Syrah & Shiraz
Let’s clear something up right away: Syrah and Shiraz are the exact same wine. When Syrah (Sih-Rah) arrived in Australia from its birthplace in France, Australian winemakers took to calling it Shiraz (Shi – RAZ), instead of the grape’s original name, Syrah. We like to chalk this renaming up to the Australian accentand their penchant for making many common words more fun to say, like how they call a barbecue a barbie.
No matter what you call it, Syrah is one of the darkest red wines on the market. Darker than Cabernet Sauvignon, this wine is so dark that if you ...
Aging Wine
Aging or “cellaring” a wine means that you decide to take a wine you have purchased and store it in a cool, dark place for a number of years, allowing the wine to improve as it sits in the bottle. However, most of us have no idea what wines we should age, and what wines we should drink now, but luckily there are some rules that make this decision pretty easy.
The wine industry loves to talk about aging and collecting wine because drinking a really old wine has a romantic allure. An old wine gives us a way to re-experience a year that was special in our memory, maybe ...

Rhone Wine
The Rhone Valley is a key wine-producing region in the southeast of France. It follows the north–south course of the Rhone river for almost 150 miles (240km) from Lyon to the Rhone Delta (the Bouches-du-Rhône), near the Mediterranean coast.
The length of the valley means that Rhone wines are the product of a wide variety of soil types and mesoclimates. The region’s wine-producing areas cover such a distance that there is a widely accepted division between its northern and southern parts. Rather neatly, they are separated by a gap of 25 miles (40 km) between the towns ...
What is Oak? Guide To Oaked & Unoaked Wines
Many wines can benefit from coming in contact with oak. Oak can enhance the color of the wine, soften and round out flavors, and impart its own unique characteristics. Almost all red wines and many white wines spend time in oak barrels before being bottled, and that’s just because winemakers have found they taste better that way.
We like to think of a winemaker using oak as a chef would use salt, you use a little or a lot to either just slightly bring out other flavors, or to have the oak’s own characteristics play a more prominent role. However, just as a chef can ...
A brief history of beer
Like wine, beer has a long history, one that’s longer than we’ll ever be able to tracer. Residue of the first known barley beer was found in a jar at the Godin Tepe excavation site in modern day Iran, presumably sitting there since someone took his or her last sip around 3400 B.C. But chances are, the first beer had been “cracked” millennia before that.
So while an exact date or time for the first chug, or keg stand, or even hiccup, is not known, what is known is that beer, like bread, developed best in farm-based, agrarian societies where there was an enough ...
The Guide To Old World Wine Vs. New World Wine
The distinctions between Old World wines and New World wines are commonly misunderstood. Many people throw these terms around broadly, saying they prefer Old to New or New to Old without really knowing what the difference is between the two styles, or what makes a wine truly Old World or New World. At VinePair we don’t believe one style is better than the other, but we’re going to break down what each term means so you can better understand and use them.
Old World Wine vs. New World Wine
When someone uses the term Old World they are referring to wines made in ...
7 Of The World’s Most Amazing Wine Themed Hotels
Of all the amenities a hotel can offer—who doesn’t love those incredibly expensive jars of beer nuts?—our favorite is kind of obvious: wine. Not all hotels offer it, but since concierge serving seems to be seriously upping its game, you’re seeing more and more (and finer) amenities show up in your room, or even your hands, upon arrival. The best, or most wine-crazed, hotels take it to another level, dedicating almost the entirety of the establishment to a collective love of the fruit of the vine.
Of course, there are hotels in wine country—plenty, thankfully. ...
