Wine, especially chilled white wine, tastes best at the temperature it was originally served. If you hold the glass by the bowl, the heat from your hand will change the temperature—and the taste. So hold your wine glass by the stem. What’s up with Stemless Wine Glasses? Stemless wine glasses are the newest trend in the wine world. While some may disagree with the idea, it was pioneered by Riedel, the world’s foremost stemware designer. Stemless wine glasses are best used for less formal oc- casions, such as outdoor parties or just relaxing in a hot bath. Try serving red wine in a stemless wine glass, since it is less depen- dent on temperature. 6 www.northcoastvoice.com • (440) 415-0999 July 21 - August 4, 2010 Red-Wine Spaghetti with Broccoli 1 3/4 lb broccoli, thick stems discarded 1 lb spaghetti 1 (750-ml) bottle red wine 1 teaspoon sugar 4 garlic cloves, fi nely chopped (2 tablespoons) 1/2 teaspoon dried hot red pepper fl akes Winery, Bed & Breakfast 1/3 cup extra-virgin olive oil %IL?0>Y!IHH?;ON 3/4 teaspoon salt 440-593-5976 1/2 teaspoon black pepper 1 oz fi nely grated Parmigiano-Reggiano (1/2 cup) OUR PATIO IS OPEN FOR YOU!
