This cocktail is made with Brazilian spirits such as the Organic Cuca Cachaca (A Brazilian White Rum) and Passoa, Passion Fruit Liqueur. This easy drinking cocktail is the perfect way to cool off and enjoy the games. If you are having friends and family over to watch the game, just increase the amounts and make a pitcher sized serving fit for a crowd.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Cool as a Cucumber describes this awesome Organic Vodka. The folks at Square One Spirits have out done themselves by distilling fresh organic cucumbers directly into their organic vodka. The result is a super cool and refreshing vodka that is great in cocktails. One of our favorite cocktails to use this vodka in is Aromatherapy. This cocktail combines the cooling cucumber flavors with aromatics and bitters to bring your taste buds on a spa day they won't soon forget. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="color: #38761d;">Chad the Tie Guy's Drink of the Week:</span> This cocktail is amazing for the simple fact that it really uses some cool ingredients that most people would not normally think of putting together. The aromatic rose water and orange bitters give this drink such wonderful aromas that make you want to sit and smell it all day. I think cocktails like this highlight the healthy side of imbibing that can be enjoyed after a lovely yoga session without any regrets. Enjoy!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Kentucky Derby time is here again and on Saturday, May 7th the race will begin. No true race fan would be caught dead without a cold Mint Julep in their hand when that happens. The traditional Mint Julep is simply fresh mint, sugar, water and of course good Kentucky Bourbon. We have made it even simpler (and no sore wrists from muddling mint) by using Sonoma Syrup Co's Mint Infused Simple Syrup which provides fresh mint flavors with a sweet silky taste. When this is shaken over ice with good Bourbon, it is like being right in the front seats at the derby its self.</span><br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="http://www.whitehorsewine.com/proddetail.php?prod=111" target="_blank"><span style="color: black; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">Thursday, May 26th @ 7pm</span></a></div>
<br />
Pappy Van Winkle is the poster child for BUCKET LIST BOURBONS. It has been around since 1893 and is so hard to get that it sells out almost as soon as it comes into stores. Legions of adoring fans usually know before retailers do, exactly when it will be arriving. Since most large stores only receive a single bottle per year, most people are left reading about it instead of tasting it. This scarcity and high demand often drive retailers to jack up the price as much as fifty times what they bought it for.<br />
<br />
Here at White Horse Wine and Spirits we operate with a different mentality. Instead of jacking up the cost and only letting one lucky soul enjoy this luscious libation, we choose to offer a class so that more people get to enjoy this treat. After tasting this almost impossible to find bourbon, you can then decide for yourself if it is really what everyone hypes it up to be.<br />
<br />
If you would like to see what all the fuss is about and cross these bourbons off your bucket list, join us on Thursday, May 26th at 7pm. We will be opening the Van Winkle 10 year, Van Winkle 12 year, Pappy Van Winkle 20 year and our own Four Roses Single Barrel Bourbon. These bourbons will be specially paired up with fresh handmade food from our own Market at White Horse Wine and Spirits. Class spots fill up fast, so sign up in store or online at www.whitehorsewine.com (under the class tab). Classbooks are only $40 and will reserve you a seat in this limited 12 person class.<br />
<br />
If you can't make this class, keep your eyes open because we will be offering another one in the Fall. Cheers!

<span style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: 14.6667px; line-height: 1.38; white-space: pre-wrap;">April 16th, 2016 is RECORD STORE DAY (started in 2007) and Dogfish Head is the official beer. "What is Record Store Day?" you ask. It is a national day to support indie music stores around the country. In honor of this, Dogfish Head has released a new beer called Beer to Drink Music To. Dogfish Heads liquid tribute to Record Store Day, Beer To Drink Music To, was created as the perfect beer for fans to pair with their favorite songs. The ingredients are inspired by some of our favorite tunes: Orange Peel {Orange Crush by REM} Peppercorns {Sgt. Pepper by The Beatles}, Candi Sugar {Sugar On My Tongue by Talking Heads}, and Cardamom {Mock Song by Phish}. The result is a Belgian-style Tripel and a perfect marriage between beer and music. “The enjoyment of a beautiful beer with an amazing album at the same time is an exponentially awesome experience,” -Dogfish Head founder Sam Calagione</span><br />

These beers are very easy drinking, despite their high alcohol content (9%). If you really want to experience the full flavors of this beer, serve it cool but not cold and put it in a wine glass (or a belgian tulip glass if you have it). This is a must have for enjoying a warm Spring day of yard work!</span></span><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Easter is coming up this weekend and that gives us an excuse to talk about one of our favorite topics in the wine world: DRY ROSE! This category of wine is often misunderstood because consumers have been conditioned to think that everything that is pink is sweet. Not only are most pink (or rose) wines dry, but they are very popular around the world. This trend is slowly catching on in the United States as wine geeks like us champion the awesomeness of dry roses to customers. Most of the dry rose wines start arriving in the US around this time and pair extremely well with the usual Easter dinner foods.</span><br />

The combination of indigenous Austrian grapes (Zweigelt and St. Laurent) give this wine super aromatics of rose petal, cherry and strawberry with a really clean finish. This is one of those wines that just disappears from the glass. If you try one dry rose this year, make it this one!</span></span></div>

<br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Now that Spring is here and the weather is beautiful, it is time to spend more time outside. One of the most refreshing but little understood categories of beverages is ciders. Much like the Rieslings of the wine world, most people assume that all ciders are sweet. In fact, most ciders are made in a dry style with a super complex flavor that will amaze white wine lovers of Pinot Grigio and Sauvignon Blanc. </span><br />
<div>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">One of our favorite producers is Farnum Hill out of Vermont. These guys are not just cider makers who buy apple juice (like most of the big cider makers). These are apple farmers who use their ancient apple groves to produce ciders of exceptional quality that are well balanced and dry. If your in the mood to enjoy a Spring evening with a good drink, then pick up a bottle of <a href="https://www.whitehorsewine.com/proddetail.php?prod=081353400105" target="_blank">Farnum Hill Farmhouse Cider</a>.</span><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="color: #38761d;">Chad the Tie Guy's Drink of the Week:</span> I love farmhouse ciders because this is the original style of cider simply made from fresh pressed apples and natural wild yeast (used to ferment the sweet apple juice). These ciders are not overly syrupy and sweet like the newer ciders can be but are very easy drinking with a hint of sweetness. This makes the cider taste, well like fresh apples that are juicy but not overly sweet. Think of this as a liquid apple with a little bit of a buzz as a bonus. Enjoy with the gorgeous Spring weather!</span></div>

<span style="color: #4c1130; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Food Pairings:</span><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"> This pairs well with soft cheeses (such as goat cheese) drizzles with fresh honey and topped with toasted salty almond. Try this with a slow cooker pork and sauerkraut topped with crisp apple slices for a real sweet and sour treat!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="color: #38761d;">Chad the Tie Guy's Drink of the Week:</span> We want to spend more time outside at picnic spots and less time making craft cocktails. That definitely does not mean we want to resort to the overly sweet and artificially flavored premade cocktails that have been available in stores for years. Now with the craft cocktail movement we are seeing more premade cocktails with natural ingredients that we would use to make cocktails at home. These spirits are of high quality spirits and no weird chemical preservatives. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">These cans contain nothing but the best spirits made from scratch at Ballast Points distillery in San Diego, California and mixed with their made on premise mixers (bloody mary mix and homemade sodas). A great way to drink easily without having to make and transport everything to your next awesome picnic!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="color: #3d85c6;">Chad the Tie Guy's Drink of the Week:</span> Absinthe has been talked about in popular culture since it was made famous from its stories of green fairies and artist cutting their ears off (think Van Gogh). However, it's cousin, Genepey Des Alpes, (also made from Wormwood, but without the nasty anise flavor) is made from handpicked herbs and spices from the Alpine mountains. Think of it as an incredibly complex Gin. When you pair this with a quality tonic and a squeeze of lime, this will cure everything from the winter blues to a broken leg from skiing (well almost everything).</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">As the holidays approach, we do so much running around and entertaining it is nice to relax and treat ourselves to a nice bottle of wine that we might not usually open. This is the second in our two part wine of the week series looking at really delicious wines that over deliver flavor for their price point. Nobody likes to be disappointed when they open an expensive bottle, so we give you tried and tested wines that we love and drink on special occasions (like finishing the holiday shopping!).</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">This wine is made by Carlos Falcó Fernandez de Córdova who has pioneered the modernization of vine growing and wine-making in Spain. In 1974, he introduced Spain to the Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot grape varieties. This was but the first step in a series of daring pioneering innovations by the man responsible for the great wines of Marques de Grinon. </span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Carlos has created a huge Cabernet Sauvignon that bursts from the glass with aromas of black cherries, wild berry fruits and sweet spices such as cinnamon, nutmeg, chocolate and tobacco. It is expansive on the palate, being full-bodied, well-structured with fine, integrated tannins, and outstanding depth.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="color: #3d85c6;">Chad the Tie Guy's Review:</span> This is a clear winner for one of the best wines we have tasted this year. Every once in a while we taste a wine that leaves a lasting impression of how delicious it was (most of these are in the upper price limits of my budget). This one was one that blew me away when I found out it was less than $50 AND it was in the Top 100 Wines of 2014. A great wine and the perfect treat for celebrating the holidays!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">This week our wine feature is in honor of our upcoming Italian classes. Last Thursday, <a href="http://www.whitehorsewine.com/proddetail.php?prod=77" target="_blank">December 3rd</a> we had our <a href="http://www.whitehorsewine.com/proddetail.php?prod=77" target="_blank">Exploring Italy class</a> followed by next Thursday's <a href="http://www.whitehorsewine.com/proddetail.php?prod=78" target="_blank">December 10th class</a>, <a href="http://www.whitehorsewine.com/proddetail.php?prod=78" target="_blank">The Wines of Allegrini</a>. If you can't make the class, at least you can enjoy some good Italian wine!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">This blend of 70% Corvina Veronese, 25% Rondinella, and 5% Sangiovese is a smooth, full-bodied cru wine made in an innovative ripasso style. After the harvest, the grapes from the Palazzo della Torre vineyard follow two different paths: 70% of the grapes are vinified immediately, while the remaining 30% are left to dry until the end of December. The fresh wine made at harvest is blended with the fermenting juice of the dried grapes. This initiates a second fermentation and renders a more highly concentrated and complex wine. Allegrini affectionately refers to Palazzo della Torre as its “baby Amarone.”</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="color: #3d85c6;">Chad the Tie Guy's Review:</span> This is one of my favorite "Baby Amarones". I love Amarone wine, but they tend to be out of my price range even for weekend wines. I always turn to this wine when I go out to a local BYOB. This way I get more bang for my buck in wine quality and taste. Drink smart!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">This week we have one of the coolest (and probably most geeky) wines we have done for our wine of the week series. This is Lambrusco, which a sparkling DRY red wine from Italy. Most of us think of Riunite Lambrusco, which is a sweet red wine (usually drank by our Grandfathers). If you love Prosecco and red wines than this is your new favorite wine that is perfect for every occasion (especially the end of a long work week)! </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">This is Tenuta Pederzana's most feminine and elegant wine, in which the freshness and vibrant fruit that one finds in the Grasparossa grape are highlighted to the full. The morello cherry note is joined by an intriguing sensation of wild strawberries and raspberries. The brief maceration at fairly low temperatures has made it ideal for drinking as an aperitif and in summer, thanks to the smoothness of its very delicate tannins which, besides, always leave the palate fresh and clean, making it ready to taste the next mouthful.</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="color: #3d85c6;">Chad the Tie Guy's Review:</span> This is one of my favorite wines to turn people on to when they want to try something new and exciting. This of the best qualities of Pinot Noir and Prosecco combined to form a dry but fruit forward sparkling wine. It's definitely not like anything you have probably had before but for $13 bucks its well worth the leap of faith. Enjoy!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">As we continue in our wine recommendations for your Thanksgiving dinner, we have a classic pairing: Pinot Noir. However, as you know we don't usually stick to the old boring "classic" wine pairings, so this one has a cool twist. This all organically farmer Pinot Noir is made in the relatively unknown Potter Valley in Mendocino County, California by an old Navy veteran who learned to love wine in the Mediterranean.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">This wine is a great Pinot Noir with lovely rich fruit flavors of cherry, cranberry and strawberry with a nice hint of sweet spices and light oak. The soft and silky tannins on this wine make it a great wine with or without food but try this one with your Thanksgiving dinner and you won't be disappointed.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">As the Thanksgiving holiday gets closer, we have another hidden gem that is perfect for pairing up with your Thanksgiving dinner. With the myriad of different flavors on the table this season from cranberry sauce and green bean casserole to gravy laden turkey it is often difficult to pick one wine that will seamlessly go with everything. This is that perfect wine from start to finish (yes, even with dessert).</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">This is a DRY Gewurztraminer from New York States famed Finger Lakes Region. Usually done in a sweet style, this wine is elegant and very aromatic. Flavor of peach, apricot, rose petal and lychee (a japanese fruit) burst forth with a clean, mineral driven finish that refreshes your palate for the next sip. This misunderstood grape is often overlooked by average consumers, but the adventurous wine drinker will be greatly rewarded for picking up a bottle of this wine for the holidays. Cheers! </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="color: #3d85c6;">Chad the Tie Guy's Review:</span> This is one of the most complex and aromatic white wines. This proves just how amazing the Finger Lakes wine growing region of New York state is. If you steer away from Rieslings and Gewurztraminers because you think they have to be sweet, then try this wine and enjoy this delicious exception to the rule.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">As the Thanksgiving holiday approaches, we offer up another one of our hidden gems that is worthy of your holiday feast. This refreshing but still flavorful wine has a lot of complexity with out making itself seem fussy or fancy. This is a great wine to great your guest with and ease the holiday tension because it is perfect by itself but it has a way of making the food it is paired with taste better. I recommend stashing a case of this one and labeling it "Holiday Survival Kit".</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">The Isle Saint-Pierre is a small island in the middle of the Rhône river. In 1927, Parisian wine merchant Pierre Chassaing founded Domaine Isle Saint-Pierre and devoted himself to cultivating vines and raising sheep. A few vines remains from that time, together with a flock of 200 sheep that provides the manure needed to nourish the vines. The proximity to the water means that the island enjoys a coastal climate (with a cooling influence from the nearby bodies of water) and deep, well draining sedimentary soils comprised of sand and silt. This allows the current winemaker to farm this island organically without the use of harsh chemicals and pesticides.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Last summer, in the Hamptons, there was a rosé shortage. People were running through the streets, screaming. There was not enough rosé. They were hoarding it in their arms … and we said, ‘never again!’” </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">That's when Instagram superstar Josh Ostrovsky (who you might know as @TheFat Jewish or maybe just the King of Brunch or Whitney Jewston or Jewther Vandross?) says he got the idea for White Girl Rosé.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">This wine is pink, however it is NOT SWEET! This DRY rose is a blend of Sauvignon Blanc and "Red" Zinfandel that is as dry as a normal Cabernet Sauvignon or Chardonnay. This wine has flavors of watermelon, strawberry and floral notes with a crisp, clean finish. This wine is perfect for fall because it is flavorful and yet refreshing, but it is available year round for those in the know!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="color: #3d85c6;">Chad the Tie Guy's Review:</span> We love dry roses because they are the best of both worlds. They have the rich, complex flavors of a red wine and the crisp, refreshing finish of a white wine. They are made the same way as a red wine but the skins are removed after a few days leaving the color and body lighter. If you have never tried a dry rose, do yourself a favor and dive right in with this kitschy complement to Thanksgiving dinner!</span></div>

The holidays are here and with them comes the endless parties, holiday food trays and dangerously delicious cookies. With all of these holiday hazards being the cause of ballooning waist lines this time of year it helps to also remember that all those drinks (yes wine included) can add to the slowly growing calorie count each day. Since the FDA does not mandate labeling of nutrition facts on the back of wine bottles we have borrowed some great information from our friends over at <a href="http://winefolly.com/" target="_blank">Wine Folly</a>.</div>

Alcohol is Very High in Calories Per Gram</div>

The highest calorie wines tend have the highest alcohol content. Alcohol has 7 calories per gram versus carbohydrates (sugar) which have 4 calories per gram. This means some sweet wines have less calories than some dry wines! Dry wines are commonly considered to range from around 11% alcohol to around 14%. However, a quick check of alcohol percentages of wines at the grocery store shows that many dry wines often exceed 15%. A standard 6 oz glass of dry wine with 15% alcohol has 175 calories.</div>

Warm regions make higher alcohol wine!</div>

<i>Wines with typically higher alcohol content come from warmer growing regions where higher sugar content in grapes converts to higher alcohol content in wine. Dry wines with typically higher alcohol percentages are Zinfandel, Amarone, Shiraz and Grenache-Syrah-Mouvedre (GSM).</i></div>
</div>
</div>
<div>
Super high alcohol sweet wines wines like Port, Tawny Port & Banyuls are a double whammy of sugar carb calories plus alcohol calories. To make Port wine, neutral grape spirits are added in order to inoculate (kill) the yeasts and leave sweetness in the wine. Port has 20% ABV and around 100 g/L of residual sugar. A standard 2oz glass of port has 103 calories.</div>

<a href="http://winefolly.com/tutorial/champagne-food-pairings/" style="color: #741717; outline-offset: -2px; outline: 0px;" title="10 Unique Champagne Food Pairings">Champagnes and sparkling wines</a> have added sugar and alcohol. The added amount is called “le dosage” and it’s added during the champagne making process. The dosage can range from nothing (aka “<a _mce_href="http://winefolly.com/review/new-years-champagne/" href="http://winefolly.com/review/new-years-champagne/" title="Class it Up: New Years Champagne">Brut Nature</a>” or “Brut Zero”) to sweet (aka “Doux”) with up to 50 g/L of sugar. The laws on the Champagne region require the wines to be no more than 12.5% alcohol, however non-Champagne bubbly ranges from very light at around 9% alcohol to high at 15%. For a standard 5 oz pour, Champagne ranges from 124 calories (Brut Zero) to 175 calories (Doux).</div>

Calories in Wine Come From Carbs and Alcohol</div>

Wine is made of mostly water, alcohol, carbohydrates and trace minerals(1). The carbohydrates come from residual sugar left in wine. Dry wines have less than 3 grams/Liter and sweet wines typically range from 20-150 g/L (some can have up to 300 g/L!). A late harvest dessert wine may have about 150 g/L of sugar compared to Coca-Cola at 111 g/L and Maple Syrup at 700 g/L(2). To determine the total calories in a wine add the calories of alcohol with the calories of carbs.</div>

<div style="background-color: #d9edf7; border-radius: 4px; border: 1px solid rgb(188, 232, 241); color: #3a87ad; font-family: rooney-web, Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 16px; font-weight: normal; line-height: 27px; margin-bottom: 27px; padding: 14px 35px 14px 14px; text-shadow: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.498039) 0px 1px 0px;">
<div>
Sweet wines like riesling and lambrusco actually have less calories per glass than most cabernet sauvignon. However you may be enticed to drink more because they are also lighter in alcohol!</div>
<div>
Even though a late harvest dessert wine like Chateau Y’quem has much more residual sugar than a can of Coca-Cola, you’re not likely to drink as much because the serving size is about six times less.</div>
<div>
<div>
If you’re on a diet, don’t despair with just one glass of wine. You can skip dessert and use the same amount of calories for 2-3 servings of dessert wine. Oh... and... I’m not your doctor, so check with him/her first if you have serious health issues. Yep!</div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">This weeks wine of the week is Orin Swift's Palermo. We chose this wine in honor of the Halloween themed label and its dark deliciousness!</span><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"> Orin Swift Wines are made by the young winemaker David Phinney and are known for their bold style, as well as their edgy labels. David Phinney is best known for creating the Prisoner, which is what put him on the map. He does not actually own any vineyards, but instead sources his grapes from growers that can provide the signature style that define all his wines.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">This wine has aromatics of cassis, currant, mulled dark fruits, and toasty oak in the glass. Opulent and rich, the wine explodes with concentrated flavors of black cherry, ripe boysenberry, assorted dark fruits, kirsch, and a top-note of dark roasted espresso. A persuasive mid palate persists with freshness and closes with supportive tannins that are velvety and polished.</span></div>

His signature style of super extracted, bold juicy fruit and high alcohol have earned him quite the cult following. A perfect treat to relax with after all the trick or treaters leave you alone! Pairs great with chocolate!!</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Our wine of the week is made from the Tempranillo grape which is indigenous to Spain. Tempranillos are big, bold dry red wines that are similar to Cabernet Sauvignon. This wine is a Crianza which refers to its age. A Crianza wine has to be aged at least 1 year in an oak barrel and then 1 more year in the bottle. This leads to a well integrated, complex wine that has a lot of vanilla, cedar and barrel spice to complement the rich fruit flavors that come from the grape itself. This wine has flavors of jammy black fruits as well as strawberry and cherry notes with a nice dry, slightly tannic finish. </span></div>

Here is one question that always seems hard to pin point even for season wine drinkers. How much sugar is in my glass of wine?<br />
<br />
<img alt="sugar-in-wine-in-teaspoons" src="http://winefolly.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/05/sugar-in-wine-in-teaspoons.png" height="308" width="400" /><br />
<br />
Wines range from 0 to about 220 grams per liter sugar, depending on the style. Dry wines can contain up to about 10 grams of sugar per bottle but still taste dry.<br />
<br />
Bone Dry less than 1 cal per glass<br />
Dry 0-6 cal per glass<br />
Off-Dry 6–21 cal per glass<br />
Sweet 21–72 cal per glass<br />
Very Sweet 72–130 cal per glass<br />
The terms above are non-official and simply show a common range in still wines. Currently, most countries (including the US) aren’t required to label actual sweetness levels in wine.<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Where Does Sugar in Wine Come From?</span><br />
<br />
The sugar in wine is called residual sugar or RS. RS doesn’t come from corn syrup or granulated sugar like you might think, it primarily comes from the fruit sugars in wine grapes (fructose and glucose). Of course, there are a few instances where cheap wine producers will use sugar or grape concentrate to sweeten a wine–all the more reason to seek out quality!<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">How come some wines are dry and some are sweet?</span><br />
Basically, when winemaking happens, yeast eats sugar and makes ethanol (alcohol) as a by-product. A dry wine is when the yeast eats all the sugars and a sweet wine is when the yeast is stopped (usually by chilling the fermentation) before it eats all the sugars. This is why some sweet wines have less alcohol that dry wines. A great example of this is German Riesling, which usually have about 8–9% ABV when sweet and 10–11% ABV when dry.<br />
<br />
<img alt="calories-in-wine-from-residual-sugar" src="http://winefolly.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/05/calories-in-wine-from-residual-sugar.png" height="640" width="460" /><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">How Does One Determine the Residual Sugar in Wine?</span><br />
<br />
The most accurate way to identify sweetness in wine is to look for a tech sheet about the wine in question. Many producers offer the technical notes on each vintage of their wine as a courtesy. RS is usually displayed in 1 of three ways: in grams/Liter, in grams/100ml, or as a percentage.<br />
<br />
Why we suck at tasting residual sugar in wine<br />
<br />
Exact levels of residual sugar are actually quite difficult to taste with our “naked tongue.” Even highly trained wine tasters often have trouble identifying RS in wine–but you can learn with practice. The main reason we can’t taste sweetness that well is because other traits in the wine, including the acidity level and tannin, distort our sensitivity to sweetness.<br />
<br />
You can test this oddity yourself by tasting plain sugar and then tasting the same portion while biting into a lemon. The acidity will cancel out all or most of the sweetness on your tongue.<br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Real-World Examples</span><br />
<br />
Several people requested a few real-world examples of red wines that contain residual sugar as examples. Here are a couple for historic reference only:<br />
<br />
<a href="http://winefolly.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/05/sweet-red-wines-cheap1-400x300.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img alt="sweet-red-wines-cheap" border="0" src="http://winefolly.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/05/sweet-red-wines-cheap1-400x300.jpg" height="150" width="200" /></a><br />
Alta Vista Classic Malbec (2013): 2.8 g/L<br />
Gnarly Head Old Vine Zinfandel: 3.4 g/L<br />
Menage a Trois California Red: 12 g/L<br />
Yellow Tail Shiraz: 12 g/L<br />
Apothic Red: 15 g/L<br />
Jam Jar Sweet Shiraz: 57 g/L<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">What if there’s no information about a wine?</span><br />
<br />
If you can’t find a technical sheet, or if the RS is not listed, here are a few tips:<br />
<br />
Cheap wine usually has residual sugar. It’s safe to assume that most affordable (sub-$10) wines from the US contain some residual sugar, perhaps anywhere from 2–15 g/L. There are, of course, excellent exceptions to this rule so look for more information first.<br />
Buy better wine. If you spend a little more on a bottle of wine, say around $15–20, producers tend to feature less residual sugar (if any at all). Grapes are higher quality so the wines don’t need sweetness to taste fruity.<br />
Drink less. Even at 15 g/L RS, a wine will only add about 7.5 sugar calories. Like with all things, your best bet might just be moderation.<br />

<br />
The warm weather is upon us and it is time to kick the grilling into high gear. The only question that remains is what wine to pair that rich, grilled food with. Now whether it is a big porterhouse or just a stuffed portabella mushroom, the same wines will apply. So here is our Top Ten BBQ Wines List:<br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.whitehorsewine.com/proddetail.php?prod=815541004956" target="_blank">#1 Il Tauro, Salice Salentino</a> $8.99<br />
One of the tricks to pairing wine with BBQ is to look for big, bold wines that are very easy drinking. This wine has deep, dark flavors of blackberry, blueberry and a nice Italian spice palate with a super, soft and silky finish. It also has a touch of sweet fruit on the finish that pairs well with BBQ sauce!<br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.whitehorsewine.com/proddetail.php?prod=184745000195" target="_blank">#2 The Velvet Devil, Merlot</a> $12.99<br />
Another rich wine that is silky soft on the finish which makes you beg for another glass. A Washington State wine that has plum, cassis and cherry flavors with just enough dry tannin to balance out the wine. A great wine that pairs well with or even without food.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.whitehorsewine.com/proddetail.php?prod=5600312190489" target="_blank">#3 Portada, Red Blend</a> $9.99<br />
This is our newest Hit of the Year being voted by popular demand as the most sought after under $10 bottle of wine. This wine is everyones favorite because it is supple and complex without any hint of pretension. A great, delicious wine that just begs to be shared with friends and a nice fire!<br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.whitehorsewine.com/proddetail.php?prod=718122972227" target="_blank">#4 30 Degrees, Cabernet Sauvignon</a> $12.98<br />
A perennial favorite around here due to it's bold flavors and soft finish. This wine come from Paso Robles where is develops some really ripe, rich fruit flavors but without the mouth puckering tannins of its neighbor to the north (Napa).<br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.whitehorsewine.com/proddetail.php?prod=9331589011301" target="_blank">#5 Mr. Blacks Little Book, Shiraz</a> $15.99<br />
Australia has been sitting on the sidelines of the wine world for a number of years after the bubble burst about ten years ago. This old producer weathered the bust by producing some of the tastiest wines coming from down under. Today this Shiraz stands out as a phenomenal wine at a great price!<br />

Some of the oldest vines in Argentina produce the best wines because of their concentrated, complex flavor that are developed in their grapes. This bold Malbec has a blast of dark fruit flavor followed by a nice punch of tannins that really shine when paired with a big, juicy piece of meat.<br />

In California, most of the really old vines planted by Spanish missionaries have been long since torn out. Those grape growers that left the Zinfandel grapes survive are now rewarded by intensely flavored wines like this one. It has juicy, jammy flavors of concentrated raspberry, blackberry and cinnamon with a backbone of sweet oak that will blow your taste buds away. A must try!<br />

This organic wine from the South of France is what they drink with Summer fare right off the grill. This blend of 40% Cabernet Franc, 40% Merlot, 10% Petit Verdot and 10% Arinarnoa is big enough to stand up to the biggest flavors while still keeping a nice balance and harmony of flavors.<br />

A stand out red blend from Spain made up of Garnacha, Carinena and Syrah have such luscious, smooth flavors that it is hard to put down. Think of blackberries and boysenberries mixed some sweet oaky spice flavors on a torrent of juicy sweetness without all the added sugar.<br />

The last but not least of our Summer picks. This blend from the South of France is classically French in style but with an American sensibility. The Grenache, Syrah and Cab give this wine a nice richness without being heavy. The hints of cedar, tobacco and baking spice make it a very cool and complex wine. A great wine that comes in one of the most fun bottles we have seen lately.Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17172598184486061653noreply@blogger.com1
