BUZZ WORD Appellation A named geographical area (as large as an entire region or as small as a vineyard) from which wine may be labeled as having come from. Regulations vary widely by country and appellation, but typically require that appellation-labeled wine be made entirely or mostly from grapes grown within the appellation's boundaries. Some appellations also regulate which grape varieties are permitted, how they are grown and harvested and how the wine is made. Prominent examples of appellation certifications include France's Appellation d'Origine Contrôlée (AOC), Italy's Denominazione di Origine Controllata (DOC) and the United States' American Viticultural Area (AVA).

Ask Dr. Vinny Q:
How can I make sure my wine is at the
right serving temperature? A: Temperature is important to consider both for storing and aging wine and for serving wine, but when it comes to wine service, you should follow your own tastes and preferences. Just keep in mind that the warmer a wine is served, the more prominent the alcohol will seem, and the colder it’s served, the more muted the flavors and aromas will become.
There are a few simple and reliable ways to track the temperature of your wine that don’t require you to literally drop a thermometer into your glass (although that works too). Flexible thermometer cuffs that fit around a wine bottle are available for as little as $10 and give a fairly accurate reading.
For a little more money—starting at around $25—an infrared thermometer can give you an exact temperature of the wine itself after it's been poured into a glass or decanter. It’s a pretty simple point-and-shoot operation that provides a digital reading of the wine’s temperature. Be sure to look for infrared thermometers specifically designed for cooking rather than those for taking the temperatures of human beings.—Dr. Vinny Have a question for Dr. Vinny? Ask it here.

Andrew and Carrie Purcell Sangiovese's flavors include cherry, plum, iron, cardamom and more. One of Italy's most prestigious grapes, Sangiovese is well-known for making the world-renowned Tuscan wines of Chianti Classico and Brunello di Montalcino, which showcase the grape's signature structured tannins, high acidity and earthy flavors. Get to know this celebrated grape!
Pinot Noir and Chardonnay aren't the only grapes permitted in Burgundy? Pinot Noir and Chardonnay are certainly the most famous, widely planted and well-known grapes of Burgundy. Generally, when someone refers to "red Burgundy" they mean Pinot Noir, and "white Burgundy" usually means Chardonnay. But other varieties are harvested in Burgundy, including Gamay in the Beaujolais region; Aligoté, a white variety that makes wines with high acidity, and Sauvignon Blanc in the small appellation of St.-Bris, near Chablis.

Using Argentine Malbec, a study from the Catena Institute of Wine found chemical evidence that the soils in which a vineyard grows leave an indelible stamp on the wine. Can terroir really be measured across vintages?
