As a rule, however, dessert wine should always be paired with food that is equally or more sweet than the wine itself. Dessert wines should also be served in smaller glasses than table wine because of both the intensity of the flavors and the alcohol content. Often, dessert wine is best served at or below room temperature “Like gems hidden in a jewelry box!” Fortified wines are wines that contain alcohol (usually brandy) added during the fermentation process. Because the aim of dessert wine is t...

What the Temp? Does Wine Storage Matter? Temperature Tips We have a wine Goldilocks problem. When wine is too cold, you can hardly taste it. When it's too warm, it tastes yucky. But most wine, whether it's consumed at home or in restaurants, is often served at the wrong temperature. Back in the day, two benchmarks controlled wine service: The temperature of the wine cellar (about 55ºF or ~13ºC) and room temperature (which, in a European castle, would be in the low 60ºF or 15.5ºC). You served you...
