Founded in 1972, Rutherford Hill Winery
is a pioneer in the development of California Merlot. The grape growers who founded Rutherford Hill carefully studied the geography of the region and capitalized on climate and soil conditions that resembled those of Pomerol, the small but distinctive Merlot-growing region of Bordeaux. And what a promising discovery that was – one that has borne plenty of fruit – specifically, the lush, purple-black grapes that have contributed so much to Rutherford Hill’s success. Today, Merlot remains the flagship wine of the company with 75 percent of Rutherford Hill’s production dedicated to this varietal, one of the leading Merlots of Napa Valley.

When the Terlato family of the Terlato Wine Group (TWG), Lake Bluff, Illinois, purchased the winery in 1996, they immediately began to apply their guiding principle: Quality is a way of life. The pursuit of excellence began with a comprehensive review of all aspects of the facility that resulted in significant enhancements.

TWG Chairman Anthony Terlato works with Rutherford Hill winemakers to tackle the challenges of consistently improving the wine, vintage after vintage. The philosophy that the Terlatos apply to all their ventures was evident at Rutherford Hill from the start. Their first step was to reduce production by 14,000 cases. This eliminated inferior lots from the final blend, and met the demanding new quality standard they had set.

Building on Tradition
Another way of putting quality first was to create an environment in which reserve wines could be given the time, care and consideration they needed within the Rutherford Hill portfolio. A new state-of-the art facility for the production of reserve wines – a “winery within a winery” – began taking shape in spring of 2000 and was functional in time for that year’s harvest. Costing more than million, the 5,100-square foot winery addition has 24 fermentation tanks ranging from 1,500 to 6,000 gallons. It is self-contained, complete with its own crusher/de-stemmer, press, refrigeration capabilities (tanks are jacketed for both warming and cooling glycol) and harvest crew.

Rutherford Hill was an innovator in Napa Valley in the building of caves and employment of a pallet-stacking system within those caves. Year-round, 8,000 wine-filled French and American oak barrels age in an ideal wine-storage environment of 59ºF/90 percent humidity. The result is a substantial reduction in wine evaporation, creating wines with lower concentrations of alcohol. The improvements in the caves that began in 1999 illustrate the big-picture view that embodies the Terlato family’s commitment to quality. Year-round, 8,000 French and American oak barrels age wine in an ideal, consistent storage environment of 59ºF, and up to 90 percent humidity.

Looking Toward the Future
A substantial investment has been made in purchasing vineyards and in new long-term contracts with growers representing some of Napa Valley’s finest vineyards. These actions will help contribute to Rutherford Hill’s ongoing pledge of excellence.

A quarter-century after Rutherford Hill was founded, the pioneering spirit that created it perseveres. Armed with their extensive wine industry experience, the Terlato Family continues to invest in future quality.

A high end kitchen is made for more than just intense cooking. A really great kitchen can cook up serious meals as well as comfortably contain your family while they eat dinner. Here are some tips about the major kitchen appliances and setups you need in order to have the kitchen of your dreams.

1. Sub Zero Appliances: Your refrigerator is a crucial aspect of your kitchen. The best brand for these major kitchen appliances is Sub Zero appliances. These bad boys can blend right into your cabinetry, hold more food in the refrigerator and freezer areas, and generally keep your food fresher and better preserved, thanks to their dual-refrigeration technology. They are bigger and heavier than normal discount kitchen appliances, however, so be prepared.

2. Wine Sub Zero Appliances: You will also like Sub Zero’s wine cooler. Right underneath your counter, the cooler has two temperature zones, one for red wines, and the other for whites.

3. Wolf Gas Ranges: These professional gas ranges also compete with Viking gas ranges for who can fry up the best egg. You want a hood also, to suck up all the gas and grease given off while you cook. If you don’t have a hood, the grease winds up sticking to your walls. Many range hoods have backsplash panels and pot racks, so choose according to your desires.

4. If you don’t have an island already, it may be time to invest in one. Not only do they make your kitchen look great due to the color and texture from the slab of granite or marble, but they are also highly functional as well. Some islands have sinks, cabinets and seating, which are perfect for bar stools and quick snacking. And at the very least they serve as counter space.

5. Cooking Supplies: If you don’t already have a cheese knife or a nutcracker, now is the time to invest. If you’re going to get serious about cooking, you should have the right tools for the job. For example, if you need to carve meat, you need a special carving knife. If you want to mince garlic, a garlic mincer helps a lot. And if you’re going to eat ice cream, an ice cream scoop is a necessity.

6. Kitchen table: What’s a kitchen without a place to sit down and enjoy? You can’t eat breakfast in your dining room, that’s just silly. A nice round glass or stone kitchen table is a great way to maintain elegance and class in your kitchen, without making anyone feel bad about sitting off to a side.

With these six aspects of your kitchen covered, you will have a kitchen any ordinary person would envy. All that’s left is to learn how to cook.

You know, you need a proper storage system to keep your collection of wines. You need it to keep the quality intact. You can set up a full fledged walk in cellar or you can just go for built in units like coolers, wine & beverage refrigerators, cabinets or chillers. There are hundreds of brands, market their units by different names.

If you have decided to buy one and having difficulties to choose the correct one for you, the best thing will be to study some reviews on different brands. Where to find those reviews! Well, one place you can check is Amazon. Reviews there are from real customers. Who already have purchased and used the model in question. You can find both positive and negative reviews on a model there. But one thing you have to keep in mind that a single review heavily criticizing a model does not mean that the model is unusable. It is possible that one user of the model found it difficult to use, sent in a review and 99 other users are satisfied by the model but never cared to post a positive review. So you must not be deceived by a single positive or negative review.

I have a wine cooler review site. So I have to keep an eye open for other sites, who is doing better. In my opinion one of the best wine cooler review site is Winecoolerexpert. No, it is not my site. I don’t know who it belongs to and it does not matter to me. I didn’t care to check the sites Whois. But whoever it is, the guy did an excellent job in terms of the quality and quantity of wine cooler reviews.

In this site you will find reviews of almost all the popular brands and models of the market. With complete dimensions, descriptions and pictures. It would be easier to pick the correct one from here with so many options they are providing.

For people who collect and enjoy red wine, making sure that the bottles are stored properly is very important. Here are a few simple tips that will help you with red wine storage, which will allow you to keep your red wine in top condition, making it possible to enjoy your favorite wine whenever you like.

One of the most important things to keep in mind about proper red wine storage is that the temperature of the area is very important. The trick is to make sure the range of temperature remains in a constant and comfortable range. Failure to maintain a proper temperature will mean that the wine will lose its flavor more quickly, and also begin to lose the attractive bouquet that makes drinking wine such a pleasant event. While the correct temperature for wine varies from one type to another, it is pretty safe to say that red wine does best with a constant temperature of fifty to fifty-five degrees Fahrenheit.

Along with the temperature, humidity control is also key to proper red wine storage. If the rate of humidity in the surrounding air is high, there is an increased chance of mold growing, which can damage corks, overtake labels, and even weaken the wood portions of the storage area. Along with these issues, it also makes it somewhat of a health risk to go into the area and select a wine, since you would be breathing in the mold. If you live in an area where there is a high degree of humidity during the year, set up a de-humidifier and keep it running.

Red wine does well when stored in a cool dark place. Try to limit the amount of light that the wine will be exposed to especially natural light which is the worst enemy for either red or white wines. Ultraviolet light will eventually ruin wine, which is why some wines are bottled in dark colored glass.

One of the easiest ways to store red wine is to find a closet in the house that is cool, dark but not damp or musty. You also want to prevent the wine from getting exposed to mold. Also most wine enthusiasts recommend storing wine on its side. This keeps the cork in contact with the wine and prevents air from getting into it.

Last, you may want to consider the purchase of a wine refrigerator, if no space in your home can be successfully adapted for red wine storage. The refrigerator can be set at the ideal temperature, will keep the humidity level at a comfortable level, and essentially makes it possible to store your favorite wine in any room of the house that is convenient for you. All you need is a little space for the unit and an electrical outlet.

Red Wine Storage Tips – What you Should Know About Storing your Red Wines is from Quickly Learn Wine

With most homes becoming short on space, adding a metal wine rack that hangs from your wall or ceiling makes all the difference. You now have storage space for your treasured bottles of wine as well as an aesthetic appeal. These wall racks provide us with three separate functions such as wine storage, visual decor and open work space facilitation. A wine rack is to wine as hands are to arms. They are an extension and a useful tool for your wine collection.

Metal wine racks are a sensible decision when selecting a good way to store and protect your wine collection. The very nature of the metal makes them durable, sturdy and long lasting. Since the material is metal it is often twisted into sculptures or designs unobtainable by traditional wood wine racks. These designs are then forged at high heats so the wine rack metal is almost indestructible. It requires minimal cleaning just soap and water and can be polished or dulled depending on the owners desires. They are always artistic in design and a great conversation piece. Most home owners display them prominently around the home for visual appreciation and pleasure.

Adding one to a residence can heighten the homes value and distinguish it from other homes. It can also help keep wine fresh, undisturbed and easy to access when you need it. Wine lovers will find these racks appealing and fairly priced regardless of the choice of rack.

Wall mounted metal wine racks are perfect when space is at a premium or when you wish to display a special collection above a buffet or side table. They are designed to provide the required bottle tilt for cork protection and most feature a no-roll shelving for stability. They all offer endless possibilities in terms of style and versatility.

In my dinning room I created a dramatic focal point that incorporated additional pieces of metal art work. I chose two pieces of metal art work of similar color and texture from my wine rack and mounted them on both sides of the display. It looked exceptionally impressive and everyone that sees it comments on the beauty and artistic flow of the room.

Wrought iron wine racks are some of the most traditional metal wine racks. They can be simple and elegant with straight clean lines or gracefully curvy. Wine racks made from chrome or steel are perfect for modern decor.

Solid in its construction metal, wine racks will hold the weight of several wine bottles with ease and provide a visual creative conversation piece. A popular spot for a metal wine rack has become over a kitchen island where it can stay out of the way but still adds drama to the room. Because of its highly skilled design and craftsmanship you will be looking to show off this piece just as much as your wine collection.

Wine racks are offered in a wide variety of styles, shapes and dimensions to fit just about anyone’s specifications and decor style. They are available in a plethora of sizes to hold from one bottle to hundreds of bottles.

A very important part of choosing a wine rack is the way the bottles are placed. Only choose one that will hold the bottles in a downward position. This is an important feature since wine should be stored with the neck pointing down in an effort to keep the cork from drying out and allowing air to permeate the bottle.

Some pieces have artfully crafted shaped vines that hold bottles in their proper position not only for decorative purposes but for functional attributes. This feature is ideal for choosing high quality racks.

Genuine metal wine racks make their best impression if presented in their natural color or in colors of artificially oxidized patina surface. The highest value of metal wine racks lies in its ability to keep its beauty for centuries, and not becoming a victim of daily trends.

You must ensure that the wall mounted metal wine wrack hanging from your wall is safely anchored into studs. What is important to consider is the weight the rack can safely carry. You do not want the weight of the bottles to pull it from the wall. It would be most devastating to find your wine bottles shattered on the floor.

This decorative accessory allows you to be surrounded by elegance and gives you the security to age your collection with confidence. So now let’s all raise our glass and make a toast to the perfect wine rack!
