“Bargain Red Wines Revealed” is so appropriate for the holidays when EVERYONE is looking for approachable, good-tasting wines for the celebrations ahead. Once again, I asked my friend and colleague Ann Trieger to help me out and make some suggestions. Ann came up with two FABULOUS choices…. You’ll just have to watch to find out. As we mentioned last week in “Bargain White Wines Revealed” , it’s great to see how relaxed and unpretentious wine-tasting has become!! I love it!! Since I know that everyone is busy at this time (including me!!) so have a GREAT holiday, for those of you who are celebrating!!!

Don’t get me wrong, I am a great wine enthusiast and I first started studying about wine when I lived in Paris in 1976. Then, I was honored and thrilled to be working with the famous British wine expert Steven Spurrier who had started a small, special wine bar and school called L’Academie du Vin right off of the Rue Royale in Paris. (I lived around the corner.) The classes were small, fun, packed with information, and ones that I will always treasure. But as I delved deeper into finding more abut about wine, I noticed (even then in Paris) a kind of snobbery and pretentiousness that made me uncomfortable. So it is with great joy that I welcome the recent relaxed and casual approach to the enjoyment of wine that we are seeing today- especially among younger people. Watch the unorthodox Gary Vaynerchuk, the star of Wine Library TV . He is HYSTERICAL!!! It was in this spirit that I sought out my friend and colleague Ann Trieger, who has always been enthusiastically celebrating the new pioneers of wine here and abroad. Ann was the first one to enthuse excitedly to me Chilean wine LONG before other wine experts were singing its praises. And there are so MANY new, and exciting wines in the market that are delicious, unique, and NOT expensive!! We will explore this more in the upcoming weeks on Spicesoflife as we continue our quest to have fun, pleasure, and enjoyment, and (Dare I say??) LEARN!! Onward and upward to MORE affordable wine enjoyment!!!! (Stay tuned for next week and Part II) !!! (And please sign up and add your friends to our newsletter list.!!) Wines: 2006 Oyster Bay Sauvignon Blanc, New Zealand 2006 Gruner Veltliner, Austria Health: For the Health-Giving Properties of Wine, we turned to our good friends at the Harvard School of Public Health. http://www.hsph.harvard.edu/nutritionsource/alcohol.html Wine Saver: Vacu Vin Vacuum Wine Saver http://www.vacuvin.nl/
