Beer Chillers

2011-01-26T10:44:00.001-08:00

There are few things in life that come as a bigger disappointment than a warm beer. We have all experienced this, at a party perhaps or a summer barbeque, and it happens time and time again!

You turn up at a friend's house with your pack of beers, only to find that the fridge is full, and so is the freezer. The only beers that are cold are the ones you are not keen on, and instead you have to wait until you can find some space to chill your drinks before enjoying a swift, cool drink.

This is where beer chillers can come in handy - and can ensure that when you host a party, you always have a drink chilled to the perfect temperature to hand.

Beer chillers come in all shapes and sizes, some which are suitable for use at home, some that are larger for use at parties and some that are even bigger for use in pubs and restaurants. Whatever your beer chilling needs are, there is a chiller out there for you.

Prices vary according to size and design, but are very reasonable. Some chillers can even be used in the bedroom, as they are quiet enough not to disturb you if you are sleeping. You can also get beer chillers that are branded with your favourite drink label, such as Budweiser or Magners.

There are many designs, such as a simple, electronic cooler shaped like a wine cooler, where you can pop in up to five cans to chill away. These types of coolers are also perfect for bottles of wine. You can also get a small fridge, branded with your favourite design, to fill with your favourite tipple.

Another example of a beer chiller is one that uses a keg of beer, and enables you to pull a perfectly chilled draught pint. The kegs are readily available in supermarkets, and these quirky little gadgets can turn your kitchen into a mini bar in no time. These also make great presents for the special man in your life...as there are not many guys who wouldn't love to pull a pint of draught beer in their own kitchen.

There is something to match every need in the beer chiller range, so why not invest in one and make sure you never have a warm beer again.

Proper Toasting Etiquette

2010-12-11T08:41:00.001-08:00

Here are a few pointers on the correct way to toast:

The host of the party or event should always be the first one to start the toast. This person should also be the one to make sure that everyone's glass is full before the toast is performed. For a wedding toast, it is still very traditional for the best man to perform the toast. Many people tend to think that the disc jockey or band is responsible for the toast, but this has never been true.

When you give a toast, you should be standing. Make short, simple and sincere comments.

If there is a large group of people, it is not mandatory to clink your glasses when the toast is made. Instead, just raise your glass and take a sip. If it is a small group of people, you should always look the person in the eyes when you clink their glass. As you clink your glasses you can say something like "Cheers, Prost (German), Skoal", or whatever your nationality is.

After the toast, the recipient, if there is one, SHOULD NOT DRINK (this would be like patting yourself on your own back if you do). Instead, he or she should stand and respond with thanks or by offering another toast. During the toast, if the recipient is already sitting, there is no need to stand unless the recipient would like to return the toast.

Although traditional, alcohol is not necessary to perform the toast. Sparkling fruit juice, punch or even pop may be used. It is your choice.

It is not considered customary to applaud toasts.

Who Performs the Toast?

The host of the party or event should always be the first to offer a toast.

For weddings, the best man should initiate the first toast.

Keep Your Wines Chilled with Wine Bottle Coolers

2010-10-03T09:33:00.001-07:00

Nothing tastes better than a chilled glass of wine. Wine is a beverage that suits almost all occasions- whether it be a celebration, or a romantic dinner- each time, a bottle of wine holds a different meaning. This is why it is important to serve this divine drink at the right temperature, to savour it's unique taste. A Wine Bottle Cooler can help you do just that!

A Wine Bottle Cooler, essentially, is a small table top unit that rapidly chills a single bottle. These coolers are useful for obtaining the correct serving temperature particularly in warmer climates. This style of wine cooler is more appropriate for white, rosé or sparkling wines which are usually served chilled.

Usually, a Wine Bottle Chiller comes with a digital temperature control and a thermostat, which regulates the temperature. Many wine lovers who have wine cellars also get custom made wine coolers to complement the décor and look of their cellar. These are made as per the preferences of the customer. However, it must be noted that custom made coolers are generally highly priced.

Wine aficionados know the importance of serving wine at the right temperature, which is 7°C for non vintage sparkling wines, and 18°C for vintage port wines, from ultra chilled dry wines to letting a more fruity wine run at just a bit below room temperature. The best Wine Coolers give a wine bottle its own specialized temperature setting. As you can see, different types really do need to be served at different temperatures. In order to help these wines reach their appropriate temperatures before pouring them for yourself or your guests, it is helpful to have good Wine Bottle Coolers available for you to use.

These coolers range from small, tabletop units, to hand held totes that are used for carrying chilled wine. Regardless of the model or type you purchase, you should know that they are made of neoprene, vinyl or double-walled glass, plastic, metal or any other type of insulated material.

Whenever you are purchasing a Wine Chiller, make sure that you check out the features such as volume, capacity and energy efficiency. Some coolers even come with digital or electronic controls so that temperatures can be set precisely. Ice buckets can leave a drippy mess, but you can raise or lower the temperature at which your Wine Bottle is kept to the exact degree with the Digital Wine Bottle Cooler. These Table Top Wine Coolers cost much less than the large refrigerated units that bars and restaurants use. And these units can generally do the job for a host who simply wants to make sure that the bottle of wine that is being served at dinner is chilled just right.

Welcoming the LG Refrigerator Into Your Home After a Baby

2010-09-10T09:32:00.001-07:00

If you have recently had a child then you will begin to see how much extra room and space you will need in your refrigerator. It seems like an odd observation, but it is often remarked that since a couple have had a child or two their refrigerator seems to get smaller and more inadequate for their needs. If this sounds like your family situation and you have only recently started your search for a suitable refrigerator then you cannot go past the leader in the industry by looking at an LG refrigerator.

What most likely once housed bottles of wine and beer, as well as take out containers along with the bare essentials of edibles, your fridge is most likely filling fast with items that your fridge has never set sight on before. Baby bottles and food as well as some medications and teething rings all seem to find their way into the ever decreasing in size refrigerator. When you look at the LG range of fridges you can appreciate that they have designed a wide range of models that can accommodate the growing family and their unique set of needs. With lots of drawers and shelves that are interchangeable, as well as crisper's and chillers, there will a spot for anything and everything in your fridge.

The great thing about the interchangeable shelves and attachments in your LG refrigerator is that it makes for easy cleaning. There is nothing worse than spilling something at the back of the fridge and having to immerse your entire body in there to clean it. With the LG fridges, you can easily remove the shelf in question and with warm soapy water give it a wipe and clean. Purchasing a quality brand means that you will have your LG fridge for many years to come in your family life.

Planning a Super Wine and Cheese Party

2010-09-06T09:26:00.001-07:00

One of the most enjoyable ways to enjoy your home bar and wine furniture is to have a wine and cheese party. To make the party a big hit, however, requires creativity and planning. In planning your party, your first step is to select a theme. For example, do you want wines and cheeses from all over the world represented? Or, do you want wines and cheeses representing just one region, California for example. For the sake of putting our focus on a particular theme, let's use wines and cheeses from all over the world.

When you send out your invitations to the party, make sure they detail the party's theme. For time's sake it's best to assign a region to each guest, or multiple guests, depending on the number of people you anticipate will attend. Each guest will be instructed to bring a bottle of wine and a cheese from that region.

Alternate between red wines, white wines, and even sparkling wines with each invited guest. Give your guests a suggested price range as well. For some extra fun and ambiance, have your guests bring a theme decoration or two representing their assigned regions,( the country's flag, for example). Make sure that your guests are instructed to r.s.v.p. This is important for determining the supplies you'll need to provide.

When your guests arrive, give them a glass for red wine and a glass for white wine. Also have some Champagne flutes available for the sparkling wines. Make certain that you have at least one ice bucket and/or wine chiller available to keep the cold wines chilled. As far as needed bar accessories, you'll want a cheese slicer and several special cheese knives. The cheese slicer features a thin band, and is essential for many soft cheeses. If your guests have not cut up their hard cheeses, have them do so in small squares.

Make sure you provide plenty of toothpicks. It's also a good idea to have bottled water handy to refresh the palate between wines and cheeses. Your guests should be situated in "stations" around your home bar area. A word here about wine openers. An event like a wine and cheese party will definitely help you understand the value of a "heavy-duty" wine opener! When you're opening this many bottles of wine, a commercial quality opener will make the task almost effortless. A savings of energy that you'll appreciate at the end of the day! Definitely invest in a quality opener if you haven't already.

Use a mobile wine cart to move around the room and attend to your guests. A wine cart is an excellent resource at a wine and cheese party! Also, for those of you that would like to get fancy, provide your guests with wine adornments. These adornments attach to the stem of the wine glass and allow wine drinkers to identify their own glasses. Wine adornments are available in a variety of wine oriented themes.

By following these simple suggestions and guidelines, your wine and cheese party will be a smashing success! It might even inspire you to form your own wine "club." Good luck!

Updating Your Kitchen to Reflect Your Personal Style

2010-09-04T09:20:00.001-07:00

The heart of your home is the kitchen. It's the room where people spend the most time. It's the room where you spend time preparing food and eating, and it's also the social centerpiece of the home. Your kitchen should be a room you enjoy - it should be bright, well-planned, and well-equipped.

Old ideas about kitchen design focused only on the idea of a work triangle - the space between the refrigerator, stove, and sink. While modern kitchen design still includes a focus on the functionality of the kitchen, there's an equal focus on balancing function with attractiveness.

Modern kitchen design starts with establishing the kitchen as the center of a home by making smooth transitions to other areas of the home. While the kitchen is definitely the room where a lot of work is accomplished (preparing food and cooking), it doesn't need to be isolated from the rest of the house. In fact, good design allows the kitchen to have easy access to the rest of the home.

Another feature of modern kitchen design is to allow the kitchen to have ample room for work-flow and to have room for more than one person. Modern kitchens are centers where the entire family is involved in cooking, so there needs to be enough room for everyone.

Kitchen cabinet design is an important part of the overall kitchen design. Modern kitchen cabinet design offers home owners a selection of materials for their cabinets, but also a lot of choices for specially designed cabinets to accommodate your needs, special appliances (like wine chillers and plate warmers), and unique storage needs.

Good kitchen cabinet design incorporates cabinets into your home as another piece of furniture. That means that your cabinets aren't just hiding away cans that you don't want visible. They are also accent pieces of your home, with beautiful wood surfaces that complement spaces like your dining or living room.

When you start planning kitchen cabinet design, you have a choice of getting custom built cabinets, or pre-built cabinets. Even pre-built cabinets come in an amazing array of choices. You can find cabinets to accommodate almost any storage problem.

Modern kitchen design also includes planning for appliances. There are a lot more appliance options today. Many kitchens include grills with special air vents, multiple dishwashers, restaurant sized refrigerators; the options are endless.

The best kitchen design is one that fits your needs, yet makes you feel comfortable and at home. Your kitchen may be the most important room in your house. Don't hesitate to spend the time and effort to make it a showpiece of modern kitchen design.

UK Air Conditioners Rentals

2010-08-25T09:02:00.001-07:00

In the UK, people rent air conditioners for short-term solutions in offices, homes or computer rooms. Most air conditioner rental companies have nation wide regional offices and offer online booking. Most companies offer air conditioners on a daily or weekly basis. They provide different brands of air conditioners like GE, Soleus, Friedrich, Danby and Amana. Both portable and central types of air conditioners are available with them. These air conditioners come in a range of cooling capacities. The rental fees are based on capacity.

The UK Air Conditioning Online Directory has a list of all the top air conditioning companies in England, Wales and Scotland. Some of the rental companies like Aircon Hire Ltd. specialize in portable air conditioning hire for offices, server and computer rooms and the more difficult installations. Specialist companies such as Coolmation Ltd. are also present, which supply and install a multitude of industrial cooling applications. These companies provide water chillers and air conditioning equipment for hire and have a round the clock chiller service. Andrews Air Conditioners and Refrigeration specializes in hiring systems to plants and factories. SCEC Ltd. is a specialist in the supply, installation, and service of both fixed and portable air conditioners. They provide on rent, mobile air conditioning, heavy-duty fans, dehumidifiers, humidifiers, air cleaners, extractors, evaporative coolers and industrial heaters.

They also provide evaporative coolers, air movement fans, portable heaters and temporary warm air heating systems. And then there are general providers like Electroair Ltd., who provide air conditioners on rent for home use.

Before you rent an air conditioner, you have to keep in mind the requirements and the building you live in. The rental rates are often reduced if you rent an air conditioner for a longer period. Transport and installation costs are not included in the rental rates of many companies. Thus it is always better to rent an air conditioner from a company that is located closer to the place of use.

How to Make Simple Wine Tasting Notes

2010-08-21T08:55:00.001-07:00

Some people are good at remembering tastes. But tastes are at times complex and our memories are fleeting. So it makes a lot of sense that making notes on your wine tasting experiences is an extremely useful exercise.

One main reason you would want to take notes is so that your tasting impressions will end up on a list of wines with different properties and a list from which you can choose wines in the future given your personal tastes and differing circumstances. These can include hosting a family dinner, throwing a wine tasting party or just going out on a dinner date.

Below is a brief and simple guide to compiling your wine taking notes.

- Identify the wine and if possible the source by name in your notes. While the name part is obvious, it also helps to know who makes the wine.

- Divide your note taking sheet under each of the following categories:

- C. For color and shading.

- N. For Aroma - what you pick up with your nose from sniffing the aroma.

- T. For taste.

- Make your notes under each heading using your own language. Remember that you are making these notes for your own benefit - not to submit to some evaluation panel. So use language that best reflect your impressions in a way that you would have them explained to you. This is extremely important as wine tasting can be such an involved experience and the taste of wines can be so complex that when it comes time to recall your experiences from your notes you want this recall to reflect exactly what you experienced at the time.

Using words such as fruity, yum-yum, old, hard, light, soft, sweet, pale, heavy, sharp, flat are all appropriate as long as these words can accurately reflect what you experienced.

- For a few days after having made your notes, go over them and try to relive the qualities or experiences they reflect. This is very useful in bonding these experiences to your sub-conscious so that over time, the memories will be extremely sharp in your mind.

Of course it goes without saying that you should organize your notes in the most appropriate way for you. Some people use dates, some use locations, or events. Whatever manner you choose, what is important is that you accurately record your wine tasting experiences in your wine tasting notes.

Use your notes to guide you in future wine selections, make the most appropriate food / wine pairings, or to just share with wine loving friends.

Haier Wine Cooler - The Perfect Wine Cooler

2010-08-11T08:19:00.001-07:00

There are many people out there having a collection of wines in their home and if you want to have bottle of wine always ready for use then its better to have buy your own wine cooler. Now wine coolers are getting more reasonably priced because of people considering it as basic appliances for their home, kitchens or wine rooms. So they can get chilled wine ready to drink anytime to satisfy their taste buds. So now it's your turn to be a proud owner of your own Haier Wine Cooler. Before making any choice of buying a wine cooler you need a bit of advice so that you can make a right kind of choice.

Here are some tips for buying the perfect Haier wine cooler. To start with the most important factor to decide is your requirement, so if you determine the number of bottles which you intend to store its better double it in numbers so that it can meet your future requirements.

It is always advised to be sure the capacity you require so that you can save your money in terms that having a 40 bottle capacity cooler is not advised if you store about 10 bottles at once. It will save your initial cost as well as electricity bill. So if you're wine enthusiast to collect wine then its better to have larger capacity cooler to be on the safer side. Wine cooler comes in different sizes and capacity which can start form capacity of 5 bottles to have capacity of 50 bottles or even up to hundreds.

The second factor which counts a lot that whether you required the cooler having features such as temperature zone controls which will help in keeping the wine in different temperature zones according to your requirement so that you can have the perfect chill wine according to your liking.

The third factor to consider while buying the cooler is to have the cooler with option of humidity control so that your expensive wines can be safe from ruining as due to lack of humidity control your wines can be mildew or mold which will ruin the true taste of wine.

The fourth point to focus is to buy the wine cooler which has the adjustable or detachable racks so that you can store all sort of wines which comes in different shapes and sizes by only removing the rack to fit the bottles. On other hand its also a practical approach because it also helps to clean the wine cooler easily when needed.

The fifth factor which has to be taken in consideration while buying the wine cooler is its style and design because if you want to use it to serve your guests then it should be stylish otherwise if its only kept in kitchen then an ordinary one is better to save money but you should consider the color as it matches the surroundings in which you want to keep it. So it's also better to browse a bit before buying one.

Breeding Eurasian Sand Boas (Eryx jaculus, Eryx miliaris and Eryx tataricus)

2010-08-09T07:43:00.001-07:00

Appeared in 'Reptilia' Issue 34

Some people may wonder: of the thousands of snake species that exist in the world, why choose sand boas? Well, I sometimes wonder myself, but I do have a few good reasons. There are several species, subspecies, and varieties of sand boas, each with its own characteristics and "personality." They are small, easy to care for, and relatively simple to breed. In fact, it is really too easy to build up a large collection.

Of the numerous species and subspecies that I keep, the European and central Asian sand boas are my special focus. These species occur across huge ranges, making considerable variety even within subspecies inevitable. Every individual sand boa is unique, and can be easily distinguished from others. The variety of patterns fascinates me, and whenever I see a remarkably different-looking sand boa, I attempt to purchase it.

Species

Eryx jaculus

This species is one of my personal favourites. There are three subspecies that occur in southern Europe and into northern Africa. Unfortunately it has not become a popular pet snake, primarily because of trade restrictions -- this species is listed in CITES Appendix II and Annex A of European legislation. Within the European Union, every Eryx jaculus specimen must have identification papers. This is too much hassle for many breeders, who therefore choose not to keep this species.

Eryx jaculus jaculus, the javelin sand boa, is the most commonly available subspecies. Many captives are of Egyptian and Jordanian bloodlines. This subspecies grows slightly larger and is more heavily built than the other two subspecies. It is also slightly more aggressive, but captive-bred specimens can be tamed and become easy to handle.

Eryx jaculus turcicus, the Turkish sand boa, is predominantly found in Turkey and into Syria. It is smaller than Eryx jaculus jaculus and rarely available in the pet trade. There are a few breeders working with this subspecies, so I hope it will become more common.

Eryx jaculus familiaris, the Bulgarian sand boa, is more slender than the other Eryx jaculus subspecies. It is also the most docile, and has an intricate pattern, making it perhaps the most pet-worthy of the three. Nonetheless, it is very rare in captivity and becoming increasingly scarce in the wild. I am currently working with a group of six specimens, which I hope to reproduce in 2005.

Eryx miliaris

This species is divided into two subspecies: the more commonly seen Eryx miliaris miliaris, the brown Russian sand boa; and Eryx miliaris nogaiorum, the black Russian sand boa. With selective breeding, I hope to produce several variations of these subspecies. My primary project is to produce a captive-bred line of the "super black" Russian sand boa, a naturally occurring form of Eryx miliaris nogaiorum that is almost completely jet black, with only a few white and grey speckles running down the sides.

Every few years, Russian sand boas of both subspecies are brought into Europe in relatively small numbers. Wild-caught adults do not make the best of pets, and many are rather bland in colour, making them unattractive. This is not likely to become a generally popular pet species, but it will always have its place in the hearts of many enthusiasts. I hope that captive-bred babies will be more desirable, encouraging hobbyists to keep this species.

Eryx tataricus

This species is divided into three subspecies: Eryx tataricus tataricus, which I call the Tartar sand boa; Eryx tataricus speciosus, which I call the spotted sand boa; and Eryx tataricus vittatus, which I do not currently have in my collection.

This is the second largest species of sand boa, with females often reaching lengths of 36 inches (91 cm). I have found this species remarkably easy to maintain. The snakes are generally quite docile and easy to feed. All of mine readily take thawed rodents.

This species is rarely seen in captivity, but because of its attractiveness and good disposition, I am confident that it will become more popular and readily available in the future. Eryx tataricus speciosus is especially attractive, and sought after by many enthusiasts. I have a long waiting list of people who want this subspecies, even at the relatively high prices dictated by short supply and high demand.

Acclimation

It is now illegal to capture wild Eryx jaculus (my group consists of captive-bred individuals from various European breeders), so this section on acclimation to captive conditions refers mainly to Eryx miliaris and Eryx tataricus. There are a number of procedures I follow when dealing with wild-caught snakes. Following is a step-by-step guide to acclimation.

1. The first and foremost thing to deal with is external parasites. Actually, sand boas rarely carry any form of mites or ticks, but a bath and parasite removal should be done as a precaution. There are several products on the market for removing parasites. I prefer one that is often also used for fleas on cats and dogs.

2. My next step is to try to get some food into the snake. The first couple of meals should be approximately two-thirds the girth of the snake -- if your snake is 3 centimetres in diameter, a rodent with a diameter of 2 centimetres is appropriate. It is important that the first meals stay down with no regurgitation. Once your snake is feeding regularly, you can increase the size of prey to slightly larger than the girth of the boa.

3. When the snake's feeding response is established, treatment for internal parasites should be carried out. I use fenbendazole at 50-100 milligrams per kilo of snake body mass.

4. After treating for parasites, it is important to make sure the snake's feeding pattern is reestablished. In most cases, the snake will continue to feed without a problem, but sometimes a specimen will need some help. I use a water-soluble probiotic containing enzymes, vitamins, and minerals, which helps to stimulate a feeding response. This is added to the snake's water every day for about 10 days.

5. Finally, establish a weekly feeding routine. Make sure the snake stays healthy, and develops optimal condition in preparation for breeding.

Brummation

Brummation is torpor or inactivity associated with prolonged periods of low temperature, during which metabolism is reduced, but without true hibernation. This is a most crucial factor in getting these species to breed, and it is important to cool the snakes in a well-thought-out and proper manner.

Before temperatures are reduced, the snakes must be prepared for withstanding several months of low temperatures with no food. Starting in September, females should be fed every 5-7 days with two rodents of approximately the same girth as the snake. Males do not need as much energy reserve, and can be fed a single prey item every 7-10 days. At the end of October, feeding should be stopped altogether. During the following 2 weeks, the snake should be digesting its last meal and excreting most of the waste, before temperatures drop below the normal 86-88ºF (30-31ºC).

From mid November to the beginning of December, temperatures should be gradually reduced to 46-50ºF (8-10ºC). It is not critical that the temperature decrease by the same amount every day. Begin by simply turning the heat source down and then off. After that, moving the snake onto the floor or into a cooler room may reduce the temperature another few degrees. By the end of November, a permanent place must be prepared where the temperature will stay constant at 46-50ºF (8-10ºC). Eryx jaculus will breed after being cooled down to only 52-56ºF (11-13ºC), but Eryx miliaris and Eryx tataricus need the lower temperatures.

I live in southeastern England, where winter temperatures are normally consistently lower than needed for brummation. For me it is easiest to put the snakes in a place with outside temperatures, and use a low heat source to maintain the right temperature. I use a large, display freezer with heat mats controlled by a pulse-proportional thermostat. The sensor is placed in the middle. Since heat rises, the top half of the unit stays warmer than the bottom half, which is useful for wintering several species with different temperature requirements. I place my Eryx jaculus in the top half, and Eryx miliaris and Eryx tataricus in the bottom half. If you live in a warmer climate, a controlled refrigeration system may be necessary. Wine chillers are relatively inexpensive, and work well, but it is important to get one with a built-in thermostat so temperature can be accurately controlled.

At the low temperatures the snakes will be inactive, and should be kept in this state for 3 months. During the first 2 weeks of March, temperatures can be gradually increased back to normal, bringing the snakes out of brummation. Feeding should resume as soon as this 2-week period is over. I feed my females every 4-5 days for the next month. The first two meals should be small -- only about half the size of the snake's girth -- to reduce the chances of regurgitation or vomiting, and to facilitate the build-up of digestive enzymes, which are depleted during brummation.

Mating

Males and females are kept separate and housed individually except for mating. When placed together, as with many other species of boas, the ratio of males to females may be a determining factor in whether breeding is successful. I have three males, and put all of them in with one or sometimes two females. If I had more males, I would put as many as four per female (never more than two females) together in an enclosure.

Males are placed in the females' enclosures starting at the end of March, a minimum of 2-3 days after the snakes have fed. If a snake is refusing food, it is a good idea to try to mate it anyway, as this often triggers a strong feeding response. In fact, males often refuse food after brummation, and do not start feeding again until after mating.

The males should be left with the females for 2-3 days, and then removed so the females can be fed and allowed to digest for 2-3 days. Females need to be fed at least once a week (more often is better) to build up energy reserves before they begin fasting during gestation. The males, on the other hand, can be moved directly from one enclosure of females to another, again for 2-3 days. After a second mating session, however, males should be returned to their own individual enclosures, fed, and allowed to digest for 2-3 days before being put with females again.

I usually observe copulation between 8 p.m. and 2-3 a.m. During this time it is important that the snakes be disturbed as little as possible. They are easily startled, and may move away from each other. Even if copulation is not seen, you will often see the male attempting to "woo" the female -- following her around the cage with his tongue flicking faster than usual, sensing the pheromones that she secretes. If such behaviour is observed, it is likely that this particular pair will eventually copulate.

These snakes copulate most readily just after shedding. A female that is about to shed may not respond to a male that has just shed and is especially rampant. Mating seems to be most successful when males and females shed at the same time. Males usually stop copulating after only about 3 weeks, so it is important -- and a little complicated if you have many snakes -- to coordinate mating and feeding sessions to take full advantage of the short breeding season.

Ovulation and gestation

Ovulation is the release of unfertilized ova from the ovaries into the oviducts. There they will be fertilized by sperm stored from previous copulation. Before ovulation, a female shows a large swelling at the middle of the body, appearing as though she had swallowed a meal twice the normal size. This swelling is usually present for about 18-48 hours, and disappears as the ova move along and space out inside the uterus (lower part of the oviduct). Female Eurasian sand boas usually ovulate 1-3 weeks after mating. If ovulation occurs, it is quite possible that the female is then gravid (containing fertilized eggs); if ovulation does not occur within 3 weeks, one or two males should be placed with her again.

Fertilized eggs develop inside the female for a period of 3-5 months (usually 4 months). During this period, the gravid female must be able to reach an optimum body temperature of more than 95ºF (35ºC). She should be able to bask at temperatures of 98-110ºF (37-43ºC), but must also be able to escape these temperatures when necessary. The enclosure should be large enough to support a thermal gradient, with a cooler end at 78-82ºF (25-28ºC).

Birth

These boas are ovoviviparous. No shells are formed around the eggs, and embryos develop fully while still inside the mother. Babies are born in egg sacs, usually in late June or early July. In the last few days before birth, the swelling of the mother moves toward the tail. Eryx jaculus and Eryx miliaris tend to have 6-12 babies. Eryx tataricus have been recorded to have more than 30 babies, although this is uncommon -- usually they have 8-20 babies.

The babies, in their egg sacs, are deposited directly onto the floor of the enclosure. It is best to use a newspaper substrate at this time. The egg sac should not be cut or removed from the babies. They should be left alone and allowed to break free in their own time. They often sit in the egg sac for several hours, absorbing the remaining yolk. As soon as the babies begin crawling around the enclosure, they should be taken out and housed individually. The care of newborns is identical to that of the adults, although they should be kept on damp substrate until they shed their skins for the first time.

Sexing

Identifying the sexes of these sand boa species is generally easy by simple observation alone. Following are lists of characteristics for distinguishing the sexes in each of the species of Eurasian sand boas.

Is It Legal To Make Wine At Home

2010-08-05T07:29:00.001-07:00

One of the most common concerns people have when it comes to making wine or any kind of booze at home is will the boys in blue come running after me? No they won't, as long as you are making wine just for yourself. See making wine isn't illegal, people have been doing it since the 'Bronze Age' if not earlier. But making wine at home and then selling it without Uncle Sam getting a cut or proper authorization, well then you are in trouble.

Their are certain things in our society that require the government's intervention and selling of alcohol is one of it. I think that is a very good thing to have 'control' on something like 'selling alcohol' because of the nature of the beast. But this doesn't mean you can't make it for your own pleasure, in the comfort of your own home. You see, selling alcohol and making alcohol for personal pleasure are two different things. Both of them are allowed, but selling of any kind requires a certain type of license.

Making wine at home was actually legalized in 1978 by the Federal government in the United States. Yes their are some restrictions but that is only if you start making gallons of wine or booze at home. Wine making at home today is considered just another hobby as regular as collecting baseball cards or making scrapbooks of your choice. With more and more people becoming home wine enthusiasts, the genre of wine making has really taken off.

These days when people think of making wine at home, they are usually not sure where to begin. I suggest going to your local home brew or wine making shop and meet the ever so friendly wine makers. The city that I'm from is Vancouver, in British Columbia and its one of the most popular cities in the world for wine enthusiasts. I guess you can say that wine making and friendly people go hand in hand together.

Did you know that number one place for wine enthusiasts is New Zealand, even I didn't expect that one. Followed by Australia, South Africa, Canada, USA, United Kingdom, Italy and the wine country itself, France. Although making wine at home hasn't caught up yet in Asia, it is definitely an interesting topic and a growing field. This is due to the lack of proper food and drug regulations in some Asian countries and a scarce supply of wine making equipment required.

Bottom line, wine making at home is legal as legal stuff can be. For details, I encourage you to check within your own community or city. As every vicinity have their own laws and regulations. As far as you are making wine for pleasure and do not intend to sell it for profit, you should be just fine. Making wine at home is not only legal but also one of the fastest growing hobbies around the world. I say join the fun and start a very rewarding and fun experience. Don't forget about all the money you will save by not going to the liquor store every week.

Wine Cellar Refrigeration Issues

2010-08-01T07:22:00.001-07:00

All wine lovers would love to have a real wine cellar in their homes to properly store their wines and to display them in style. However, the cost to build one is high, as is the cost to maintain them. Most of the cost and issues are caused by the wine cellar refrigeration. Proper wine cellar refrigeration requires planning ahead and being aware of the potential problems that can, (and most likely will), arise.

1) The cooling unit in the cellar will require a backup unit in case of failure. In case something goes wrong with the refrigeration system, you should take the necessary steps to ensure there will be a backup system to keep the wine cool if the system goes down. While the backup system will not provide ideal temperatures, it will at least keep the wine from going bad as you fix the chiller. Often, the air conditioning unit can do the job but it will take a professional wine cellar builder to determine whether or not that's an option. Also, a generator should be installed to guard against power failure.

2) Dedicated electrical circuit. There is significant cost involved in installing a dedicated electrical circuit to power the cooler. It will require plans, licensing, and a licensed electrician to do the work.

3) Maintenance. Unlike water heaters and air conditioning units, wine cellar refrigerators or coolers require consistent maintenance. Depending on a number of factors, the unit will run for about half the time, every day. This kind of energy output makes the life span of these systems finite.

4) A vapor barrier and insulation will need to be installed. It is very important to keep the humidity level correct in order to keep the ideal temperature in the cellar consistent. So too is keeping the hot air out and the cool air in. Therefore, a vapor barrier and insulation must be put in.

Ceramic Wine Coolers - Low Tech but Functional

2010-07-30T07:19:00.001-07:00

When you have company, keeping your white wine cool at the table is a nice touch. There are several ways to go about this, but one way that has been around for ages is still a very effective and easy way to keep wine cool.

If you've gone to authentic Italian restaurants, you've probably seen them - ceramic cylinders with an opening wide enough for a bottle of wine. The principle is very simple: place the ceramic holder in water for some time so that the porous ceramic soaks up water. When placed on the table, the evaporation of the water from the container keeps the wine bottle cool.

No Mess

The beauty of this system is the no frills simplicity. It doesn't take up much room on the table, and there is no water and ice to deal with. If you keep your wine bottle in a container with ice and water, each time you remove the bottle to pour, the water on the outside of the bottle tends to drip. Sometimes it even drips into the wine glasses as you pour, which is definitely undesirable.

An ice and water system also needs to be wider than a ceramic cooler in order to accommodate room for the ice. The ceramic containers use the principle of evaporation instead of requiring actual ice, which means more space on your table for other more important things.

So before you go out and buy a fancy, expensive cooling mechanism, consider the tried and true, age old method of using ceramics. The investment will be small, and you may just love the results.

How To Chill A Bottle Of Wine

2010-07-28T07:16:00.001-07:00

So you have decided to have a small get together at the last minute and have realized that you don't have a single bottle of chilled wine. What's the best way to chill that bottle?

The single best method to chill a bottle of wine quickly is using an ice bucket or something that could be a substitute for an ice bucket. Using a mixture of half ice and half cold water, fill the ice bucket about two-thirds of the way and put the bottle in the bucket. Make sure you use water; ice alone will take well over an hour to chill the bottle thoroughly. Using this method it should only take 20 to 30 minutes for the bottle to be cooled. Adding a little bit of rock salt to the ice water bath will help cool a bottle quicker if necessary.

If using a refrigerator to chill a bottle of wine, it will usually need to be kept in there for at least a couple of hours to get it chilled throughout. Never use a freezer to chill a bottle of wine. I know this is something we all do, and I have been known on occasion in the past to do it, but it really is a bad idea. Constantly having to watch the bottle to make sure it doesn't break in the freezer is not a fun thing to do, and even if the bottle doesn't break it is still going to take longer than using the bucket of ice water.

Now that you know the best way to chill those bottles of wine, what is the best temperature to serve them at? Most red wines (I say most because you will find the occasional red wine such as Lakeridge Winery Southern Red from Florida which is best served cold) are served at 60 degrees Fahrenheit (15 degrees Celsius). A little colder at 50 degrees F (10 degrees C) high quality white wines such as Sauternes and Burgundies should be served, while the majority of white wines (Chenin and Sauvignon Blancs, Chardonnays, Rieslings) should be served no lower than 45 degrees F (7 degrees C). Lower than that and the wine will lose a lot of its bouquet and flavors.

Five Differences Between Brazing & Welding Processes

2010-07-26T07:10:00.001-07:00

Brazing and welding are two processes that are used for joining two metals with the use of a third molten filler metal. But there is a procedural difference between the two techniques which makes both of them more suitable for different kinds of metal bonding requirements. This is because owing to their own styles both the techniques have their own advantages and disadvantages. More than the individual understanding of the two process, this article deals with the comparative suitability of each of them in different situations and requirements. The five most important differences between brazing and welding processes are as follows:

When neatness and finish tops the priority list in the quality of the brazed joints required, it is advisable to opt for the brazing process. Brazing results score far better on the neatness and finish scale compared to welded joints which might not be as smooth and neat.
The choice between the two processes also depends on the thickness of the metal sections involved in the process. With its intense and focused heating, welding might burn the thinner sections and thus brazing obviously scores again in this respect. But if the section thickness is decent brazing might be required for efficient bonding results.
Big assemblies release heat which obstructs the flow path of the filler metal. In such a situation the brazing heat which is broad and uniform might not serve the purpose. Welding with its intensive and narrowed flow of heat is capable of successfully joining the bigger assemblies of metals.
Though both the processes are about joining different pieces of metals, brazing produces stronger joints between dissimilar metals as compared to welding, but with a few specification regarding the chemical & physical properties of the base metals and the filler metal chosen. In a case where the differences in the melting temperatures are greater, welding might prove to be an expensive deal altogether.
Again in a comparative situation where the you want linear joints, instead of single point bonding brazing is an economical and time saving technique. But for single point bonding requirement, welding is a wiser option any day.

Just Discovered That There is a World Beer Awards

2010-07-20T06:49:00.001-07:00

Now I enjoy a nice cold beer as much as the next man but I never thought that there is such a thing as a World Beer Awards. I always thought that there is beer and there is lager but there were over 50 different types in the awards run in conjunction with Beers Of The World magazine.

It seems to work a bit like a dog show where you have different breeds, then best of breed and then best of the show. It has another similarity in that it must be very subjective as to which is best. After all, what I like you may not like and vice versa.

The first level of judging is in the style of beer section. There were 54 different style awards. A number of them were common ones which I recognise like standard pale ale, strong pale ale, standard lager and premium lager but some which caught my eyes are the flavoured specialities such as coffee beer and chocolate beer. Sometimes we have a cup of coffee after our beer but I never imagined that they would flavor beer like that.

There are then sixteen categories and those are whittled down to the five main awards which are:

World's Best Lager
World's Best Ale
World's Best Stout/Porter
World's Best Wheat Beer
World's Best Specialty Beer

The awards were dominated by the European countries who won all five of these major groups. I am not sure whether this is because European beer is really the best or just because it is where it is held and there are not as many entrants from overseas countries.

Waldhaus Diplom Pils from Germany won the best lager award and also won the best premium and best pilsner categories. The World's Best Ale was won by the English barley wine style, strong dark ale category of Robinson's Old Tom.

The Russian Federation's Baltika No6 Porter came top in the bock style in the strong lager category to win the overall best stout/porter award. The best wheat beer cam from Belgium and is the Brasserie du Bocq Blanche de Namur (now that does sound as much like a pedigree dog as a beer).

The English Dark Star Espresso which, as its name suggests, is flavoured with coffee, was the winner as the best specialty beer.

Well that was all very interesting. When I drift over to my beer chiller to get a cold can out, I shall think about them and wonder whether I will get to taste any of them and what might win next year.

Wine Bottle Openers As a Great Gift Idea

2010-07-16T06:39:00.001-07:00

Sometimes, giving a great gift to someone can be challenging. This is especially true when you want the receiver to appreciate your gift. If you are at a loss about what to give a friend or a family member, then you might want to consider giving something useful. Wine bottle openers can be a great gift idea for both men and women. A bottle opener is something that you can give to someone for a birthday, for a holiday occasion or even just as a special token.

Wine bottle openers come in different types. If you think that they all come in the same make and package, then you are mistaken. There are a lot of choices as styles and types differ much. You can get traditional types of openers or you can give ones that have a touch of modernity.

One type of wine bottle opener is the lever kind. This opener is very easy to use. You simply put the opener over the bottle, pull or push down the lever and you instantly get your bottle of wine easily. There are also wine bottle openers which are automatic. The automatic openers are often uses rechargeable batteries. You do not have to deal with wires or cables so you can use these openers at any part of the house? the wet bar, the kitchen, the living room or even the bedroom. You do not have to charge these automatic bottle openers often as one charge can often open more than two dozen bottles. There are also some openers which allow you to put back the cork back in. If you simply want to consume a little of your wine, then you can out the cork back easily with the same opener.

Wine bottle openers nowadays come in different styles. Some have metallic or stainless steel finish so they would not contradict with your kitchen's or your wet bar's general theme. There are also openers made of plastic and other materials. The exact style and make would, of course, solely depend on your choice or on your budget as some are more costly than the others. Rest assured that you would not find it difficult to comply with your home's theme. The style and finish are not the only considerations when it comes to choosing your wine bottle openers. You can also choose to one that is heavy duty but more durable (best for countertops) or you can choose smaller ones (for portable use).

A wine bottle opener is indeed a great gift idea. You can easily buy one online so you would not need to go al the way to a store just to shop for a great gift that is sure to be appreciated. Some of them can even be packed inside a gift box so you do not need to wrap them up. Wine bottle openers can be great gifts to people who love drinking wine, to those who receive dinner guests or to someone who simply wants to be ready to pop a bottle of great-tasting wine.

10 Tips to Brewing Better Beer

2010-07-12T06:30:00.001-07:00

To the experienced brewer, these should come off as common sense. But, it's also easy to forget some of these when you are juggling hop additions, equipment malfunctions and other brew day distractions, such as chasing kids or dogs away from 7 gallons of boiling hot liquids.

1. Start with fresh ingredients. This may sound pretty lame, but you'd be surprised how long some of that liquid malt extract sits around in your local home brew shop. Online vendors like Adventures in Home brewing, Northern Brewer and Midwest Supplies have a high turnaround on ingredients, with some of them receiving shipments each week. If you are an all-grain brewer and buy your grain pre-crushed, try to use them the week you receive them. If you cannot brew right away, store the crushed grain in a refrigerator, where they will keep for a few weeks.

2. Use a yeast starter and use the correct amount of yeast. First, make sure you refrigerate your yeast when it arrives - whether it is dry or liquid. Dry yeast isn't as sensitive as liquid, but if you don't plan on using it right away, refrigerate it. If you order online during the summer, ask the home brew store to pack your liquid yeast in an ice pack. If you plan on brewing a high-gravity beer such as a Double IPA, or an Imperial Stout, don't just throw the contents of the smack pack or the vial in the wort - that tiny amount of yeast will become stressed and your beer will not complete fermentation. You need lots of yeast for a big beer! Check MrMalty.com for the correct amount of yeast to pitch for the beer that you are brewing and then make a yeast starter. A yeast starter is basically a smaller amount of un-hopped wort that you add your yeast to in order to let your yeast be fruitful and multiply!

3. Assemble all the materials you'll need BEFORE you start brewing. Nothing is worse than scrambling around looking for ingredients or equipment during your brew day. It makes it very easy to forget to add certain ingredients or miss-time them. I write down each step of my brew day and the equipment/ingredients that I'll need for each step. Then, before I start my mash, I lay everything out that I'll need on the bed in the bedroom next to the door to the patio where I brew. This way, nothing will become contaminated by outdoor bugs or even airborne grain particles. It will be there waiting for me to use. Check your equipment, too. Are any of your valves leaking? Is that new mash tun manifold operational? It's never fun sticking your hands into a 160F grain bed in order to reassemble your manifold. Or realizing that the leak around your ball valve that you forgot about is not leaking enough to lose pints from your batch.

4. Check your water. Rule of thumb is: If it doesn't taste good, then it won't make good beer. Also, if you are an all-grain brewer, check your pH. If your mash water is too alkaline, you won't achieve proper starch conversion. A product such as Five Star's 5.2 pH Stabilizer will guarantee that your mash water will be the optimum pH for conversion. It is relatively inexpensive for the degree of confidence it will give you. Just don't go overboard, adding too much will lend a chalky, minerally or salty taste to your finished beer. If you want to use tap water, contact your water company, they will be happy to mail you a complete water profile for your community. You can then adjust for Cloramine and other chemical levels in your water. Campden tablets are also a cheap way to adjust your water.

5. Mash at the correct temperature. This is usually the culprit to new all-grain brewers who complain that their beer is too watery or too sweet for the style. You should be mashing between 140-160F. The closer to 140F you mash, the dryer (less sweet) and thinner (watery) your finished beer will be. Lower mash temps result in more fermentables being produced - giving the yeast more to chew on. Higher mash temps will allow the conversion of longer chain sugars (harder to ferment) resulting in a sweeter beer. The yeast has a harder time converting these long-chain sugars, so more of them will remain in your beer for the long-haul. Depending on which style of beer you want to brew will dictate your mash temperature.

6. Clean all your equipment thoroughly before and after use. Take the extra time to clean up after you brew. It will make your brew day so much easier. Rinse the break and hop materials off of your immersion chiller. Get all the grain out of your mash tun. Wash your brew kettle and your stirring spoon. It's easy to be tired after a 6-8 hour brew session. Take the extra 20-30 mins. to clean up after yourself. Your beer and your wife/girlfriend/significant other will be glad, too.

7. Check your gravity 20 mins. before your boil ends. Adjust hop schedule accordingly. I don't know how many times I've finished brewing and had way too much wort that was low gravity or too little that was too high that I had to dilute. Get a refractometer and check your gravity. If you do it 20 mins. before the boil ends, you can keep your late hop additions where they need to be. Nothing like flaming out and then seeing that your gravity is off and you need to continue boiling to reach your desired gravity. For beers that aren't hoppy this isn't as much of a problem. But who needs to be scrambling around in the last few minutes of boil time anyway?

8. Cool your wort quickly. As I mentioned previously, once your wort drops below 170F, bacteria and wild yeast like to jump in your beer. Well, maybe not that dramatically, but just the same - invest in a wort chiller - either immersion or counterflow and use it to get your wort to yeast pitching temperatures (around 70F) as quickly as possible (under 20-30 mins is ideal). In the summer this is a bit harder using tap water (depending on where you live). Look into a pre-chiller or use a pump to recirculate icy cold water. The quicker you can get your wort chilled and into your fermenter, the less likely you are to introduce bacteria into your beer.

9. Sanitize everything that will come in contact with your wort after it drops below 170F. CLEAN, then SANITIZE. You don't have to sterilize everything or wear a biohazard suit while you brew, but do get all the chunks off by cleaning and then use a no-rinse sanitizer such as One Step, Iodophor or Star San (my favorite). I will sanitize my better bottle fermenter and then turn it upside down (bacteria cannot fall up) or cap it with some tin foil that has also been sanitized. The foam from the Star San will continue to sanitize while it is in contact with the container. Don't fear the foam, it is your friend. Pour your beer right on top of it - it has no effect on the final taste.

10. Ferment at correct temperature. This is usually the last thing a new brewer does to help their beer - control their fermentation temperature. And it has the arguably largest effect on the finished product. I absolutely killed a pale ale by fermenting it at room temperature in the summer. It ended up tasting like a banana daquiri. Yuck! I had been so careful to do everything right, but it still tasted horrible. Buy a used refrigerator or chest freezer and purchase a temperature controller and use it to dial in your temperature to the degree. You will also then be able to brew lagers correctly. It is one of the best steps a homebrewer can make to improve the taste of their beer.

And now, the bonus tip that you've been waiting for... 11. Don't drink home brew while your brew home brew. or any other beer for that matter. Seriously. I know that brewing is fun. But if you wait until you're done to drink, you will thank me for it. In my house, brew days are party days, so this was the hardest step for me to take. Even harder than making a stir plate from old computer parts for my yeast starters, making my homemade mash tun manifold or my immersion chiller. Resist the temptation. You'll find that you remember all your additions, hit all your temperatures and your times and won't be nearly as frantic in case you have an equipment failure. Or if you run out of propane half way through your boil! Be alert and enjoy the fruits of your labor when you get done. Once you are done and you're waiting for that airlock to start bubbling, kick back and pop open that beer - it will taste so great!

Death Of A Refrigerator

2010-07-06T06:12:00.001-07:00

Our old refrigerator suffered multiple forms of discrimination and was found guilty of not "fitting in." Ultimately, a sentence of hard labor in our garage became its fate. In a few short months, it died.

How did this happen? It all started one day when my wife said, "Honey, I want to show you something in the kitchen." Apprehensively I arrived in the kitchen, and she started her discourse aimed at demeaning our existing refrigerator. First came, "It's the wrong color and doesn't match anything in our kitchen." Then, "It's not big enough to hold everything I need it too, especially with all the entertaining we do." Lastly and with no less derision, she said, "It's way too old to do the job any longer."

In a matter of a few minutes, she had discriminated against "Old Harvest Gold" with respect to color, size and age. However, I knew better than to argue. I relented and a new refrigerator became a family household primary and the old one became an outcast in our garage located in the Sonoran Desert. The first few months the garage temperature hovered around 105 degrees. The next few months the temperature cooled to a balmy 95 degrees. The refrigerator's death was predictable and ultimately final in month number five.

In the garage, we had used "Old Harvest Gold" for storing canned and bottled beverages, extra milk bottles, and other items the new larger refrigerator could not hold. We even used the vegetable drawer to keep our batteries fresh. After the death and subsequent recycle of the old refrigerator, our new refrigerator had to accommodate "Old Harvest Gold's" contents. Putting that collection in the new frig was a solution my wife did not think was useful.

I went searching in the market place and found some consumer products that offered an easy, space-saving solution to our dilemma. These products were beverage coolers and chillers. Some of these products could accommodate over 100 canned beverages, five 2-liter beverage bottles and even store our favorite wine. I could purchase stand-alone or under-the-counter models in several different sizes. I was lucky to fine one that fit nicely under the counter where my old trash compactor currently existed. I purchased it and easily installed it myself. Dilemma solved-or at least I thought it was.

About a month later, I again heard the plaintive cry from the kitchen, "Honey can you come here please?" This time, her complaint focused on the kitchen's appearance. She said, "The modern refrigerator is great, but the cabinets and counter tops now look out of date." She went on to say, "I love the beverage center and since we're going to remodel the kitchen, can we find a larger built-in model that will hold more cans and wine?"

I sold the smaller beverage center and went back to the store, where I found what "we" wanted. I brought it home for the kitchen remodel contractor to install. I also stopped at the local hardware store to buy some earplugs just in case "Honey" came floating over the airwaves again.

7 Fantastic Valentines Present Ideas For Your Boyfriend - Get Him the Perfect Gift For Valentines

2010-07-04T06:09:00.001-07:00

Valentines day is coming. If you are looking to get your boyfriend, or husband a perfect Valentine gift this year, you should keep this in mind. Whether you are trying to rekindle the romance or this is the first time, you want to pick out the right gift for him. Below, I have combined the list of 7 Valentines present ideas for your men.

1. He is not a fashionable guy. You want to get him some design clothes or watches. Try to find out which kind of clothes fit best with his style. He probably got lots of old clothes, this is your chance to dress him up.The gift doesn't have to be expensive to be meaningful as long as he likes it.

2. He is an out-door fanatic. Does he like to run and exercise a lot? Maybe it's time for you to get him a new pair of running shoes or running pants. It is not very expensive but at the same time, thoughtful. If he likes to play golf, you can make him happy with a new golf club or golf bag.

3. He loves to play video games. Maybe you could surprise him with a brand new X-box or game console that he loves. Nintendo wii is also a great Valentine present for both you and him to have a fun time together.

4. He want to be a rock star and so do you. It's time to get a new Guitar hero III and both you and him and have a good time rocking to the music. If you don't like boring and quite time, this can be a great way to spend your Valentine together. I have never met anybody that doesn't like this game, even those that play a real guitar.

5. He like to drink wine and eat chocolate. A bottle of wine with warm intimate dinner can help you win his heart. You can be more creative and give him a rapid wine chiller. He will be impressed.

6. He loves to cook. Don't miss your chance to let him cook for you. Buy him a cook book of your favorite food and you will be a very happy women. Another great Valentines present idea for your chef is the nice knife sets which I'm sure he will love it.

7. He like to travel and take road trips. A GPS system is what he needs for those long drive. You wouldn't want both of you guys to get lost anyways.

Choosing the perfect wine cooler for your collection of fine wines could not be any easier. Your decision should really be based on your needs. There are several different styles, brands and types of wine chillers. Some are called wine chillers and sometimes they are referred to as wine cellars. The point of each is the same. To keep your wine collection in a humidity and temperature controlled environment.

You may be asking yourself why do I need a wine chiller? Good wines need proper storage and making sure that your wine is stored properly will ensure a perfect drink at any time.

Here are some things to consider and look for when choosing the prefect wine cooler. A good wine cellar should allow the wine bottles to sit on their sides. They should be easily accessible. You want to be able to get to any bottle without disturbing or moving any other bottles in your collection. Keeping those bottles still is a very important part of aging your drink.

The next thing to focus on would be the size. There are large wine chillers and some that are made for a single bottle. The size should be determined by the size of your current growing collection. Make sure there is ample room for all of your bottles and any new ones that you might want to add.

You should also check the quality of the construction. A well built wine chiller will have quality hinges and seals that prevent any temperature or humidity leaks. You want a constant temperature of around 55 degrees. A temperature thermostat and a humidity thermostat are also very important features that should be considered.

Keeping all of this in mind should help you make the perfect decision on your wine cooler.

Just the mention of the word of champagne conjures up something very special. This could not be truer than considering the gift of champagne at Christmas time. It doesn't make a difference whether the receiver of this special present is a friend, a relative, a coworker or that special romantic partner, you'll never find anybody who is not appreciated the great bottle of champagne.

Personalise the Label

There many online champagne merchants who also offer specialised and customised printed labels. So, instead of just grabbing one off the shelf at your off license store, consider searching online for a merchant that can personalise the bottle label and perhaps one that features labels with Christmas themes. You may be able to find anything from a label with Christmas trees on it to ones with big red bow, if they can't do this service for you then why not do it yourself?

Gift Sets are Popular

Although the champagne in and of itself is a fabulous gift at holiday time, consider making it even more special by having it accompanied with accessories such as a personalised bottle opener, an ice bucket, or perhaps a couple of bottles transported in a charming wicker basket. Also, personalising a set of wine glasses will go a long way toward you being remembered for presenting this a special gift.

Wine Tasting Like a Pro - Questions to Answer

2010-05-12T16:18:00.001-07:00

One of the biggest concerns I hear from friends and family when we talk about wine tasting is that they are concerned about how to wine taste in a way that everyone in the tasting room won't think they are new to the world of wine.

I usually tell them that no one is paying attention and that while some people within the industry are quite stuffy, that the wine industry is much more friendly and considerate then they might otherwise imagine.

As you might expect, that doesn't settle their nerves, so here is a short list to get you started and hopefully make you feel more comfortable in the tasting room environment.

To start your tasting experience I suggest finding an area of the tasting room where you can have adequate space, access to a spit cup and a glass of water.

You should be started with white wine's and work progressively from lighter wines to heavier, often finishing with a dessert wine or port if the winery makes one.

When you first receive the wine in your glass start by smelling the wine. Take a minute, what do you smell? Swirl the wine in your glass for a bit to let the oxygen interact with the wine, read the provided tasting notes. Do you smell anything they have listed?

Ok, so taste the wine but don't swallow it instantly. Move the wine around your mouth and tongue. You want to move the wine around your mouth because your tongue picks up different flavors more easily based on the area of the tongue.

Can you taste anything listed on the tasting notes?

Lastly I do suggest that you use the spit cup at least half the time, don't be afraid to pour out a wine if you don't care for it. For most people there is so much great wine out there, why taste the time and calories on one you don't enjoy? Even when spitting you should be able to get some idea about the finish of the wine. Does it leave your mouth dry or wet? Wait at least thirty seconds, does the flavor in your mouth change over time? Does the finish of the wine stay with you?

I also suggest people spend thirty seconds with a wine before making any determination about the quality of the wine and if they like it or not.

Taking these easy to follow questions should not only make you feel more comfortable about wine tasting, but should allow you a better idea of the types of wine that you truly enjoy.

French Wine Making

2010-05-10T16:12:00.001-07:00

Wine making in France is not only a very economically viable activity but is also considered to be no less than any form of art. It is often referred to as an expression of one's creativity and the maker is literally considered to be an artist.

There are many different varieties of French wines. The most crucial factors that create differences in the kind of wine being prepared are, the choice of territory, the climate, the date of harvest, grape variety, the kind of container in which fermentation takes place, the temperature at which the grape juice is maintained during fermentation, the exact period of fermentation, and the type of container in which maturation takes place. All these factors are important determiners of the kind of wine which is ultimately made, its taste, color and peculiar smell.

In total, there are eleven suggested steps in wine making. These are plantation or grafting of a vine stock, growing of a grape bunch, subsequent harvesting of the grapes, de-stemming (only for red wines) and crushing the grapes, alcoholic fermentation of the liquid, maceration (only for red wines), raking the wine, malolactic fermentation, maturation of the wine, bottling the wine and finally, tasting the wine. The steps may be altered or changed depending on the kind of wine to be produced.

There is no one particular way to make wines. The methods of wine making differ from not only region to region but also from one wine maker to another. That is what makes the different kinds of wine available to the people. However, there are certain guidelines given to the wine makers and the vineyard owners as to how the process of wine making should be carried out. These simply provide frameworks to wine making and do not serve as rigid rules.

A Wine Lover's Weekly Guide to $10 Wines - A Red Crete (Greece) Blend

2010-05-09T04:25:00.001-07:00

This is one of our first Greek wine reviews and the first review devoted to a wine from the island of Crete which produces about one fifth of all Greek wine. Kourtaki, the producer, was founded way back in 1895 by Vassili Kourtakis; perhaps the first Greek to obtain a diploma in oenology, the study of wine. This company started with retsina, but happily moved on to better wines. Kourtaki is now the largest producer of Greek wine, bottling an estimated thirty million bottles a year, half of which are exported. They are still producing re;sina wine, but frankly the less said about retsina (which by European Economic Community policy may only be produced in Greece) the better. The wine reviewed is a blend of the red Kotsifali grape found mostly in Greece and the red Mandilara grape, the most widely planted Aegean red variety. These two grapes are often blended together.

OUR WINE REVIEW POLICY All wines that we taste and review are purchased at the full retail price.

Wine Reviewed
Kourtaki Vin de Crete Red 2008 12.0% alcohol about $8.50

Let's start by quoting the marketing materials. Tasting Note: Deep purple color; cassis and red berry aroma; berry fruit flavor, medium body and medium length. Serving Suggestion: Serve with souvlaki or pork kebobs. And now for my review.

At the first sips the wine was strongly acidic with some berries. It was not unpleasant. Its first pairing was with barbecued beef ribs in a sweet ketchup sauce. The wine's acidity was tamed. There were no tannins and not much flavor. The accompanying potatoes roasted in chicken fat seemed to give this wine more body. In the presence of an overly spicy salsa with tomatoes, onions, green peppers, and cilantro the wine picked up some power.

The next meal involved zucchini stuffed with rice and ground beef accompanied by green beans in a tomato sauce. The wine was somewhat harsh and short. I tasted berries. With the green beans the wine's acidity toned down and as the meal proceeded the its harshness dropped. The dessert of orange fruit juice candy rendered this wine essentially tasteless.

My final meal was composed of beef stew with potatoes. The wine was thin but tasted of tobacco and berries. When I added some powerful jalapeno pepper sauce the wine's fruit intensified. The oriental-style side salad with tomatoes, pimentos, and garlic made the wine longer.

I ended the bottle with Matjes herring and two local cheeses. With the herring the wine was lightly acidic with virtually no tannins and tasted of red cherries. A relatively tasteless brick cheese managed to overpower this wine. When facing a somewhat tastier marbled cheddar cheese, the wine perked up a bit; the fruit was back.

Final verdict. I would not buy this wine again. But if you don't like tannins and want a red wine other than Beaujolais you might consider this wine.

Transforming Your Basement - Embellishing The Windows

2010-05-06T16:00:00.001-07:00

The basement transformation is in the final stages of completion. You find yourself looking at all the work you have done in the past few months. It has all been worth it.

With all the proud feelings you have, you should be feeling that feeling of completion but, incredibly, a little bit of the room is just not right. You have forgotten a part of it but, what?

That emotion you feel is a result of all the time and money you have invested in the transformation of your basement. It does not matter if the work was a do-it-yourself or a professional job, the final steps need to be completed to add that final change to the room. The very thing to give you the feeling of finality.

Most of the great things about the transformation are complete. The missing item is not to be lost. This list will help you find the item that is not finished yet.

1. Electricity and wiring

2. Water pipes

3. All wires for the speaker system

4. Drywall, mud, and paint color

5. Ceiling panels and paint

6. Brand new flooring

7. Finished baseboards, molding around windows, and brand new doors

8. Cabinetry and wet bar

9. Refrigerator, wine chiller, sink for wet bar

10. Fireplace, lighting

It all fits together nicely. The program was carefully executed and all the pieces tie in together with the right colors and decorations. The materials of the room itself all match perfectly. The brown in the wood adds a homey touch to the room. Then, without a seconds thought, you realize what it is you have neglected to do. The windows are as bare as the day you started this transformation.

Yuck - The shine coming off the metal around the windows hits you like a ton of bricks. Do not think for a moment that you are not glad those windows are there. You are very glad they allow any light into the gloomy room. Those windows are horrible.

These windows were really left out of the transformation because they are an outside issue. The wells of the windows are in need of being completed along with the rest of the room. It has become even more obvious to you that they are going to need a lot of TLC to make this room perfect.

Hiding the windows with a window treatment might work for a while but it is not the right thing to do because of the need for sunlight into the room. We must find a way to hide that metal sticking out all over the window but with what?

The metal can hold a coat of paint but that would be a time consuming project. You can use some form of built cover the hide the metal but this would make the space smaller and not allow anyone to use it as an emergency exit.

The problem has a resolution. There are slim decorative covers that attach to the metal of the window. They are made from a sturdy, waterproof, bendable plastic that will not change in any temperature. It goes inside of the window well and adheres to the metal.

As the covering is completed, the sunlight showers the room with amazing color. Because the covering is rounded out, the third dimensional effect it causes will be none like you has ever seen. At this moment, with the beautiful background, any décor you attempt in the rest of the room will not matter. Any way you would like to complete it will be an accent to the room. Be as creative as you feel and make this space as individual as you are.

These pictures come in many forms. You can choose from a woodsy setting, lakes, river, or mountains outside the glass. If you prefer, you can choose a golf motif. It might be a relaxing waterfall impression. You can always look out at the beach or a tropical paradise.

It does not matter what you have done in the past with the transformation of the room, this is the final element that ties it all together nicely. This beautiful covering for your window has brought all the items together in a joint effort. You have been looking for the finality.

Now, as you stand back and admire your basement, you know you are finally complete!

While the process of decanting is simply a part of a long standing tradition for many, there are others that swear by the process as it relates to taste. Decanting adds a flair to the festivities, but there is a touch of science behind it all, as well. However, there's a little more to decanting than simply pouring the bottle's contents into another container!

It All Started Way Back When...

Older wines that have been stored for many years in a cellar will usually develop a sediment that looks and tastes rather unappealing. If decanting is done properly, then this sediment will be tossed out with the bottle instead of pouring into your glass. However, there is a little more to consider.

Some people believe that simply opening your favorite bottle a couple of hours before serving will allow it to breathe. With some of the older reds, the taste may be masked by an astringent quality and can be rather harsh. Allowing the bottle to breathe can expose it to oxygen, which effectively allows the full character, bouquet, and flavor to develop.

Decanting and Aerating Are Not the Same

Many people easily confuse the two practices. A wine aerator may be used to weave oxygen into the liquid to improve the taste. While decanting performs a somewhat similar act, the main purpose is to remove the sediment. Some of the better wine aerators are set atop a glass or decanter and the liquid is slowly poured through. This style of aerator provides the highest quality of aeration, as the vino flows down the sides of the glass and over the "sweet spot" of the curve. The result is simply fantastic experience in taste, character, and aroma.

Using Both Methods to Achieve Perfection

The pouring method used in decanting would serve the wine aerator well. This would prevent the sediment from emptying into the decanter or the glass, at least when it's done correctly. There really is something to be said for experience in decanting, but also in choosing the right product to achieve perfect aeration.

It's Time to Enjoy a Glass of Fantastic Vino

There you have it. When it comes to your favorite bottle of red, it's time to put the wine aerator to good use, but also to use the proper decanting technique when pouring. Imagine the perfect glass from your favorite year. Have you looked forward to it all day? It's now closer than ever! Sit back, relax, and enjoy!
