Welcome to Our Wine Resource Portal

    We hope our vino site will help you find a great wine gift or the necessary information you need for choosing and storing your favorite wines. Growing up Italian, this wine loving culture helped us learn an appreciation for making wine and enjoying the grape.



    Wine Tasting Tips:

  • Fill clear glass 1/3 full.
  • Use a clear glass so you can see the contents.
  • After looking at the wine, you should close your eyes and engage your sense of smell. Swirling the wine also releases more of its scent.
  • Taste and smell are inextricably bound to each other.
  • Taking a generous sip will let you perceive the most.
  • First swirl it in your mouth to get a sense of its weight and texture. This procedure will allow you to classify a wine as light, medium or full-bodied. Does it feel good on the tongue? Does it have a rasp or does it feel smooth and silky? Does it remind you of licking chalk or a smooth stone? Or does it coat your tongue, evoking images of a sediment-rich pond, teeming with diversity?
  • Swirling the wine in your mouth also gets all of your taste buds involved in the experience.
  • Some expert tasters take in a breath of air when they swirl to activate the elements of the wine.
  • Now swallow and see what happens.

Remember if sampling more than one to spit out the contents.

Cheers and please drink responsibly!
