I Love Italian Food and Wine - The Umbria Region
Umbria lies smack dab in the middle of Italy. The countryside is unspoiled and dotted with medieval churches. Its fairly gentle terrain is composed of hills, valleys, and small mountains. Umbria is the only region of Italy with neither a seacoast nor a foreign border. But it has lakes, rivers, and even a waterfall. It is known as the green valley of Italy. In spite of this name, until a few decades ago Umbria kept losing population to the more highly industrial north. Its total population is about 830 thousand.

The Bests Of Red Wines Revealed!
During the 1990s, a physician voiced on a national TV show that drinking red wine reduces heart disease. It made all the headlines. He cited the relatively lower levels of the disease in France despite their ever so famously high fat diets. Since that program, it seems that red wine health effects have been on the forefront of the wine consumer?s mind.
You don't know what to get for your next dinner party and the perfect food to go with your chosen bottle? Then it is high time that you learn the best kinds of red wines that are readily made available on the market.
Basically, red wines are one classification of wines according to style. The other type of wine according to style is the white wine. Red wines are generally made from grapes. They are either made from one or more selection of European type of grapes known as ?vitis vinifera.? Learn the art of Wine Tasting
In most cases, red wines are further classified into kinds of grape selections. For instance, there are red wines that use one variety of grapes as the main ingredient. In this case, the mixture becomes varietal, which means that a particular red wine was made from a single variety of grapes.
Many studies suggested that moderate amount of red wine (one to two glasses a day) lowers the risk of heart attack for middle aged people by 30 to 50 percent. It was also concluded that red wine may prevent additional heart attacks if you have already suffered from one.
Classifying red wines can be very complicated. However, for those who wish to get a first hand note on the best red wines that are available on the market today, here is a list that could help you choose the best red wine for your next dinner party:
1. George Dubroff Morgon
Made in the famous Beaujolais region of burgundy, this is the only ?Cru du Neaujolais? that has been coined with the term ?morgonner? to specify a certain style of wine. Young Morgon wines are soft, fruity, and easy to drink.
This kind of red wine will complement almost any dish.
2. Gran Tierra Red
This type of red wine is made in a fruity style that is easy on the tongue for any wine drinker. It is made from Tempranillo grape, the mystical grape responsible for Spain?s great Rioja wines.
This type of red wine is perfect for steaks and any rice or casserole dish.
3. Blackstone Merlot
Merlot is an old-world grape grown in the Bordeaux region in France, where it has enjoyed popularity with most red wine drinkers. It can be drank young but develops even more flavor the longer it has aged. This Monterey wine embodies Merlot in its perfection ? a well-structured smooth wine with plum and fruitcake flavors, touches of oak and firm tannins to produce a flavorful and balanced wine.
These are just a few of the best red wines ever created by the greatest wine makers. Keep in mind that the classiness and quality of red wines are fully dependent on the variety of grapes that were used. You can expect great wine products made from quality grapes.
Coronary artery disease is caused by a build up of cholesterol in the arteries that supply the blood to the heart. If the arteries get partially blocked the heart cannot get enough oxygen and the result is pain. Does red wine protect against heart disease?
