Word of the day: CREAMY 📖🍷

A wine described as creamy has that thick, smooth texture and rich mouthfeel, similar to actual cream. Nerd moment: that texture comes from the fermentation process, not the grapes themselves. Next time you taste one, think about how it coats your tongue. Round and rich, but not necessarily heavy.

Come taste exactly what that means (and more) at the ABC’s of Wine Tasting. Sunday, August 23, 3:00 to 7:00 PM at Pitch & Pour Supper Club, 1239 W. Lake St, Chicago.

Word of the day: BRIX 📖🍷

Brix (°Bx) measures the dissolved solids in a liquid based on its specific gravity, most often used to track sugar content in produce, agriculture, and winemaking. In the glass, the Brix at harvest tells you how much potential alcohol a wine can have before fermentation even starts.

Come taste exactly what that means (and more) at the ABC’s of Wine Tasting. Sunday, August 23, 3:00 to 7:00 PM at Pitch & Pour Supper Club, 1239 W. Lake St, Chicago.

Word of the day: AMPLE 📖🍷

In wine terms, “ample” describes how generous a wine feels in the mouth, in addition to the WEIGHT ‘Light, Medium, Heavy’.

A wine can be light and ample at the same time, plenty of flavor without heaviness on the palate.
