Rapid City, South Dakota (PRWEB) February 21, 2012
With a history of providing luxury and innovation reaching back to the roaring twenties, the Alex Johnson hotel is revolutionizing the city skyline by changing both where and the way wine is being served with the introduction of the WineStation intelligent preservation and dispensing system. “We are excited to offer our guests a chance to experience an assortment of High-End wines,” said Caleb Arceneaux, CEO at ISIS Hospitality, LLC
The 8-bottle WineStation system located in both Vertex Sky Bar and Paddy O?Neill?s Pub will allow guests to sample high end varietals seldom poured by the glass, in the pristine and temperature controlled environment that the wine maker intended.
The WineStation provides guests the ability to experience a range of featured wines in taste (1 oz), half (3 oz) or full glass (6 oz) options. Unique and high end wines such as a 2006 Dunham, 2006 Cabernet Sauvignon and a 2006 Silver Oak Alexander Valley, are now available by the glass.
?Our guests are growing more and more discerning about their wines and requesting unique and high-end wines to try by the glass,? said Jim, Fahey, Director of Food & Beverage. ?We needed the most effective, intelligent wine preservation system that would allow us to provide the smartest glass of wine every time.? Fahey continues, ?If our guests have discerning palates or are just beginning to develop their appreciation for fine wines, the WineStation will let them explore a wide variety of new and unique tastes.?
As guests cut back on ordering bottles, wines by the glass across the country are catching up to bottle sales because a glass provides the restaurant guest with more opportunity to explore higher priced wines, or indulge in small doses. For the Alex Johnson Hotel, it is an opportunity to manage inventories while reducing waste.
?A robust wine by the glass list can help restaurants increase revenue by allowing the consumer to taste a higher priced wine that might be cost prohibitive by the bottle,? said Nick Moezidis, VP of Sales for Napa Technology. ?A wine preservation system like the WineStation is imperative for any property that wants to have a competitive and cost effective wine program.?

Napa Technology is the designer and manufacturer of WineStation, an innovative Intelligent Dispensing Solution. WineStation is a breakthrough product designed to drive revenues and maximize the profitability of each bottle. WineStation has been adopted by the hospitality, entertainment, arena and food service industries as an improved way to serve, preserve, increase sales and capitalize on available customer preference data.

Eating Your Words: 2000 Words To Tease Your Taste Buds
Here is a feast of words that will whet the appetite of food and word lovers everywhere. William Grimes, former restaurant critic for The New York Times, covers everything from bird’s nest soup to Trockenbeerenauslese in this wonderfully informative food lexicon. Eating Your Words is a veritable cornucopia—a thousand-and-one entries on candies and desserts, fruits and vegetables, meats, seafood, spices, herbs, wines, cheeses, liqueurs, cocktails, sauces, dressings, and pastas. The book includes terms from around the world (basmati, kimchi, haggis, callaloo) and from around the block (meatloaf, slim jims, Philly cheesesteak). Grimes describes utensils (from tandoor and wok to slotted spoon and zester), cooking styles (a bonne femme, over easy), cuts of meat (crown roast, prime rib), and much more. Each definition includes a pronunciation guide and many entries indicate the origin of the word. Thus we learn that olla podrida is Spanish for ‘rotten pot’ and mulligatawny comes from the Tamil words milaku-tanni, meaning ‘pepper water.’ Grimes includes helpful tips on usage, such as when to write whiskey and when to write whisky. In addition, there are more than a dozen special sidebars on food and food word topics—everything from diner slang to bad fad diets—plus a time line of food trends by decade and a list of the best regional snack foods. Even if you don’t know a summer sausage from a spring chicken, you will find Eating Your Words a delectable treat. And for everyone who loves to cook, this superb volume is an essential resource—and the perfect gift.

Scotch Whisky, How Do You Drink Yours?
Scotch Whisky experts describe the ?sunshine drink?, as it is sometimes called, in terms of its colour, nose, body, palate and finish. Colour may be anything from pale gold, right through to dark caramel brown and the ?nose? (aroma) , varies according to whether it has been smoked, the water used and the area from which the water comes. Body is the ?kick? the drink gives you when you taste it. The palate is the taste on the tongue and the finish is the flavour it leaves you with. This is rather like tasting wine but whisky connoisseurs would say that it is a much more difficult and specialised art.
There are in fact more than a hundred different chemicals, from just four ingredients: barley, water, yeast and caramel (for colouring.) It is the subtle combination of these chemicals that gives Scotch Whisky its diverse flavours and varieties. The law sets out the ingredients that may be used in the distilling process so they do not vary, but it is differences in manufacturing process and the way that the finished product is matured that makes the difference.
The process of making whisky has remained the same for hundreds of year. It consists of soaking the grain (malting) in water and then drying it. Then yeast is added and after three days the liquid is distilled in copper vats. After this it is matured in oak casks while are usually old ones which have already been used to age American Bourbon, or Sherry. The used casks are preferred because the vanillin in the oak, which is the same chemical that gives vanilla pods their aroma, flavours the spirit and used casks give a less pungent aroma and taste.
When the whisky is mature it is blended and mixed to its regulated 40% proof standard. Different malt whiskies may be blended but the finished product is dated by the youngest malt in the blend.
Adding water, or other mixers to whisky changes the flavour but experts only add water to certain blends, because this changes the chemistry of the spirit and makes it taste different. Water makes the spirit more volatile and it releases a fruity aroma, but if you add ice to the mix the aroma will have less effect on how the spirit tastes. Those who like the strong, peaty fragrance of a good malt, may prefer to drink it neat.
It?s all a matter of personal taste.
