We would therefore like to present you with a few suggestions which may provide a little more confidence and enjoyment when choosing and serving your wines. When selecting wines, keep an open mind and do not be afraid to be adventurous. Do not view the subject of wine so seriously it discourages you from learning and discovering for fear of embarrassment if something is incorrect. Wine is best viewed as a hobby and enjoyed. When assembling your collection, try not to become obsessed with "Vintages." Although a chart can provide itself as a useful tool, generalizations about a specific year have led more than one collector to disappointment. In many instances an "off year" will provide a better value and more near term drinking enjoyment. The primary guideline to the subject of wine you need to follow is your own palate. Do not be afraid to make mistakes. Experiment, discover, but most of all, enjoy yourself and your new Wine Captain® model. 3 User's Manual SUGGESTIONS FOR MATCHING FOOD AND WINE Although there are no hard fast rules for matching wine to food, some guidelines should be observed. Delicate dishes should be accompanied by lighter more delicate wines. Full flavored foods should be matched with fuller bodied wines. As a general rule one should aim to ascend in flavor and quality of wines served. A DRY WINE Before A SWEET WINE A WHITE WINE Before A RED WINE A YOUNG WINE Before An OLD WINE A LIGHT-BODIED WINE Before A FULL-BODIED WINE Any step back in quality will be noticed. If a fine wine were to be tasted prior to a lesser wine, many of the fine wine's subtle qualities may be missed.

In excess results in an overly tart and sour wine. A desired trait where tannin, fruit and acidity are in total harmony. Wines with good balance tend to age gracefully. The weight and presence of wine in the mouth provided by the alcohol and tannin level. Full-bodied wines tend to have this strong concentration. The blending of a wine's aroma within the bottle over a period of time. Caused by volatile acidity. A subjective term often used in tasting. A wine is said to be complex if it offers a variety of flavors and scents that continue to evolve as it develops. A wine that lacks structure, or is heavy to the taste, lacks acidity. Balance: Body: Bouquet: Complex: Flabby: Full-Bodied: Wine high in alcohol and extract, generally speaking fills the mouth, powerful. Lean: Oaky: Generally wines that are slim, lacking of generosity or thin. A desirable flavor imparted to wine if done in moderation. Most wines are aged in oak barrels one to three years, thereby receiving this toasty oak characteristic. However, if a weak wine is left in contact too long with an oak barrel it will tend to be overpowered with an oaky taste. Tannins are extracted from the grape skins and stems and are necessary for a well balanced red wine. Tannins are easily identified in wine tasting as the drying sensation over the gums. Tannins generally fade as a wine ages. Tannin: 6 SAFETY PRECAUTIONS Do not attempt to install or operate your unit until you have read the safety precautions in this section.
