So there’s another annual “100 Top Wines” list on the block these days. It seems like this aspect of the wine industry gets blown out of proportion more and more every year (see the marketing ploy for the 100 from Wine Spectator this year??), but this new one is more interesting than any other, at […]
It’s nearly the holiday season, so you’re probably asking yourself an important question: Other than the wines on my WineLog wish list, what can I put on my list for Santa?
How about a Wine Tube?
An elegant and stylish wine rack tube fabricated in stainless steel and will hold 12 wine bottles. This design allows for your wines to be displayed horizontally and labels can be placed so that your collection can be seen hands-free. Wine racks come with mounting hardware included.
The folks at Wine-Wall.com sent us a wine tube, and I can confirm its elegance and ingenuity. Well, I don’t know if I would use the word “elegant”. To me, the design is more “industrial” than “Victorian”, more appropriate in a downtown loft than in grandma’s house (unless you have one of those uber-hip grandmas). Of course I mean all of this in the kindest sense. And the stainless steel rack is very chic and wouldn’t look out of place in some fancier settings.
In partnership with J.J. Buckley Fine Wines, WineLoggers can order Cakebread Cellars Cabernet Sauvignon 2004 for $53.99/bottle (that’s a 10% savings!). Buy it NOW! then log it here.
If you’re a red wine lover and haven’t already tasted it, we can assure you that the 2004 Cakebread Cellars Cabernet Sauvignon is currently listed on your wine recommendations page. It’s one of WineLog’s most active wines - both for our registered users and general site visitors.
We’ve tasted the wine and have to agree that it is an excellent selection. The WineLog community rates this wine between 4 and 5 stars! The nose is beautifully full of cedar. The first taste is somewhat mild, but additional sips give way to black cherries, subtle oak, and spicy black pepper.
The best new product inventions fill a need and are easy to explain. While Jason and I sometimes have trouble explaining our digital inventions, inventor Ed Schmidt surely suffers no such difficulty.
Ed lives in California, a state known for its fabulous wine and occasional earthquake. So, as his wine collection grew, he became troubled by the possibility of losing it all during an unexpected seismic event. He invented his first product, QuakeGuardian®, to keep wine bottles secured on their racks. The invention is easy to install: you simply anchor a metal pin into the wood of your wine rack and then slip the attached ring around the neck of the wine bottle. The product is available in a gold-tone or black finish.

That’s the combination Sweet WillYum’s owner and baker Sue Kershner suggests for a quiet evening. Personally, I think Uncle Eric’s Granola Biscotti would go just as well with a mellow wine. What would you pair with Will’s Chocolate Chip Cookies? Or Chocolate Peppermint Dr. Patti’s?
