Video of Tastings - St Petersberg, Florida, USA
A new wine bar
in St. Petersberg is taking tasting technical. The place is called
Tastings and with bottle after bottle lined up it's a Chardonnay
and Burgundy buffet.
Tastings has over 100 wines to choose from and some unique equipment
makes such a large selection possible. The machines keep oxygen
out of the bottles, so the wine will keep for weeks.
Patrons serve themselves using a pre-paid card and just like any
plastic, it makes shopping easy.

The trains in Italy don't always run on time, but the sleek
new wine bar in Rome's Termini railroad station may ease the pain.
Ars Bibendi ("The
Art of Drinking") offers 105 wines to taste, from great French
vintages to Super-Tuscans and little known Italian wines.
You prepay for a card worth 10, 30 or 50 euros, so you're ready
to drink whenever you travel. More bars are planned for
train stations and airports around the country; Linate Airport
in Milan, is next up.
Tasting
tour - An innovative shop offers a world of wine, shot by shot
"Wine tasting
is a funny business. A six-winery Saturday afternoon in the Napa
Valley strikes me as torture -
your comparison of the eighteenth big Cab of the day with
the second isn't worth a fig. Still, it would be nice to be able
to sip a few Cabs or Pinots side by side, to find out what you
like. Wine bars are good for this, but you generally can't take
home your favorite bottle.
So VinoVenue, a
new tasting room and shop in San Francisco, caught my attention.
There's nothing else like it in the West. Equipped with wood-and-steel
dispensers that preserve open bottles of wine with argon (an inert
gas that has no effect on the wine), VinoVenue pours more than
100 wines at a time, grouped at stations by variety or style,
from all over the world.
Is this education,
or is it entertainment? I ask Mary Lynn Slattery, VinoVenue co-owner,
with Nancy Rowland. "Both," she says quickly. "Educational fun."
It's a business proposition -
a chance to taste before you buy, to avoid investing in
a bottle you don't like." Sara Schneider, Sunset
