The Wine Ladies

Let's Talk Turkey! To decant or not to decant that is the question!

We have been invited to my month-in-laws for Thanksgiving dinner, and I would like to surprise her with a decanter as a gift. She is just getting into wine and I thought she might enjoy this surprise instead of flowers or chocolates.

Would I be able to find one that would fall into my limited budget of around $35-$50? I'd like to share a few words of wisdom with my gift as well, if you wouldn't mind offering a few tips it would be greatly appreciated.

Should all red wines be decanted and what are the main reasons for decanting?

Before using, place the RAVI in the freezer for 6 hours. When ready to give your wine the perfect chill, assemble the two parts and place it on the bottle. Tip the bottle sharply, and pour. The RAVI can chill up to a full bottle of wine, one glass at a time effectively by controlling the flow of the wine with the air-take valve. Over time the RAVI will thaw, so pour more slowly with each subsequent glass allowing it ample opportunity to reach the ideal temperature for maximum enjoyment. Brilliant, portable and practical!

RAVI Instant Wine Chiller $39.95

RAVI Decanter $79.95

Modus Marvels... Ruffino Modus 2008 IGT Toscana leaves us smacking our lips

Beautiful elegant wine, lush with silky tannins elicits oohs and ahhs as our impromptu gathering of friends sip away and break bread with a healthy wedge of gorgonzola and some sausage.

Modus is a blend of Sangiovese, Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot, the typical trio to make up a Super Tuscan. This wine Modus, is so named due to the care taken in each varietal being individually picked when ripe and aged in small oak barrels. The result, a mouthful of plum, cherry, a touch of chocolate and with vibrant acidity and lively finish.

The label of Modus represents a modern interpretation of a historical property “The property “The rose of the winds is intertwined with the elements which form the soul of a great wine; the vine, the sun, the soil, the life, the time, the fruit, the manner, the wine”http://www.ruffino.com/pagine/pagina.aspx?ID=Poggio_Casci001&L=EN
