As a general guideline, a glass with a narrower opening will accentuate the flavors of a white wine whereas a rounder, wider glass is better suited for a red. That said, serve your wines in whatever glass you prefer or have available – the focus should be on the wine and not the glass.

Serve as many different wines, or varietals, as you’d like. The more wines you try, the more wine savvy you will become. Be sure to offer both whites and reds. If you’d like more information on the various Vendange wines, check out Our Wines section for all of the tasting notes.

A general rule is that rich, heavy wines go well with heavier foods and lighter wines go well with lighter foods. Experiment with different food and wine pairings to find your favorites. For more information on pairing, check out our Food & Wine section. Or, visit our Recipes and Featured Wine sections for delicious recipes to pair with Vendange wines.

To make sure you have enough wine for your get-together, a general rule to follow is that one bottle (750mL) of wine serves between 4-5 glasses. A few extra bottles is better than running out. Make sure you check out our Storing Wine section for helpful hints on properly storing leftover wine.

Wine is highly sensitive to light, air and heat. We recommend all wines be stored in a cool, dark area away from sun, fluorescent light, extreme temperature changes and constant vibration. Optimum storage temperature for a table wine is 53-59°F.

Once opened, wine should be refrigerated to maintain its flavor and freshness. Most wines can be consumed up to 3-4 days after opening. Bring red wines to room temperature prior to serving.
