In spirit of the Art of Wine Festival?this weekend, we decided to brush up on our wine sipping techniques!? Every aspect of drinking wine is outlined from which glasses to use with specific wines, to what food tastes best with wines and there is even a wine family tree! Luckily, we have some handy charts to help explain the vast world of wine.

Or how about that the hardest foods to match with wines are an assortment of vegetables and chocolate? Here is the breakdown of what to eat with certain wines. Review this chart before your next meal to ensure a perfect blend of food and drink!

We thought this was a fun way to show the wine family tree! Refer back to this periodic table of wine the next time you are in question of the origin and color of a specific wine.??
These tips to being a connoisseur of wine will definitely come in handy at the Art of Wine Festival events, June 13 ? 15, and tickets are still available. Join us for a fun weekend of tasting delicious wines and enjoying the finest cuisine! ?
