DadLabs – Holiday Wines

December 5, 2007 by · Leave a Comment 

DadLabs produced this short video (3:44) to share some of their opinions on some wines for the holidays. They may have borrowed a few ideas from Wine Library TV, but they gave appropriate credits where due. We’ll have to send them some wine glasses to replace their plastic cups with, but otherwise fairly civilized snapshot into the world of dad’s wine tasting methodology.

Grab a wine glass and a bottle of wine (beer works if you don’t keep wine around) and enjoy the show!

John Fischer of the Culinary Institute of America demonstrates how to open a bottle of champagne just in time for the holidays! (6:44)

Did you know it was illegal to call sparkling wine that isn’t from Champagne France “champagne”? It is! Don’t turn yourself into the local police yet though because it isn’t strictly enforced here in the U.S. as it has been in Europe.

Two important lessons about opening champagne we learn in this video is about how to open a bottle safely and why it’s important to make as little a “popping” sound as possible when removing the cork. Happy holidays!
