How Long is Too Long - The Fridge Life of Your Wine

When you are accustomed to enjoying your wine at the best winery at the Lake of the Ozarks, you are guaranteeing yourself a fresh glass of wine. We go through so many bottles, that there won't be time for it to even go bad, but what are you supposed to do when you take your bottle back to the comfort of your own home? Here are a few tips to tell if your wine is good, bad or sparkling.

The Look

When a wine has been left open for too long, the oxidation will cause the wine to be past it's peak. Oxygen is not your friend when it comes to your favorite bottle of Missouri wine. There are ways to help make the process a little slower, but at some point, all wine lovers will face a bad bottle. The first thing to notice will be the look. If your wine has a cloudy appearance, or leaves a film in the bottle, that could be a sign that your wine is past the point of not return. When your red wine turns to brown, that could be a sign that your wine is not good anymore. If you find tiny bubbles in your wine, then that could mean your wine has gone through a second fermentation, which gives you a form of "sparkling wine".

The Smell

A wine that has gone bad with have a scent similar to nail polish remover, vinegar, or paint thinner. These aromas are caused from chemical reactions from the wine being exposed to air and heat. This causes bacteria to grow that produces acetic acid and acetaldehyde.

The Taste

A wine that's gone bad won't hurt you, but it's probably not a good idea to drink it. It will have a flavor similar to vinegar and may burn your nasal passages. Sometimes it might even have a caramelized flavor.

Wine Buying Guide for Beginners

When you are just entering the world of wine, it can seem daunting. There are so many different terms, types, flavors, and even glasses! Where do you start, what do you drink, and how do you know what you'll like? Simply put, you just have to jump in and start trying wines. Luckily for you, there are a few "break-in" wines that can help ease you in to the long-lasting love of wine.

White Wine

You get to make the first big decision: white or red? We recommend starting off with white wines, they are not quite as bold as the red wines. They are also lighter bodied and easier on the palate. Here are a few of our Seven Springs Whites we think you'll enjoy:

  • Muscato Sparkling. This brilliant white wine has a light straw color. With tropical fruit & flowers flavors, this light bodied wine is a great choice. The fruit forward sparkling finish will leave you with a great appreciation for white wines.
  • Spring Fling. This wine also has the light straw color, with a lime green rim. It's light body, and fruity, citrus & lychee flavors are going to leave you wanting more.
  • Traminette. With it's light straw color and green hues, we know this will be a favorite. It's light bodied, with a fruity yet dry finish. This might be the bolder of the three white wines we've listed. With it's touch of dry-ness, you could be in for a fun kick!


Red Wine

Start off with the simpler red wines, it will take time for your wine palate to develop, and then you can move on to the complex, full bodied reds. These are a few of our suggested faves to start off your new found love of red wines.

  • Pinot Noir. With it's medium plum and garnet colors, you'll enjoy this flavorful variety. Hints of berries and spices make the flavor of this wine unique. It's medium bodied with beautiful, velvety tannins and has a long finish.
  • Syrah. This wine has beautiful aromas of currant, blackberry, and black pepper. The finale is a very subtle, with a delicious vanilla oak flavor.
  • Blushing Springs. This is a fun, sparkling wine. It has sweet berry aromas and a semi sweet finish.

5 Reasons Why Wine is Healthy

We know that wine makes life much more fun and entertaining, but wine isn't just for a good time anymore! There are always health benefits being discovered about this fabulous beverage, and we always knew that wine would prove to be the best! Check out a few of these great reasons to keep the glass full and enjoy your wine to the very last drop.


Wine is Heart Healthy

A glass of red wine a day has been considered a great way to help your heart, but new research has linked moderate alcohol consumption in general to help your blood pressure. That would include white wine and other beverages. This benefit is caused by the plant antioxidant called flavanoids that are present in the skins of grapes.


It Can Affect Your Lifespan

Perhaps this is caused by the relaxation that alcohol can provide, but studies have proven that moderate alcohol consumption can lead to a longer life. As an added bonus, people who dink in moderation also tend to have other healthy behaviors, like healthy diets, or regular exercise. So pair your next glass of Missouri wine with a healthy meal and enjoy the benefits!

Your Waistline May Thank You

Wine does have calories, so like any other healthy food or drink, you don't want to go overboard. Studies have proven, however, that people who drink wine in moderation are less likely to be obese, or suffer from obesity related diseases - such as diabetes. So enjoy your glass of wine, and if you're counting calories, just measure your portion before putting it in the glass.

It Sharpens Your Mind

This may seem like the opposite of what alcohol does, but people who drink alcohol regularly are at a lower risk of developing Alzheimer's and cognitive decline. Wine contains flavanols, and those protect your body's cells. Your cells support healthy blood vessels, which is a key physiological benefit. It improves blood flow to your brain and also prevents harmful plaque from developing.




Raise a Glass to Raise Your Spirits

Studies have proven that moderate alcohol intake can improve your mood. A study done in 2014 stated that people who had a glass of wine in an uncomfortable environment experience the same level of mood improvement as people who didn't drink any wine in a pleasant environment. So when you're down, drink up!

We have provided you with the best winery at the Lake of the Ozarks for over seven years. Our grapes are grown in Missouri, and we have 13 varieties of wine from red to white.
