LOOKING BEHIND THE LABEL

To most, wine is a delicious mystery. We purchase it,
uncork it, and savor its taste and beauty. But there is so
much more to true wine appreciation. Many secrets are
simply too good to keep bottled up.

WINE SELECTIONS SUGGESTIONS

Selecting the right wine for the right occasion can
sometimes be a seemingly awkward or difficult task for
the beginning wine enthusiast. We would therefore like to
present you with a few suggestions which may provide a
little more confidence and enjoyment when choosing and
serving your wines.
When selecting wines, keep an open mind and do not be
afraid to be adventurous. Do not view the subject of wine
so seriously it discourages you from learning and
discovering for fear of embarrassment if something is
incorrect. Wine is best viewed as a hobby and enjoyed.
When assembling your collection, try not to become
obsessed with "Vintages." Although a chart can be a useful
tool, generalizations about a specific year have led more
than one collector to disappointment. Often an "Off Year"
will provide a better value and more drinking enjoyment.
The primary guideline to the subject of wine is your own
palate. Do not be afraid to make mistakes. Experiment,
discover, but most of all, enjoy yourself and your new U-
Line product.

Matching Food and Wine
Although there are no hard fast rules for matching wine to
food, observe some guidelines. Delicate dishes should be
accompanied by lighter more delicate wines. Full-flavored
foods should be matched with fuller-bodied wines.
As a general rule, one should aim to ascend in flavor and
quality of wines served.
Serve a:
DRY wine
WHITE wine
YOUNG wine
LIGHT-BODIED wine
Any step back in quality will be noticed. If a fine wine is
tasted prior to a lesser wine, many of the fine wine's
subtle qualities may be missed.
