LOGAN TWP. Just because New Jersey is known as "The Garden State," doesn't mean our farmers have only one use for their crops. New Jersey is the 5th largest producer of wines in the United States. And now, Gloucester County's third winery is set to open this weekend.

Customer Review: Review of Culinary Institute

Very large book, almost too large to read and enjoy comfortably. However, makes a good coffee table book.

Customer Review: great for a gift

So the book might be a bit too technical-tongued sometimes, or it may contain unbalanced chapters (the one about serving wine should have been either more accurate or none at all) but by all means it is a great book. Graphics and pictures are superb. I enjoyed reading it, although, as an Italian, I found the story about Italian produce a bit modest (forgive me, it's only that we have the best wines in all the world, it's a fact...). I just need to find a wine book that tells it like it is: THE BEST WINE IS THE ONE YOU LIKE, OR THE ONE YOU DRINK WITH YOUR GREAT FRIENDS. P.S. : my mom told me Mr. Mondavi, the prefator, is a relative of a relative. The world is small.

Customer Review: Great for wine lovers

A good way to remember the wines you taste; with practical information and in a very good size to take it every where

Customer Review: Oh no!

I was browsing through this little book, happily taking in all of its wine information, when I came across this little gem on page 94. "Beaujolais Nouveau is the fun party wine!....By French law, this wine must be released on the third Thursday in November--just in time for Thanksgiving--and drunk no earlier than 12:01 A.M. on that date."

While it is true that our Thanksgiving came from Europeans who were continuing the tradition of a harvest festival, Thanksgiving as we know it is a U.S. and Canadian holiday. How did this get by the book's editors. Now I wonder about the other information in the book.

This traditional wine vinegar is made from the naturally sweet wine of Banyuls which has aged in oak casks for 4 years under the Mediterranean sun. After acetification, the vinegar is then matured in barrels for 12 months which conserves part of the natural sugar from the grapes.

The subtle sweetness of Banyuls Wine Vinegar, combined with powerful and rich aromas of walnut, gingerbread, beeswax, vanilla and liquorice will add an incomparable character to your recipes. Banyuls Wine Vinegar's complex and mellow taste is a delicious addition to dressings, sauces, marinades or even desserts.

Each bottle contains 16.75 fluid ounces (500ml) of Banyuls Wine Vinegar produced by La Cave de L'Abbe Rous from France
