The post Unlocking the Secrets of Romanian Wines appeared first on foodisinthehouse.com.
]]>Romania’s winemaking tradition dates back over 6,000 years, making it one of the oldest wine regions in the world. Legend has it that Dionysus, the Greek god of wine, fell in love with the land of Dacia (present-day Romania) and bestowed upon it the gift of vineyards. Since then, winemaking has become deeply rooted in Romanian culture, blending ancient winemaking techniques with modern innovations.
Romanian wines offer a delightful spectrum of styles to satisfy every palate. Whether you prefer crisp whites, elegant reds, or luscious dessert wines, Romania has it all. Explore the refreshing and aromatic whites like Fetească Albă and Sauvignon Blanc, or indulge in the velvety reds such as Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon. And don’t forget to sample the famous sweet wines from the renowned Cotnari region, celebrated for their honeyed notes and golden hues.
Romanian winemakers have embraced modern techniques while preserving traditional practices. From small family-run wineries to large estates, they meticulously nurture the grapes, handpick the fruit, and carefully guide the winemaking process. Many producers also emphasize sustainable and organic practices, ensuring that each bottle is a true reflection of the land and the passion of the winemakers.

]]>Barkn Winery is the largest winery in Israel and has the most considerable amount of exports to America. This winery was established in 1899 by a man whose simple goal was to make wine for Friday night dinner to share with his family. His predecessor, who took over the winery, grew the business and allowed it to flourish.
Due to its growing demand, the winery moved to a different location, which was extremely costly, resulting in the winery being sold. After that, the winery grew and started exporting to America and the United Kingdom.
It is the third-largest winery in Israel and the second-leading winery in export sales. Within the region, vines have been growing for thousands and thousands of centuries. Still, it wasn’t until 1972 that a professor visited the area. He was excited about the cold climate and the altitude. He decided this was a great place to grow wine and open a winery.
It wasn’t until 1983 when the winery was officially open, as previously they sent the grapes to a different site. Ever since then, they have grown to be the third-largest winery and the second-largest exporter to America.

]]>But if we’re consuming wine, we should at least do so in style—by following the pros, that is. Travel blogger and wine enthusiast Penny Sadler is here to show you the ropes. Her online platforms offer first-hand accounts of her travels, including intimate details of tours, restaurants, hotels, and last—but certainly not least—wineries.
Recent posts include Sustainable Winemaking at Utopia Vineyards in Willamette Valley and a call to Travel Italy Through a Glass of Prosecco.
“The best vacation I’ve ever taken is usually the most recent,” shared Sadler in an interview with Travel Awaits, “because I only travel to places I am sincerely interested in. That said, I loved Alsace, France. The wines are my favorite, and the people are so lovely. I’m also crazy for Rome! I loved it from the moment I first saw it—and I always will.”
According to Sadler, there are thousands of wine grape varietals in the world, and over 3,000 Italian grape varietals.
“Are you drinking more this summer?” asked Sadler in a recent Instagram post. “Numbers show that in general, since the beginning of the pandemic, Americans are drinking more than usual. In fact, I think liquor and wine sales [are] up 35% from last year. Anyway, I’m here to help you find some new things to drink this summer.”

Don’t let the fancy French name fool you. This tasty dry wine can be bought for only $11. It pairs beautifully with goat cheese and delicate seafood like tilapia.
This $15 wine has a simple twist-off cap, making it perfect for brunches, barbecues, and picnics.
This zesty wine is only $13 and it’s absolutely perfect for summer. It has light green apple notes and a subtle, salty aftertaste.
This is the cheapest wine on the list, and quite possibly the one with the fullest flavor. It has enticing aromas of apricot and honeysuckle and it can be bought for only 10 bucks.

]]>Yes, you should spit some of the wine you taste. That’s how you won’t get drunk after a few glasses and before you even get to try everything. Be smart and save yourself for the wine(s) you like the best.
You may not even think about this, but now you know: don’t wear any perfume or cologne when headed to a winery. The smell of wine you’ll be tasting is an important component of the experience and you don’t want to ruin that for yourself or for the people around you.
There’s no strict dress code for visiting the winery, but you shouldn’t be too casual or too dressed up. Sweatpants or leggings are just lazy and a big no, but high heels are a bit too much — especially if there’s a vineyard tour, too.
