4 Steps: Wine Tasting
By James Raiswell
Stress Management Specialist - Every Monday
It’s every sophisticated guy’s worst nightmare: He's on a date having a fancy dinner; he tries to impress her by ordering what he thinks is a nice bottle of wine, but when the waiter arrives and pours him a small sample, he's quickly exposed as a fraud. He knows nothing about wine tasting.
There’s no need to fake your way out of this one. Follow our four simple steps to wine tasting and you’ll be sipping it like a pro in no time.
Of course, once you know all there is to know about wine tasting, you’ll understand what makes a good and bad wine, and you’ll get to use your powers for good. Don’t send back any wine just because you don’t like its taste. Rather, send back only the ones that don’t smell right or that taste as though they’ve been hanging around for more than a couple of days.
*step 1
Evaluate its appearance
The first thing a professional wine taster does is check the color of the wine. How a wine looks can say an awful lot about the quality and origin of the drink.
The first thing you want to do when wine tasting is contrast the wine’s color against a white background (the tablecloth or a napkin will do). Tilt your glass slightly and take note of the color and intensity of the wine.
Most red wines that haven’t been aged start as a deep purple color. As red wine ages, it loses that intensity and becomes paler, like a brick color. The color of a red wine will also yield a bit of information about the kind of grape used. Pinot Noir, for example, tends to be paler than most.
The color test also works for white wines, whose colors tend to deepen as they age. Moreover, whites from cooler climates aren’t usually as richly colored as those from warmer climates.
After checking the color, give the wine a quick swirl around the glass to check its legs -- the oily film that hangs around the inside of the glass after the wine is swirled. There is some argument that the longer the legs stay on the side of the glass, the better the quality of the bottle. In fact, that’s a myth. Legs are only an indicator of alcohol content -- more legs mean more alcohol.
*step 2
Check bouquet
When wine tasting, the next thing to check is the smell of the wine, or its bouquet. Give the wine another gentle swirl around the glass to expose more of it to the air. As the wine settles in the glass, stick your nose into the glass and take a full sniff.
Think about the smells coming up from the glass: Young wines will tend to have fruity smells (notes of raspberry or citrus, for example), while older ones will have more complex fragrances (earthy aromas like oak or grass).
Don’t be shy about smelling it more than once to see if you like what you smell. If you do, chances are that it will be a good bottle.
You’re not done wine tasting just yet…
*step 3
Pay attention to the taste
As you (finally!) begin to taste the wine, be cognizant of the fact that very little of the actual taste of wine comes from the sensation on your tongue. You’ll pick up more flavor from the wine by swishing it around in your mouth and paying special attention to the sensations and tastes in the back of your throat.
When wine tasting, slurp the wine slightly to release all its flavors in your mouth. That’s not to suggest you haul back on it like an 8-year-old eating cereal, but a gentle slurp as you take in the wine will go a long way toward properly enhancing the taste.
As it enters your mouth, think about the weight and body of the wine: Is it rich and heavy or light and thin? Think about the tastes you notice and ask yourself if this bottle will go well with your meal. If your main meal is steak and the bottle is light and fruity, you may want to consider a different bottle. Be sure to think about how the taste of the wine changes as it warms up in your mouth. All wines take a few moments to fully develop their flavor once they’re out of the bottle, and they will do the same in your mouth.
*step 4
Evaluate the finish of the wine
The finish is the sensation you get from actually swallowing the wine and it can be very different from the taste you get on your palate.
What you want to look for is an alcohol taste (there shouldn’t be one) and the length of time the wine taste stays with you. This length of time is called the finish and some wines can linger for as long as a minute. Also consider the balance of the wine; do any tastes dominate, or is this a well-defined bottle?
Generally speaking, the longer the finish, the better the wine.

7 Foods to Keep You Young
WebMD Feature from "EatingWell"
By Peter Jaret
Secrets of long life from around the world
1: Olive oil
Four decades ago, researchers from the Seven Countries Study concluded that the monounsaturated fats in olive oil were largely responsible for the low rates of heart disease and cancer on the Greek island of Crete. Now we know that olive oil also contains polyphenols, powerful antioxidants that may help prevent age-related diseases.
2: Yogurt
In the 1970s, Soviet Georgia was rumored to have more centenarians per capita than any other country. Reports at the time claimed that the secret of their long lives was yogurt, a food ubiquitous in their diets. While the age-defying powers of yogurt never have been proved directly, yogurt is rich in calcium, which helps stave off osteoporosis and contains “good bacteria” that help maintain gut health and diminish the incidence of age-related intestinal illness.
3: Fish
Thirty years ago, researchers began to study why the native Inuits of Alaska were remarkably free of heart disease. The reason, scientists now think, is the extraordinary amount of fish they consume. Fish is an abundant source of omega-3 fats, which help prevent cholesterol buildup in arteries and protect against abnormal heart rhythms.
4: Chocolate
The Kuna people of the San Blas islands, off the coast of Panama, have a rate of heart disease that is nine times less than that of mainland Panamanians. The reason? The Kuna drink plenty of a beverage made with generous proportions of cocoa, which is unusually rich in flavanols that help preserve the healthy function of blood vessels. Maintaining youthful blood vessels lowers risk of high blood pressure, type 2 diabetes, kidney disease and dementia.
5: Nuts
Studies of Seventh-Day Adventists (a religious denomination that emphasizes healthy living and a vegetarian diet) show that those who eat nuts gain, on average, an extra two and a half years. Nuts are rich sources of unsaturated fats, so they offer benefits similar to those associated with olive oil. They’re also concentrated sources of vitamins, minerals and other phytochemicals, including antioxidants.
6: Wine
Drinking alcohol in moderation protects against heart disease, diabetes and age-related memory loss. Any kind of alcoholic beverage seems to provide such benefits, but red wine has been the focus of much of the research. Red wine contains resveratrol, a compound that likely contributes to its benefits—and, according to animal studies, may activate genes that slow cellular aging.
7: Blueberries
In a landmark study published in 1999, researchers at Tufts University’s Jean Mayer Human Nutrition Research Center on Aging fed rats blueberry extract for a period of time that in “rat lives” is equivalent to 10 human years. These rats outperformed rats fed regular chow on tests of balance and coordination when they reached old age. Compounds in blueberries (and other berries) mitigate inflammation and oxidative damage, which are associated with age-related deficits in memory and motor function.

Now we know that olive oil also contains polyphenols, powerful antioxidants that may help prevent age-related diseases.
2: Yogurt
In the 1970s, Soviet Georgia was rumored to have more centenarians per capita than any other country. Reports at the time claimed that the secret of their long lives was yogurt, a food ubiquitous in their diets. While the age-defying powers of yogurt never have been proved directly, yogurt is rich in calcium, which helps stave off osteoporosis and contains “good bacteria” that help maintain gut health and diminish the incidence of age-related intestinal illness.
3: Fish
Thirty years ago, researchers began to study why the native Inuits of Alaska were remarkably free of heart disease. The reason, scientists now think, is the extraordinary amount of fish they consume. Fish is an abundant source of omega-3 fats, which help prevent cholesterol buildup in arteries and protect against abnormal heart rhythms.
4: Chocolate
The Kuna people of the San Blas islands, off the coast of Panama, have a rate of heart disease that is nine times less than that of mainland Panamanians. The reason? The Kuna drink plenty of a beverage made with generous proportions of cocoa, which is unusually rich in flavanols that help preserve the healthy function of blood vessels. Maintaining youthful blood vessels lowers risk of high blood pressure, type 2 diabetes, kidney disease and dementia.
5: Nuts
Studies of Seventh-Day Adventists (a religious denomination that emphasizes healthy living and a vegetarian diet) show that those who eat nuts gain, on average, an extra two and a half years. Nuts are rich sources of unsaturated fats, so they offer benefits similar to those associated with olive oil. They’re also concentrated sources of vitamins, minerals and other phytochemicals, including antioxidants.
6: Wine
Drinking alcohol in moderation protects against heart disease, diabetes and age-related memory loss. Any kind of alcoholic beverage seems to provide such benefits, but red wine has been the focus of much of the research. Red wine contains resveratrol, a compound that likely contributes to its benefits—and, according to animal studies, may activate genes that slow cellular aging.
7: Blueberries
In a landmark study published in 1999, researchers at Tufts University’s Jean Mayer Human Nutrition Research Center on Aging fed rats blueberry extract for a period of time that in “rat lives” is equivalent to 10 human years. These rats outperformed rats fed regular chow on tests of balance and coordination when they reached old age. Compounds in blueberries (and other berries) mitigate inflammation and oxidative damage, which are associated with age-related deficits in memory and motor function.

Meet the 5 Flat Belly Foods
WebMD Feature from "Prevention" Magazine
These ingredients hold the power to truly transform your body, not to mention lengthen your life. The secret is their magical "MUFA" (Aka good fat!)
To the ancient Greeks, olive oil was liquid gold. For the Aztecs, chocolate was sacred. Almonds were prized by Egypt's pharaohs, and avocados have symbolized fertility for centuries. These can't-live-without-'em foods share more than history; they also share unique health properties. They're packed with monounsaturated fatty acids (also known as MUFAs, pronounced MOO-fahs), those good-for-you fats that protect you from chronic disease and, according to new research, can help you lose fat, specifically around your middle. That's why they're at the heart of the Flat Belly Diet.
There are five major categories of MUFAs: (1) oils, (2) nuts and seeds, (3) avocado, (4) olives, and (5) chocolate. Eating one serving of any of these foods at every meal will help reduce your accumulation of dangerous belly fat; control your calorie intake and you'll lose inches and pounds, too--especially around your waistline. These mouth-watering recipes make it easy. Each portion contains high levels of MUFA, plus serving suggestions that allow you to create a meal that contains around 400 calories--enough to control your hunger and boost your energy without exceeding your daily needs. You can easily fit these meals into the Flat Belly Diet menu plans, but even if you're not following the diet, you can still enjoy the rich flavor of MUFAs and their numerous health benefits. For centuries, these foods and fats have been hard to resist

"I Think Of You"
When I'm down and all alone
When nothing seems to matter
When I lose my hope
When I'm sad and confused
When it all gets turned around and 'round
I can't seem to reach for solid ground
When everything I've believed in seems untrue
All I have to do
[Chorus]
Is think of you
I think of you and it's gone
Like you chase away the storm
Making it all okay
I think of you
I think of you and I'm strong
And I know I can go on
It's like you set me free
When life gets the best of me
I just think of you
Now I know what love means
And whatever life may hold for me
Through the fire
Through the rain I believe
Cause there's nothing I can't bear
Knowing that you will be there
If I fall I won't break
Through it all I'll make it through
Cause all I have to do
[Chorus]
And when I think I'm all alone
I can't see the way to go
Lost in the rain of my own tears
To wash away the pain and fear
[Chorus]
For the good times and the bad times
I just think of you
Cause you know you get the best of me
I just think of you
When nothing seems to matter
When I lose my hope
When I'm sad and confused
When it all gets turned around and 'round
I can't seem to reach for solid ground
When everything I've believed in seems untrue
All I have to do
[Chorus]
Is think of you
I think of you and it's gone
Like you chase away the storm
Making it all okay
I think of you
I think of you and I'm strong
And I know I can go on
It's like you set me free
When life gets the best of me
I just think of you
Now I know what love means
And whatever life may hold for me
Through the fire
Through the rain I believe
Cause there's nothing I can't bear
Knowing that you will be there
If I fall I won't break
Through it all I'll make it through
Cause all I have to do
[Chorus]
And when I think I'm all alone
I can't see the way to go
Lost in the rain of my own tears
To wash away the pain and fear
[Chorus]
For the good times and the bad times
I just think of you
Cause you know you get the best of me
I just think of you
