Syrah Wines with Patrick Cappiello at Gilt

http://www.behindtheburner.com Educate yourself on the finer points of Syrah wines, an adaptable bouquet with growing popularity from Australia to Chile and round again to California, with Patrick Cappiello, Wine Director of New York's haute eatery, Gilt.

Tip: Syrah wines can be found all over the world as the grape does well in all types of climates.
Tip: Tannic Syrah wines pair well with fattier foods and gamey meats.
Technique: Store and serve Syrah wine at 50 degrees. If the wine is too warm, the alcohol starts to show.
Technique: Syrah does not require a large balloon glass. Use a smaller glass, as a glass with a larger surface area make the wine a bit overpowering.
Technique: Don't inhale the wine too deeply, sniff it as if you were smelling a rose, very delicately.
Trick: When tasting wine, spread the wine all through your mouth to see what flavors the wine has to offer. You have taste buds all over your moth, not just on your tongue.
Technique: Decanting imitates the process of aging. Immediate exposure to oxygen brings out aromas and flavors of the wine.
Tip: Find great wine varietals that stay true to traditions and seek out small producers who make wine with love. Build confidence in your palate and explore different wineries and winemakers.
