function of the room you pick to decorate with a wine theme does not really have much of an incidence on how you apply this method. There is a great variety of suitable wine-inspired pictures to choose from for all kinds of room and they will help you achieve the look you are after. This process is a very good way to maximize the impact of your design ideas and helps tie in the entire scheme. There are many decorative items, wallpapers and borders that you can use all around your home for this.

You may however struggle to find the perfect piece of art to set off your entire room. If this is the case you should consider creating your very own. Simply paint your own original art on canvas, select an attractive frame and give it pride of place in your wine room.

Japanese & Riesling Event with Round Up!

Sat, 28 Jun 2008 19:36:00 PDT
One way to beat the heat this summer is to enjoy some lighter cuisine - something that isn't going to be too rich or heavy. One such cuisine is Japanese and this month we've paired it with a wine event focused on Rieslings. I provided a sampling of 5 Riesling wines and a handful of dishes, while my attendees bring over a Japanese inspired dish to share.Riesling is a white grape variety which originates in the Rhine region of Germany.

The 45th Parallel

The title of this post sounds like some sort of Hollywood film, does it not? If you are a refugee from wine school or just like to read a lot about wine, you might recognize this as a circular strip of land around our planet where wine grapes lend themselves to great wine. Bill Daily in the Chicago Tribube discusses this, suggesting that while the 45th parallel includes Bordeaux, it also includes less expensive areas for you to find reasonable wine.within a defined geographical band stretchin

The Wines of Lake Garda

Sun, 29 Jun 2008 23:00:32 PDT
Posted by Colin Smith on The Spirit World. Think of wines from Italy and what springs to mind? Chianti or Amarone maybe?, Lambrusco or Asti or maybe a Nero d’Avola from Sicily?. Having spent a week on holiday on Lake Garda in the north of the country names such as Chiaretto, Bardolino and Lugana are uppermost in my mind. This area illustrates the complexity of Italian wine with 400 grape varieties (or is it 1000?) and a myriad of IGT, DOC and DOCG classifications. There were Bardolinos, Lugan

Cannonau: Proving "Rustic Wine" Isn't a Bad Thing

Mon, 30 Jun 2008 05:30:00 PDT
I'm wrapping up my month of Sardinian wines today with a wine that exemplifies the wine description "rustic." What is a rustic wine? It's a topic of debate, and some people use it as a put-down to describe wines they find simple, unsophisticated, and lacking in the fruitiness that might make a wine "quaffable" (that's a subject for another day). Like my esteemed colleague Tyler Colman of Dr. Vino, however, I think it's a good thing. In a post made way back in February 2007, he entered into a sp

We had a beautiful weekend. Berry picking. Amazing BBQ. And wine. Perfect really. The weather was predicted to be oppressive and unruly. Turns out it was just a twitch over hot with a dab of humidity and the occasional breeze helped that out. There were a few moments of sprinkles, but overall, a very nice day. J-lo, Caroline (aka The Sommeliatrix) and I truly enjoyed the day. Here are some photos from our time at Elk Run Vineyards and Loew Vineyards. The Sommeliatrix sent some great words about

Carneros Wineries And Wines

Although Carneros Wineries are located in both southern Napa and Sonoma Counties, the region has always had its own unique identity. Being a huge Pinot Noir fan, I really enjoy exploring new, interesting wines from this region.

Carneros is an example of an AVA that has a more uniform terroir than most. Whereas the borders of some AVAs have been extended beyond their natural climactic boundaries because of politics and influence, Carneros resisted this all too common tendency.

History

During the Spanish era of California, the region was a natural place for settlement in the North Bay due to its proximity to San Francisco, and accessibility by water routes. When General Vallejo secularized the Spanish Missions in 1834, he divided the region amongst several of his cronies. The area was initially developed to produce subsistence crops and livestock.

The first vineyards were planted in the 1830s, and Carneros Wineries flourished for many decades until phylloxera devastated the region's grapes along with most vineyards throughout California.

Prohibition appeared to be the last nail in the coffin for Carneros Wineries. After this unfortunate law's repeal, Andre Tchelistcheff and Louis M. Martini took an interest in the region's unique climate. Investment in Carneros Wineries was slow until the 1970s when it began to surge with the rest of the Napa Valley.

Terroir

Regular fog derived from the San Pablo Bay and Napa River has a cooling effect on the region. Wind is a constant factor, and it blows relatively unobstructed throughout most of the AVA.

Additionally, rainfall is relatively scarce, causing most Carneros Wineries and growers to irrigate their crops. The lack of abundant fresh water as well as the encroachment of sea water into some parts of the ground inhibit rampant vineyard expansion.

As one moves north from the San Pablo Bay, rolling hills begin to replace the extremely flat terrain in the south. There are a few hills that rise to 1000 feet, but they do little to shield the wind and fog. Because of Carneros' consistant climate, certain varietals grow in a very methodical manner.

A multitude of fossilized sea life exists in the soil, and is reminiscent of when the San Pablo Bay covered much of the region. The soil has relatively low fertility, giving grape vines only enough nourishment to focus on scarce, concentrated fruit. The soils of Carneros are generally made of relatively compact clay and are quite shallow.

Varietals, Wines, and Wineries

Pinot Noir and Chardonnay are quite compatible with the terroir of Carneros, and the AVA produces some great examples of these two varietals. About 80% of the grapes produced here are either Pinot Noir or Chardonnay. Carneros Wineries also produce some excellent sparkling wines. Some parts of the region have also had a degree of success producing Merlot and Syrah in the northern, slightly warmer parts of the AVA.
