Super Moms Face Challenges TOGETHER

J.R. Guerra gives us an insightful look at wine and the culture that surrounds it.

There are 5 The Good Juice Stories Available:

• It Comes From Napa
  This month, love is in the air. With love, comes Valentine’s Day and with Valentine’s Day, comes a nice dinner (and hopefully you ladies received some diamonds!). So what should you drink with that special someone while enjoying a fantastic meal? I’ve got just the answer for you, and yes, it comes from Napa. The first wine is Cain Cuve NV6. Cain Vineyard & Winery is cradled in a spectacular bowl overlooking the Napa Valley from the crest of the Spring Mountain District.
  
  
• A Great Excuse to Try Something New- Holiday Time!
  It's always this time of year when everyone is worried about pairing wine with holiday foods. Let me just start by saying that if there is a particular wine that you love drinking with dinner, and would much rather just drink that, then by all means, do so! The right wine to pair with dinner is always one that you will enjoy.
  
  
• Screw Tops- Learn to Love ‘em
  While I wait to hear back from Mr. Chris Ringland (winemaker for R Wines), let’s discuss the screw top (something you will see on many of Ringland’s wines). Screw top wines. Love them or hate them, this trend is finally starting to win over wine drinkers. I’m pleased to finally see this, as it means I don’t have to constantly tell people the advantages of screw top bottles over the traditional cork. First of all, you’re virtually guaranteed a good seal.
  
  
• Talented Winemaker Chris Ringland / and This Weizenbock
  This month, I take us back to Australia to focus on a very special and talented winemaker, Chris Ringland. You might remember reading about everything from Marquis Philips to 3 Rings and, most recently, the FU Shiraz. Before I get into a Q&A session with Mr. Ringland, I’m going to give you a little history on my favorite winemaker.
  
  
• The Big Brewski: Savanna Dry Premium Cider
  Take a look outside at your thermometer. If it’s anything like mine, it will read “stupid hot”. It should never be so hot outside that when you turn the garden hose on, you have to wait two minutes for the water to cool from a boil. It’s times like this when even a light beer can seem heavy. Believe it or not, this is when I suggest you turn to a cider. I know, it sounds risky, but you’re just going to have to trust me on this one—because we’re not just talking about any cider here.
