Question by tom l: Is the water from the refrigerator water dispenser supposed to be room temperature?
I bought a new fridge about 3 weeks ago. Side-by-side GE and has a water and ice dispensor. The ice is working perfect but the water is room temperature. I couldn’t find any information in the manual about whether the water is supposed to be room temp or cold. I would think the water is supposed to be cold but it’s not. Is that normal? Is something wrong with the connection? Any ideas?

Alcohol can indeed be good for health such as warm the body in the cold air. But a lot happens to excess alcohol consumption to the benefit is lost.

No matter what age a person, alcohol can cause serious impact on the health and herself.

There are 10 reasons why alcohol beverage worthy shunned, namely:

Addiction is one of the most visible effect if someone is using alcohol in the long term. This means that a person should drink more before drinking or to be able to feel more relaxed.

Symptoms such as feeling sick, anxiety, irritability, vomiting, loss of appetite and feelings of shaking will be experienced when a person who tries to stop drinking suddenly or when you wake up the next day.

Alcohol use can cause chronic liver disease, such as fatty liver (more than 90 percent alcohol), as well as alcoholic hepatitis and alcoholic cirrhosis which can lead to liver failure.

Alcohol will interfere with a person’s ability to drive and slow down the thinking process. Combined these conditions cause a person had an accident after drinking alcohol.

Alcohol can reduce the ability of a person’s natural inhibition, so that people who get drunk often do dangerous things without realizing it, such as having sex without using condoms or crossing the road carelessly.

Enjoy Flavorful Red Wines Made From Merlot And Petit Verdot Grapes

Merlot grapes and Petit Verdot grapes are two of the most popular grape varieties used for producing fine quality and flavorful red wines.  However, Merlot is more popular compared to Petit Verdot.  It is cultivated in many vineyards across 24 different countries.  On the other hand, Petit Verdot is the favorite blend for red Bordeaux wines and is relatively grown in smaller quantities.  Here are some tidbits of important facts and information about these two grape varieties so you can better appreciate your red wines.

Merlot grapes can produce dry to semi dry red wines and perfect for those who want to get familiar with drier social drinks.  A Merlot red wine goes well with almost any type of meal.  This is the reason why it is one of the most common wines available in most fine dining restaurants, wine bars, and households.  Because of Merlot’s low tannin content, it is much easier to drink than other red varieties.  In case you are more accustomed to harsher red wines and you want a blend that will soften the taste, then a Merlot would be a perfect option.  Nonetheless, most wine makers can produce pure Merlot that has complex and full-bodied taste.

Red wines made from low tannin Merlot grapes are perfect with lighter foods and lighter meat.  You will be able to fully enjoy the easy drinking quality of this wine and the enhanced taste of your meal.  On the other hand, stronger foods will typically require red wines made from high tannin Merlot grapes.  This is important so as not to overwhelm the taste of your meal.  Generally, it is not advisable to pair Merlot wines with spicy foods.  The stronger spices will increase the alcohol burn of your red wine.  For best results, you should pair Merlot with most pasta dishes that have marinara and meat sauces.  The taste of Merlot is soft but has sufficient boldness which makes it perfect to compliment such foods.

Meanwhile, Petit Verdot grapes are highly valued for their deeper pigments and high acid content.  Most vineyards grow Petit Verdot in smaller quantities due to the temperamental qualities of the fruit.  Growers tend to experience difficulties in ripening the Petit Verdot grapes which pose problems during harvest seasons.  Fully ripe varieties are generally used as blends to other red wines to give them fuller and more complex taste.  It is not impossible though to find single varietal wine that is made purely from Petit Verdot grapes.  These wines have rich floral aromas, earthy taste, and slight smoky flavors.  You can safely pair a Petit Verdot red wine with pork based meals.  The slight spicy and smoky flavor of the wine makes it a perfect match for garlic-flavored foods.

So if you are looking for excellent red wines, Merlot and Petit Verdot are two of your best options.  These wines have unique full-bodied and complex taste.  It would be easier to find a pure Merlot than single varietal Petit Verdot.  However, Petit Verdot is a common blend because it adds strength and structure to the taste of other red wines.

Pair cheese with wine – Bordeaux Red Wine 1982 Chateau Saint-Andre Corbin St. Georges St Emilion from Yats Wine Cellars

The jury is out and here is the verdict of the tasting of the 1982 Chateau Saint-Andre Corbin St. Georges St Emilion from Yats Wine Cellars against these eight cheese:

 

Asiago (Young):  not bad but no major positive effects on cheese or on the wine; both retain its own personality and individuality, so no blood, match all even

:  Works well, weight match which is first condition of a good pairing, flavor and richness match also, finish balanced and harmonious.  This is a successful pairing.

Saint Paulin:  Works quite well, some synergy but probably better with a younger vintage with more body and fruit.

Gouda:  Not too bad but cheese is heavier than wine, flavors balance each other though.

Gruyere:  Weight matched nicely but cheese flavor overpowers wine, all cheese in the finish.  As a pairing, there is no synergy.

Raclette:  Works well but cheese heavier than the wine, finishes well and balanced

Provolone Canale Tonnalhe:  quite good but the flaky texture of cheese came across too much

]]>

Fontina:  Not bad, weight matches well but cheese made wine finish tart.

Yats also operates a fine-dining wine restaurant called Yats Restaruant and Wine Bar in Clark Philippines.  It is located inside the Mimosa Leisure Estate which also houses a 36-hole championship golf club called Mimosa Golf, as well as a casino.  Clark is packed with action, so wine shopping aside, there are other meaningful things to spend your time.  Yats Restaurant can cook up all sorts of gourmet meals.  The chef is from London and the maitre ‘d is from Holland.  This is certainly an international outfit. 

Wine Seminars have been conducted in the past and may be offered from time to time.  These seminars deal with intermediate to advanced subject matters that are aimed at providing useful and practical knowledge for the wine enthusiasts.  Topics are focused and treatment, in depth.  Most seminars include a guided tasting session after the lecture.  This adds “lab” experience to knowledge acquired.

 Public wine tastings are held from time to time in Clark and sometimes in Manila.  Tickets range from p500 to p1500 for these themed events that are professionally run –no wine merchants sponsorship, pushy salesmen or tacky banners to ruin the evening.  Each ticket contains a certain number of stubs that you can redeem for a tasting pour of a wine of your choice among those on a line-up.   Very often, the lineup contains wines that are quite old and expensive.  This makes YATS Wine Tasting events the most cost-effective venue to explore new options and expand our knowledge of wine through first-hand encounters.

Sister company Y A T S Restaurant and Wine Lounge is one of most wine-sensitive fine-dining establishments in Asia.  B Y O (Bring Your Own) Wine evenings occur regularly for wine enthusiasts to enjoy their recent finds over a gourmet meal specially crafted to be wine friendly.  The wine list of YATS Restaurant is equally impressive and satisfying to the hard-to-please.  Mark-up is small and that makes it the friendliest wine restaurant in Asia.
