<br />
YES the grappe variety can help you !!!<br />
<br />
<div style="color: orange;">
<b><span style="font-size: large;">What about the grappe variety ?</span></b> (or cepage in French)</div>
<br />
All the grappe with which we make wine are from species <b>Vitis vinifera</b>, but with the time its evoluated to different varieties.<br />
<br />
Stop with the historical part we will give you some grappe varieties per Frenchareas:<br />

Hello Winners !<br />
<br />
Party is not finish, party<b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #6fa8dc;"> never finish</span></b> !!<br />
What about <b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #6fa8dc;">Epiphany</span></b> ? Have you any idea of what you can drink with Epiphany Cake ?<br />
<br />
Sparkling of course ! Bubble in your glass, always means party. So if you like <b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #6fa8dc;">champagne</span></b>, this is<b> <span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #6fa8dc;">the time</span></b> to drink it !<br />
<br />
If you want to spend less money, there are an other <b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #6fa8dc;">good drink</span></b> you can try. In Loire Valley, in France, they used the same method as in Champagne which is named <b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #6fa8dc;">"Vouvray"</span></b>. This kind of drink could be a good agreement to your Epiphany Cake.<br />
<br />
For adventurers and <b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #6fa8dc;">red wine lovers</span></b>, we can suggest you a light, thin and elegant Burgundy red wine.<br />
<br />
With the traditional frangipane twelfth night cake, we advice you to choose a <b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #6fa8dc;">sweet wine</span></b> with a touch of acidity. You can enjoy a wine based on chenin grapes. With another cake like a brioche, a<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #cccccc;"> </span><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #6fa8dc;">"</span></b><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #6fa8dc;">pinot noir"</span></b> could be clever to try. <br />
<br />
If you have any questions, we will be happy to answer !<br />
<b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #6fa8dc;">Have a good week !</span></b><br />

<b>How the wine become sparkling ?</b><br />
<br />
We will not explain all chimical detail, BUT how to create bubbles into the wine.<br />
Here are the big differences to make Champagne :<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgpWZIns8PcP7wDfhy3ECmODpzcP1hEoQy6A0iy7Rk6Eoiig4j7nbxkUAM4HMSxvoEb3zDyuTlfaWxpzMXSyIFzo_J_xFE_2c5AN3XGnb1Y8mgvWPO-9-8dj8qjRNssldoAZE1jBCCa6E8/s1600/pupitres_remuage.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="113" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgpWZIns8PcP7wDfhy3ECmODpzcP1hEoQy6A0iy7Rk6Eoiig4j7nbxkUAM4HMSxvoEb3zDyuTlfaWxpzMXSyIFzo_J_xFE_2c5AN3XGnb1Y8mgvWPO-9-8dj8qjRNssldoAZE1jBCCa6E8/s200/pupitres_remuage.jpg" width="200" /></a>1- Grappe Harvest or <i>Vendange</i><br />
2 - Pressing or <i>Pressurage</i><br />
3 - Settling of the juce or <i>Debourbage</i><br />
same for still wine THEN<br />
4 - Bottling or <i>Tirage</i><br />
Add a liqueur de tirage (sugar + yeast)<br />
5 - A alcoholic fermentation in bottle call "<i>prise de mousse</i>"<br />
6 - Bottle aging<br />
The bottle is place on a "pupitre" and riddling it often to obtain all the deposit into the bottle-neck<br />
7 - Disgorgement or <i>Degorgement</i> <br />
Take out the deposit : freeze the part with the deposit. When you open the bottle, it get ou with the pression<br />
8 -Dosage of liqueur <br />
Replace the deposit by a liqueur (wine and sugar), the quantity of sugar will define if the Champagne is brut, sec, demi sec ou doux<br />

There are different steps in wine tasting and it is important to respect each one of them.<br />
<h2>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #e69138; font-size: x-large;">Color</span></h2>
The first step for wine tasting, is to check the color of the wine in your glass. Tilt up your glass and try to say what you see.<br />
NB : As the wine mature, the color change in a natural progression from light to dark shade.<br />
<br />

A white wine with pales <span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #d9ead3;">yellow/green</span> shade is a young wine.<br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: normal;">When a wine is older it will develop a shade of <span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #f6b26b;">gold</span>. It means that the wine is richer and more complex. </span><br />

As a playful and funny way to improve your skills in wine tasting. We propose you to nose out a secret called "Le parcours olfactif" "olfactif route".

You will also learn how to detect defect from wines such as a corked wine. <br />
