Am 19. Juni 2015 verlegte die Weinkellerei F. W. Langguth Erben aus Traben-Trarbach die Welt der Erben Weine für einen Abend von der Mosel an die Spree und feierte mit „Hot Barbecue“ die erfolgreiche Premiere einer neuen Veranstaltungsreihe. Mit der „Erben Tafelrunde“, einer Serie von Pop-up-Events, möchte das Familienunternehmen Langguth seine Traditionsmarke künftig einem jungen, urbanen Publikum näher bringen. - Ziel von Langguth ist es, den Teilnehmern an den Veranstaltungen ein ungewöhnliches, überraschendes und mit allen Sinnen erfahrbares Markenerlebnis rund um die Erben Weine zu bieten und dadurch die Grundlage für eine emotionale Bindung zu fördern.
Die Premiere fand an einem Ort statt, der selbst in Berlin noch als Geheimtipp gilt - ein direkt an der Spree gelegenes, altes Kranhaus (Kranhaus Café) in Köpenick. Den rund 40 Gästen, darunter Mitglieder der wachsenden Markenbotschafter-Community der „Erben Gemeinschaft“ und Berliner Food- und Genussblogger, wurde die An- und Abreise vom und zum Historischen Hafen auf dem solarbetrieben Katamaran SOLON ermöglicht. Getreu dem Motto des Abends „Hot Barbecue: Chili trifft Erben Wein“ war das Programm als kulinarisches Crowd-Pairing-Experiment angelegt, in dessen Verlauf verschiedene Chili-Saucen, präsentiert vom Chili-Fachmann Felix Eichholtz vom Pfefferhaus Berlin mit diversen Weinen aus dem Erben Sortiment kombiniert wurden. Dazu exquisite Barbecue-Gerichte, authentisch zubereitet im „Smoker“ von BBQ-Master Adam Ramirez aus Texas von „The Pit - Real Texas Barbecue“. Anders als beim klassischen Wine-Pairing wurde den Gästen beim Crowd-Pairing pro Gang eine Auswahl aus drei Erben Weinen serviert. Die Idee hinter dem Crowd-Pairing ist, nicht Weinexperten, sondern den Schwarm per Abstimmung entscheiden zu lassen, welche Food-Wein-Kombination am besten zusammenpasst. Für den Veranstalter und die Teilnehmer war der Auftakt der Pop-up-Eventserie am Ende ein voller Erfolg.

HOT BARBECUE: Chili meets Erben wine
On June 19, 2015, the F. W. Langguth Erben winery from Traben-Trarbach moved the world of Erben wines from the Mosel to the Spree for an evening and celebrated the successful premiere of a new series of events with "Hot Barbecue". With the "Erben Tafelrunde", a series of pop-up events, the Langguth family business aims to bring its traditional brand closer to a young, urban audience in future. - Langguth's aim is to offer participants in the events an unusual, surprising brand experience around Erben wines that can be experienced with all the senses, thereby promoting the basis for an emotional bond.
The premiere took place at a location that is still considered an insider tip even in Berlin - an old crane house (Kranhaus Café) in Köpenick, located directly on the River Spree. Around 40 guests, including members of the growing "Erben Gemeinschaft" brand ambassador community and Berlin food and gourmet bloggers, were able to travel to and from the historic harbor on the solar-powered catamaran SOLON. True to the motto of the evening "Hot Barbecue: Chili meets Erben Wine", the program was designed as a culinary crowd-pairing experiment, in the course of which various chili sauces, presented by chili expert Felix Eichholtz from Pfefferhaus Berlin, were combined with various wines from the Erben range. These were accompanied by exquisite barbecue dishes, authentically prepared in the "smoker" by BBQ master Adam Ramirez from Texas from "The Pit - Real Texas Barbecue". In contrast to classic wine pairing, guests were served a selection of three heirloom wines per course at the crowd-pairing event. The idea behind crowd-pairing is not to let wine experts decide which food-wine combination goes best together, but to let the crowd decide by voting. The kick-off of the pop-up event series ended up being a complete success for the organizer and the participants.

A collaboration between Dave Matthews and acclaimed wine maker Steve Reeder, Dreaming Tree captures the spirit of California's wine country. United by their shared passion to make quality wines accessible to everyone, the two friends set out on a journey to discover the unique characters and rich flavors that give the region it's rare charm
The rhythm of the North Coast Cabernet Sauvignon highlights classic aromas of blackberry, cherry and herbal notes wrapped by toasted vanilla. It's an easy-drinking wine with a lot of character.
Napa Valley,Opus One Winery
The Opus One winery was founded by Baroness Philippine de Rothschild and Robert Mondavi
So the first time I tried this, it went straight to my back teeth. It was like being punched in the jaw by a bunch of grapes. The Boyfriend got that pinched sour face and proclaimed that he was now and forever a white wine person.
Funny thing is, we hit it again one night later and the taste had mellowed considerably. It was much less offensive, though it still managed to give me a mild buzz after a couple of glasses.
Lesson: Not everything with a "sauvignon" on the label is going to be what I'm looking for.
Oh, and red wine so goes with donuts. What, you didn't know that? Savages....
The heat wave that all the wineries in the Napa Valley have been waiting for has begun!
The weather is predicted to be in the mid to high 90's for the next 3 to 4 days. When it reaches the final hot day the wineries will start picking the Cabernet Sauvignon grapes at night. Flood lights will be set up in the vineyards, moving them from block to block. The heat spell will bring the sugar content in the grapes to the highest levels, making this time of the year the optimum picking period for the berries.
Everybody in the Napa Valley is saying that 2012 will be a GREAT year for all varieties of Napa Valley wine (hint, hint, nudge, nudge, say no more!)
The Francis Ford Coppola Diamond Collection Cabernet Sauvignon is a lovely purple garnet color, with aromas of cherries, pomegranate and anise. The palate shows flavors of cassis, berries vanilla and oak, topped off with a rich, luscious texture
This is the wine rack after the restoration. It stands approximately 30".
The pattern of the stained glass is a hand drawn grape vine with leaves. I've also put names of wines on a few select leaves (which can be seen in the next picture).
The surrounding stained glass is a textured amber with streaks of chocolate brown whispies.
This was a team effort between me and my sweet husband. He made the wooden frame and I created the grape bunches/leaves covering the wooden base frame.
My husband made the light box that the top sits on. It's lined with aluminum tape and has 2 LED strip lights in it that can be controlled by a remote control.
I painted the wrought iron frame a terracota and camo blasted it with a dark chocolate. I painted the vines using the same colors I used on the frame.
The memory of seeing my daughter's face Christmas morning is one that will always make me immediately smile!!
Broad shouldered and muscular, yet food friendly and approachable, Uppercut Cabernet Sauvignon makes the perfect match for a sizzling steak.
The wine's generous black cherry and blackberry aromas and flavors draw you in and then, with each swirl and sip, reveal complex hints of mocha, anise, tamari and mineral, plus a racy hint of smokiness.
Well-structured tannins give this wine the backbone to stand up to boldly flavored foods, as well as a plush texture that carries the rich dark-fruit flavors through the lingering finish. This wine's multilayered personality is unmistakably Napa Valley Cab.
The prized offering, the ultra premium Claret, sports a label that honors the first Cabernet Sauvignon blended in a Bordeaux style by Gustave Niebaum in 1910. Claret is a term originally coined by the British to describe Cabernet-based wines. This Cabernet Sauvignon, Petit Verdot, Malbec and Cabernet Franc blend is alluring and sophisticated; it is memorably lush with a tapestry of smooth tannins and succulent flavors of wild berries, plum and anise. Borrowing tradition of European wineries, we add gold netting to bottle to signify outstanding quality of wine. ~ www.franciscoppolawinery.com/wine/diamond/claret
It must be "wine o'clock" somewhere. So here's to a wonderful Friday and a fabulous weekend ahead! Cheers!

Not traditonal, but we add a couple of dashes of Zatarain's Creole or Cajun seasoning for a little kick.
And we don't add a whole bottle of red wine, just a cup±, enough to give the broth some body.

#RED #BORDEAUXBLEND
#RedBordeaux is generally made from a blend of grapes. Permitted grapes are #CabernetSauvignon, #CabernetFranc, #Merlot, #PetitVerdot, #Malbec and rarely #Carménère.
Today Carménère is rarely used, with #ChâteauClercMilon, a fifth growth Bordeaux, being one of the few to still retain Carménère vines.
As of #July2019, Bordeaux wineries authorized the use of four new #redgrapes to combat temperature increases in Bordeaux.
These newly approved grapes are #Marselan, #Touriga Nacional, #Castets, and #Arinarnoa.
#SaintEStephe ,
has 43 independent #winegrowers, 5 #greatgrowths
(24% of total area under vine) and a cooperative.

From California's Central Coast, Robert Hall keeps this vino in barrels for 18 months underground before bottling. A smooth berry currant and cedar, with a little bit of spice at the finish. I recommend this year and the 2010.

Am 19. Juni 2015 verlegte die Weinkellerei F. W. Langguth Erben aus Traben-Trarbach die Welt der Erben Weine für einen Abend von der Mosel an die Spree und feierte mit „Hot Barbecue“ die erfolgreiche Premiere einer neuen Veranstaltungsreihe. Mit der „Erben Tafelrunde“, einer Serie von Pop-up-Events, möchte das Familienunternehmen Langguth seine Traditionsmarke künftig einem jungen, urbanen Publikum näher bringen. - Ziel von Langguth ist es, den Teilnehmern an den Veranstaltungen ein ungewöhnliches, überraschendes und mit allen Sinnen erfahrbares Markenerlebnis rund um die Erben Weine zu bieten und dadurch die Grundlage für eine emotionale Bindung zu fördern.
Die Premiere fand an einem Ort statt, der selbst in Berlin noch als Geheimtipp gilt - ein direkt an der Spree gelegenes, altes Kranhaus (Kranhaus Café) in Köpenick. Den rund 40 Gästen, darunter Mitglieder der wachsenden Markenbotschafter-Community der „Erben Gemeinschaft“ und Berliner Food- und Genussblogger, wurde die An- und Abreise vom und zum Historischen Hafen auf dem solarbetrieben Katamaran SOLON ermöglicht. Getreu dem Motto des Abends „Hot Barbecue: Chili trifft Erben Wein“ war das Programm als kulinarisches Crowd-Pairing-Experiment angelegt, in dessen Verlauf verschiedene Chili-Saucen, präsentiert vom Chili-Fachmann Felix Eichholtz vom Pfefferhaus Berlin mit diversen Weinen aus dem Erben Sortiment kombiniert wurden. Dazu exquisite Barbecue-Gerichte, authentisch zubereitet im „Smoker“ von BBQ-Master Adam Ramirez aus Texas von „The Pit - Real Texas Barbecue“. Anders als beim klassischen Wine-Pairing wurde den Gästen beim Crowd-Pairing pro Gang eine Auswahl aus drei Erben Weinen serviert. Die Idee hinter dem Crowd-Pairing ist, nicht Weinexperten, sondern den Schwarm per Abstimmung entscheiden zu lassen, welche Food-Wein-Kombination am besten zusammenpasst. Für den Veranstalter und die Teilnehmer war der Auftakt der Pop-up-Eventserie am Ende ein voller Erfolg.

HOT BARBECUE: Chili meets Erben wine
On June 19, 2015, the F. W. Langguth Erben winery from Traben-Trarbach moved the world of Erben wines from the Mosel to the Spree for an evening and celebrated the successful premiere of a new series of events with "Hot Barbecue". With the "Erben Tafelrunde", a series of pop-up events, the Langguth family business aims to bring its traditional brand closer to a young, urban audience in future. - Langguth's aim is to offer participants in the events an unusual, surprising brand experience around Erben wines that can be experienced with all the senses, thereby promoting the basis for an emotional bond.
The premiere took place at a location that is still considered an insider tip even in Berlin - an old crane house (Kranhaus Café) in Köpenick, located directly on the River Spree. Around 40 guests, including members of the growing "Erben Gemeinschaft" brand ambassador community and Berlin food and gourmet bloggers, were able to travel to and from the historic harbor on the solar-powered catamaran SOLON. True to the motto of the evening "Hot Barbecue: Chili meets Erben Wine", the program was designed as a culinary crowd-pairing experiment, in the course of which various chili sauces, presented by chili expert Felix Eichholtz from Pfefferhaus Berlin, were combined with various wines from the Erben range. These were accompanied by exquisite barbecue dishes, authentically prepared in the "smoker" by BBQ master Adam Ramirez from Texas from "The Pit - Real Texas Barbecue". In contrast to classic wine pairing, guests were served a selection of three heirloom wines per course at the crowd-pairing event. The idea behind crowd-pairing is not to let wine experts decide which food-wine combination goes best together, but to let the crowd decide by voting. The kick-off of the pop-up event series ended up being a complete success for the organizer and the participants.

Active Assignment for the week 26th Dec-1st Jan - Before and After
Create an image (or images) that give a sense of significant change by capturing a moment (or the moments) in time before and after the change has happened.
No real restrictions this week - I think finding time to Flickr during the the holiday period will provide enough challenges!!!
Dare: Try and show the before and after concept in the same shot.
What it took : Available lighting plus flash, PhotoShop (to enhance lighting/exposure/colors)... and most importantly: Discipline/self-control not to drink (too much!) before I got a good shot!! :) :) :)

The subtle pattern and refined palette of this winery business card makes it perfect for a high-end winery and vineyard. The stylish faint grape leaves and the ornate type are all reminiscent of warm Central Valley afternoons spent amongst the cellars and the vines.
#RED #BORDEAUXBLEND
#RedBordeaux is generally made from a blend of grapes. Permitted grapes are #CabernetSauvignon, #CabernetFranc, #Merlot, #PetitVerdot, #Malbec and rarely #Carménère.
Today Carménère is rarely used, with #ChâteauClercMilon, a fifth growth Bordeaux, being one of the few to still retain Carménère vines.
As of #July2019, Bordeaux wineries authorized the use of four new #redgrapes to combat temperature increases in Bordeaux.
These newly approved grapes are #Marselan, #Touriga Nacional, #Castets, and #Arinarnoa.
#SaintEStephe ,
has 43 independent #winegrowers, 5 #greatgrowths
(24% of total area under vine) and a cooperative.

Penfolds Grange 1998 is a blend of 97% shiraz and 3% cabernet sauvignon.
1998 was a very good year for shiraz, and to even find a 1998 Grange, let alone a magnum, was a pretty rare opportunity that I could not pass up.
I bought this bottle in Brisbane, and plan to cellar it for a long time.
It is not a 'drink now' wine, and will mature and change character over many years of proper cellar storage.
Lighting setup:

2. Canon Speedlite 580EX II positioned at 45 degrees to camera right, 2m from the subject, at a higher elevation. Power set to 1/4th; zoom set to 35mm. Shot through a hand-held 80cm diffuser dish. Triggered by a PocketWizard PLUS II.
The highlight of the week - delicious Cab from the Alexander Valley region (California). It has strong cherry overtones with an amazing vanilla finish. Smooth and delicious with no lingering tannins...
