Rated 4.8 out of 5�by 12 reviewers.
Rated 5 out of 5�by marcmyman Great fit and well made Received a different set of new gloves two months ago and the vinyl began to crumble and flake apart immediately. Didn't wear them more than two or three times and tossed them. Replaced them with the Bionic gloves and WOW what a difference! These are great gloves. Had them for about three weeks now. They fit well from day one. No cheap vinyl to flake off and padded in all the right places. Solid set of gloves. I expect to have them for a long while. June 30, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5�by Gaeus It's tight yet comfortable Never felt gloves like this before. This is way better than Harbinger or any brands I used before. The gloves is tight in your hand but very flexible and comfortable. The only downside is the price. I guess that is the reason why it's expensive. December 6, 2012
Rated 4 out of 5�by Jen Protects and Supports Wrists I brought this product for more protection and support for my wrists for weight lifting using kettlebells and so far so good. May 14, 2012
Rated 4 out of 5�by Nickbizz Highly recommended I'm somewhat new to weight training. Only recently started doing intense workouts 6 days a week but I feel these are better than gloves I've used before. Lightly padded, and the wrist wraps are boss. April 23, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5�by 1945CUBS excellent product!!! i tried two other major brands and found the bionic gloves to be superior December 8, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5�by Calvin Great Wrist Support!! I've been using these for a month after using Harbinger wrist gloves for 2 years and these feel much better. We will see how long they last though. The Harbingers never came apart and I still have them.. Just wanted to try something new and so far so good. November 13, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5�by Taz Quality glove for a good workout Good fit....ergonomically correct. Better padding across palm than I have had in the past with other gloves. April 25, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5�by Metapolymath Tight Fit, Good Wrist Support I just purchased the XL size. It has a tight fit which I like. The wrist wrap is cut to the contour of your wrist joint for proper support. I tried it out with some dumbbells and the product delivered the desired results. I am recovering from a wrist sprain and could not wait any longer for heavy lifting. This product eases my mind and eliminates a majority of discomfort for my already sore wrists. I'm hoping this will lead to stronger wrists by minimizing damage and allowing to grow with the weight I desire to build that strength. Just out of box I am satisfied. I read these reviews ahead of the purchase which led to my decision on this product. July 24, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5�by willy fresh i like it it's under armor !!this brand is the best for any sport !! August 25, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5�by RocketMan Bionic Men's Wrist Wrap, Size XL Having just had surgery for a Carpal Tunnel Syndrome on my right wrist I have been looking for a Wrist Wrap Fitness Glove that will still me allow to do my daily workouts with freeweights. This works and it makes my right hand more flexible and allows me to lift something, not going heavy at this point. My only issue is size. I wish it was available in XXL. May 21, 2015

I doubt it is regulated per se. Tickers are part of the listing contract between a new entity and the primary listing exchange. The exchange will seek to please the new client with a ticker they want, while also trying to please its existing members by assigning tickers in a logical, mnemonic way.
Since both the revitalized company and the markets expected a re-use of the GM ticker, that's what happened.

Pre-Departure Resources
Safety Tips
Before You Go
Research Conditions
Research possible destinations before you decide where to study abroad. Learn as much as you can about the political situation, living conditions, health conditions, and crime and general safety. All of these things can affect your safety and well-being, and you should consider them in choosing your destination. The US Department of State issues
consular information sheets
travel warnings
Get Adequate Insurance
Make sure you have enough medical insurance, and that it will cover you while you are abroad. If you will be taking costly items such as jewelry, laptops, or portable CD/DVD players, you may wish to consider purchasing property insurance for these items.
Check Airline and Travel Regulations
Keep up to date with restrictions and regulations for airline safety, as well as any changes in entry requirements for the country you'll be going to. The
Transportation Security Administration
provides updates about changes in airline passenger requirements, as do many international airport websites.
Talk to Your Family
Discuss your plans and make sure that your family understands where you'll be going and how to stay in contact with you. Make sure they have your itinerary and copies of relevant travel documents. You may want to make plans to check in by email or phone at regular intervals. Also consider how you will contact them in the event of an emergency.
In-Country Safety
Avoid Alcohol and Drugs
No matter what the country's alcohol laws allow, drinking to excess places you at risk for accidents and judgment lapses that could lead to being victimized by crime. Illegal drug use not only places you at similar risks, but can also have severe legal consequences. Don't assume that as a US citizen you will not be subject to your host country's legal system! Check the US Department of State's
warning on drugs abroad
for more information.
Use Safe Transportation
Don't hitchhike, and stick to official, licensed buses and taxi cabs. Make sure you know how long trips will take, what the schedule for transportation is like, and how you will get back. Ask your program director if you have questions about which types of local transportation are safe and reliable.
Take Normal Crime Prevention Precautions
Use the same common sense precautions you would take in an unfamiliar location in the US. Avoid unsafe areas and poorly lit or deserted streets; travel with a buddy, but avoid going in large groups of Americans; don't carry a lot of cash; keep your important documents safe and carry a copy of your passport page or any other identification; be aware of your surroundings and keep your wits about you.
Avoid "American" Hangouts
Trying to blend into your host culture is part of the experience of study abroad anyway, and it's also a wise precaution to avoid places where Americans are known to congregate, such as particular "tourist" restaurants or bars, McDonald's, or the US Embassy.
Know How to Communicate in an Emergency
Carry your contact information card (provided at your predeparture meeting) with Hamilton contact information, and be sure to add phone numbers for your local study abroad office, host family or apartment, local advisor, and anyone else you may need to reach in an emergency. You might want to carry the number of the nearest US consulate or embassy in case you need to contact them, for instance if you've lost your passport.
Stay in Touch with Your Family
Keep them apprised of your travel plans and try to maintain regular contact with them.

Thomas J. Collin, 79, of The Villages, Fla., formerly of Kane, passed away on Wednesday, Dec. 19, 2012.
A memorial service will be held at 10 a.m. on Jan. 19, 2013 at the Cummings Funeral Home, Inc.
A complete obituary will be published when available.
The Kane Wolves lost to Cameron County by 15 points last week in their final game before the holiday break. The Wolves took on the same Red Raider squad in the opening game of Thursday's Sheffield Sports Boosters' Holiday Tournament, but this time the Kane squad gave the team from Emporium all they could handle. While Kane coach Brian Wymer's squad lost to Cameron County by a score of 64-55, the game was a one-point contest into the fourth quarter.
SMETHPORT – The McKean County Commissioners adopted the 2013 budget in their final meeting of 2012, held Thursday at the McKean County Courthouse in Smethport. Commissioners Joseph DeMott and Al Pingie voted to approve the budget, while commissioner Clifford Lane voted against the resolution.

I was now awakening to my first full day in Katmai National Park in southwestern Alaska. I had finally seen some monster Alaskan brown bears in their natural habitat. The weather had held out, being cool and very comfortable with temperatures in the high 60s and low 70s. I was enjoying Mother Nature's air conditioning, unaware of the near 100-degree temperatures both in Kane and in the lower 48 for July 2011.
The 4-year-olds at Kane Community Preschool were surprised by a visit with Santa. Santa delivered presents to the kids for being such good boys and girls all year.
Eleven acts entertained the students and faculty of the Kane Middle School at Friday's talent show. The show was hosted by KAMS students Connor Crowley and Madison Selan, who kept the crowd laughing between acts.

Flexibility: The Secret Sauce For Diversity & Inclusion Leaders in 2009Tue, 12/30/2008 - 05:50 — Meryl Rosenthal
By Meryl Rosenthal
As corporate leaders head back to their desks in early January, after celebrating holidays (albeit more conservatively in many cases) they will ease back to a hard set of facts; looking in the eyes of their managers and employees and getting them energized and focused on their respective business agenda. Not to be a pessimist but no doubt a lofty goal, given a record high number of distractions resulting from a tough & dipping economy.
The economy, as we all know, hasn't simply resulted in job loss but notable personal financial loss; one that won't be recoverable for years to come. So imagine, the demeanor of those returning to work in January - and where their heads and hearts are focused. And, (not to be totally depressing and cause you to skip the rest of this) compounding this double dose of distraction is what will hit the average employee - at some point in his/her life cycle - having or adopting a child, dealing with a sick relative or one's own health issues, coping with a return to home graduate, supporting a relative who needs emotional and financial means.

Pronounced: DOZ-oh-ROO-bi-sin LYE-poe-SOE-mal
Classification: Anthracycline
Doxil is the chemotherapy medication doxorubicin that is covered in a protective coating, which allows it to avoid destruction by the body's immune system and remain in the body for a longer amount of time. As a result, Doxil has more time to reach the tumor tissue, where the medication is then slowly released. Doxorubicin liposomal interferes with the growth of cancer cells and slows their spread in the body by inhibiting DNA synthesis and causing the production of harmful free radicals.
Doxil is given though intravenous (into a vein) infusion. The actual dose is based on the type of cancer you are being treated for and your body size. This medication is red and may cause your urine to be red or orange for about 48 hours after the treatment. If this continues or you have pain or burning with urination, notify your doctor or nurse.
Doxil is an irritant, which means that it can cause irritation of the vein through which it is given and can cause damage to the tissue if it escapes the vein. If you notice any swelling, redness or burning during or after the infusion, notify your nurse or doctor immediately. Do not apply anything to the site unless instructed to do so by your oncology team.
There are a number of things you can do to manage the side effects of Doxorubicin Liposomal. Talk to your doctor or nurse about these recommendations. They can help you decide what will work best for you. These are some of the most common side effects:
Some patients can have an infusion related reaction, which can include flushing, shortness of breath, swelling of the face, chills, fever, chest or back pain, tightness in chest or throat, rash and low blood pressure, among other things. If you feel anything out of the ordinary, notify your nurse right away. These reactions often stop when the infusion is stopped and in many cases do not reoccur if the infusion is restarted at a slower rate.
White blood cells (WBC) are important for fighting infection. While receiving treatment, your WBC count can drop, putting you at a higher risk of getting an infection. You should let your doctor or nurse know right away if you have a fever (temperature greater than 100.4 F), sore throat or cold, shortness of breath, cough, burning with urination, or a sore that doesn't heal.
Tips to preventing infection:
For more suggestions, read the Neutropenia Tip Sheet.
Your red blood cells are responsible for carrying oxygen to the tissues in your body. When the red cell count is low, you may feel tired or weak. You should let your doctor or nurse know if you experience any shortness of breath, difficulty breathing or pain in your chest. If the count gets too low, you may receive a blood transfusion. Read the anemia tip sheet for more information.
Platelets help your blood clot, so when the count is low you are at a higher risk of bleeding. Let your doctor or nurse know if you have any excess bruising or bleeding, including nosebleeds, bleeding gums or blood in your urine or stool. If your platelet count becomes too low, you may receive a transfusion of platelets.
Read the thrombocytopenia tip sheet for more information.
Take anti-nausea medications as prescribed. If you continue to have nausea or vomiting, notify your doctor or nurse so they can help you manage this side effect. In addition, dietary changes may help. Avoid things that may worsen the symptoms, such as heavy or greasy/fatty, spicy or acidic foods (lemons, tomatoes, oranges). Try antacids, (e.g. milk of magnesia, calcium tablets such as Tums), saltines, or ginger ale to lessen symptoms. Read the Nausea & Vomiting Tip Sheet for more suggestions.
Call your doctor or nurse if you are unable to keep fluids down for more than 12 hours or if you feel lightheaded or dizzy at any time.
Hand and foot syndrome (HFS) is a skin reaction that appears on the palms of the hands and/or the soles of the feet as a result of certain chemotherapy agents being absorbed by the skin cells. HFS can begin as a mild tingling, numbness, pins-and- needles feeling, or pain or swelling of the hands and/or feet. This can then progress to painful swelling, blistering or peeling skin that can interfere with your ability to do normal activities. Be sure to let your oncology team know right away if you notice these symptoms as they may need to adjust the chemotherapy dose or take a break to allow the skin to heal. Some tips to help prevent HFS include:
Visit OncoLink's Guide to HFS for more information.
Certain cancer treatments can cause sores or soreness in your mouth and/or throat. Notify your doctor or nurse if your mouth, tongue, inside of your cheek or throat becomes white, ulcerated or painful. Performing regular mouth care can help prevent or manage mouth sores. If mouth sores become painful, your doctor or nurse can recommend a pain reliever.
Read the mouth ulcer tip sheet for more information.
Radiation recall is when the administration of a medication causes a skin reaction that looks like a sunburn (redness, swelling, soreness, peeling skin) in areas where radiation was previously given. Notify your oncology team if you notice this side effect. Treatment can include topical steroid ointments and a delay in your next chemotherapy dose. Read the Radiation Recall Tip Sheet for more information.
Your fingernails/toenails may become dark, brittle or fall off. You may notice dry skin or changes in the color or tone of your skin. Your skin will be more sensitive to the sun, which can result in severe sunburn or rash. Sun sensitivity can last even after chemotherapy is completed. Avoid the sun between 10-2pm, when it is strongest. Wear sunscreen (at least SPF 15) everyday; wear sunglasses, a hat and long sleeves/pants to protect your skin. Keep your fingernails and toenails clean and dry. You may use nail polish, but do not wear fake nails. Notify your doctor or nurse if any nails fall off. For more suggestions, read the Nail and Skin Care Tip Sheet.
Visit OncoLink's section on Nutrition for tips on dealing with this side effect. Ask your nurse about nutritional counseling services.
Your hair may become thin, brittle, or may fall out. This typically begins two to three weeks after treatment starts. This hair loss can be all body hair, including pubic, underarm, legs/arms, eyelashes, and nose hairs. The use of scarves, wigs, hats and hairpieces may help. Hair generally starts to regrow soon after treatment is completed. Remember your hair helps keep you warm in cold weather, so a hat is particularly important in cold weather or to protect you from the sun. Read more on alopecia.
In rare cases, the heart muscle is weakened on this medication. It is important that you report immediately to your doctor or nurse any shortness of breath, cough, ankle swelling, chest pain, rapid or irregular heartbeats. Your doctor may order tests to check your heart function prior to receiving this drug or to evaluate your heart when symptoms develop.
This drug can affect your reproductive system, resulting in the menstrual cycle or sperm production becoming irregular or stopping permanently. Women may experience menopausal effects including hot flashes and vaginal dryness - read more about coping with vaginal dryness. In addition, the desire for sex may decrease during treatment.
Exposure of an unborn child to this medication could cause birth defects, so you should not become pregnant or father a child while on this medication. Effective birth control is necessary during treatment, even if your menstrual cycle stops or you believe your sperm is affected. You may want to consider sperm banking or egg harvesting if you may wish to have a child in the future. Discuss these options with your oncology team. See OncoLink's section on sexuality for helpful tips for dealing with these side effects.

IMO a good hire. Redmond was a guy many saw as a future manager. People may be hesitant because his only managerial experience was in Single A, but guys like Mike Metheny and Joe Girardi didn't have any coaching experience when hired to be manager.
He's a guy well respected within the organization due to his time with the Marlins, and he's a young enough manager where he can relate to the young guys.
While you can argue Ozzie got a bit of a raw deal, fact is he alienated a lot of people within the community and the organization (reports are that the only person who wanted to hire him was Loria) as well as a few non-latino players.
Also with this hire, half the managers in baseball are former catchers

Figured id post an update. I took your advice for dressing for success. Khaki slacks, dress shoes, and a nice button up shirt. Interview went phenominally well. I will know by next week if i am selected for the job. I think my veterans status and all of my welding experience had a very positive impact. All i can do now is wait and hope for the best. Thank you guys for the advice and i believe that it really helped me a lot.
Sounds very encouraging. After you've had an interview, you usually come away with a feeling on how it went and it sounds like you had a really good interview. Hopefully, things will work out well for you. Keep us posted and good luck...

Participants are encouraged to run in their underwear as a tongue-in-cheek reference to the area affected by colon cancer.
"Last year, we had over 1,300 participants run, which included over 70 colon cancer survivors," said Todd Setter, National Undy 5000 Event Director. "We know this year will shatter last year's records, and we hope we have tons more survivors, since that's what this event is all about, after all - early detection and surviving!"
The Phoenix Undy 5000 will feature the Colon Cancer Alliance's (CCA) Inflatable Colon, which is a giant, walk-through colon that shows the various stages of colon cancer, including descriptions about Crohn's disease and Colitis.
The Undy 5000 will be held in 16 cities across the country this year to educate the public about colon cancer, promote screenings and encourage people to talk about the disease. Instead of raceday T-shirts, all registered participants receive a commemorative pair of Undy 5000 boxers. It is a family-friendly event open to all ages, and in addition to the 5K, there is a 1-mile fun run. The CCA, the nation's largest and oldest patient advocacy organization dedicated to ending the suffering caused by colon cancer, hosts the event.
Created by the CCA in 2008, the Undy 5000 stresses the importance of timely colon cancer screenings, early detection, and provides valuable information for those already affected by the disease. Event proceeds help fund the CCA's patient support and public awareness programs.
Boehringer Ingelheim, the maker of Dulcolax®*, is the proud presenting sponsor of the 2012 Undy 5000 races. As the #1 doctor-recommended stimulant for constipation relief, Dulcolax ® reminds everyone over the age of 50 or with a family history of colon cancer, that a colonoscopy can save lives.

Aspiring archaeologists can experience a day at a real excavation site, uncovering historic artifacts and a lot of dirt, here in Montgomery County.
"You don't have to be crazy to do this. We'll teach you," Vivian Eicke, an archaeological technician with the Maryland-National Capital Park and Planning Commission, said with a laugh.
The commission has excavated the site around the Zeigler Log House in Little Bennett Park near Clarksburg since early 2009. It has gotten help from local volunteers, a children's summer camp and a partnership with Montgomery College.
Heather Bouslog, the director of the archaeology program for the commission, said anyone is welcome to come out for the day and learn about excavation.
Volunteers work in what looks like a scientific sandbox for adults. They dig, photograph, map, sift and catalog the dirt and rocks to find artifacts and help piece together the past.
"It's not just about finding the goodies. It's really about finding out who lived here," Bouslog said.
She said many people dig and pull things out of the ground, but don't look at where it's found or what's around it. "Context is the key to figuring out the whole story," Bouslog said.
Bouslog and her colleagues are trying to figure out how the Zeigler family lived so many years ago and are especially hoping to find clues about the slaves who lived there with them.
What is known about the home is it was built in the early 19th century. The rear section of the house was erected as a log structure, most likely by David Zeigler.
According to the Friends of Little Bennett Park, Zeigler married his wife, Eleanor Hyatt, in 1835 and they raised 10 children in the house. The 1850 census listed Zeigler as an innkeeper.
In the mid-19th century, the Greek revival/Italianate front section of the house was added, according to the park's advocacy group.
The property also has a frame bank barn and a concrete-block dairy barn.
The home, listed on the Master Plan for Historic Preservation in Montgomery County, has two parts: the visible exterior of the house, built in 1854, and the log house that lies within, built in 1823.
Scientists used dendrochronology to study the tree rings to find out how old the logs were and where they were taken from.
"Kind of like a wooden fingerprint," Mike Robinson of Rockville, one of the regular volunteers, said.
Robinson said he enjoys working on the site because he likes science, the outdoors and history.
Pete Peltier, a volunteer from Gaithersburg, said he comes to the site to "play with people his own age," but also is genuinely interested in history and "unusual stuff."
"If the walls could talk, or this tree could talk, the things they could tell you would be fascinating," Peltier said.
Over the years, crews have dug up spurs, glass bottles and the original foundation of the stone fireplace underneath the newer brick one. Within the walls of the house, they found children's shoes and a medicine bottle apparently put there due to an old superstition, Eicke said.
All artifacts are sent to the Needwood Mansion in Deerwood or an archaeology lab at Montgomery College in Rockville to be studied, identified and cataloged.
Robinson compares their work to the crime scene investigations everyone loves to watch on TV, explaining that they all use the same techniques.
"It's like looking at a crime scene that's almost 200 years old," Robinson said.

1/3 cup
olive oil
1 clove
garlic, minced
3/4 cup
chopped fresh cilantro
avocados, peeled, seeded and cubed
1 large
cucumber, peeled, seeded and cut into chunks
1/4 cup
lemon juice
salt and pepper to taste
I love this recipe! I don't know why the recipe was edited to say the cucumber seeds should be removed. I know the creator of this recipe and she just lightly peels the cucumber and uses the whole thing. She uses more cucumber for a dressing, and less for a dip. When I make it, I use a heaping tablespoon or two of garlic powder instead of fresh garlic because I like that taste better. I love it because I actually enjoy eating raw vegees when I have this to dip them into!!!! I crave it now and have to have some in the fridge all the time.
I thought this dressing was pretty good. I didn't think it was too thick but it did need something. I might put in more garlic next time. The cucumber taste was great and the cilantro really complimented it.
41 Ratings
When I first made this, it seemed like it was missing something. But after I let it sit in the fridge a few hours and allowed the flavors to mingle, well... that was pretty much all it needed! Good stuff! :-) In addition to using as a salad dressing, it works great as a spread in a wrap with smoked salmon and sprouts.
I really like this - the cucumber and garlic remind me of a Greek tzaziki sauce. To keep things simple, I just pressed the garlic and threw all of the ingredients in the blender at once. We had it with veggies and fried corn and wheat tortilla chips. Thanks for the recipe!
I am not a big dressing person when it comes to salads so I wanted something a little different and with a refreshing taste. I love avocados, so this seemed like a perfect dressing for me. Absolutely LOVE IT and agree is a nice dip as well. I did add 2 additional garlic cloves because I like the added bite. From a time preparation perspective, you really don't need to cube the avocados if they are ripe, they blend up with no issues. Would highly recommend this recipe to others.
I'm about to have seconds, this dressing tastes great! Pure and healthy. To give it more kick, I added extra lemon juice and garlic instead of upping the salt content. Yummy on a spinach salad!
This is a refreshing alternative to fatty, oil laden salad dressings. It is a very balanced dressing, and you don't have to worry about overdoing it. My only suggestion is that if you are watching your sodium intake, try using Mrs Dash instead. And if you really want to cut calories and fat content, instead of using the 1/3 cup of olive oil, try using almond milk.
Wow! I had to change the recipe a bit because I didn't have any cilantro. I took this idea but substituted about 2 teaspoons finely chopped fresh mint for the cilantro. I also added a bit of plain yogurt. It made a delicious dip/dressing. Thank you for the great idea! Best after being refrigerated over night.

1 cup
shredded Cheddar cheese
1 (16 ounce) container
sour cream
1 (4 ounce) can
chopped green chile peppers
1 (1 ounce) package
taco seasoning mix
I made this as a dip for vegetables. I used reduced fat sour cream and homemade taco seasoning mix. We loved it, especially me. I especially loved dipping cucumbers into it. I will make this again, for sure, but next time I will try it with homemade pickled jalapenos instead of green chile peppers as other reviewers have suggested.
Made this for Superbowl, didn't go over very well at all. The Taco seasoning was WAY too overpowering.
96 Ratings
Delicious. Be sure to add 1/2 cup mayo and chopped jalapenos, as other reviewers have suggested. Best if chilled overnight. Big hit!
WOW. This was the easiest thing ever (no lie - 5 minutes). Per the advice of other reviewers, I added 1/2 cup mayo and some chopped jalapeno peppers as well. I also used HOT taco seasoning. My guests loved it just as much as I did!! I will make this again and again!
I made this for a cub scout camp out. Everyone loved it. I put in a little bit of jalapeno instead of the chilies. Gave it quite a bit of spice. Had alot of people ask for the recipie. I also put in both the cheddar and monterey jack like previously reccomended. Next time I think I will put the mayo in too to make it a bit creamier. Also I think I will use the chilies instead of the jalapeno. It was also very easy.
I made this for my office Christmas party and served it with Fritos Scoops chips...it was a huge hit. At least 10 people asked me for the recipe. Next time I may add tobasco to spice it up a bit. Thanks Beth!!
This dip went really well.....just a couple of things I might change for next time,,,,I used jalepeno's instead of the green chili's...that was good....I did add mayo and some parmesan cheese, but maybe next time would use chedder plus monterey jack?? Plus I used one package of regular taco seasoning, and one of the hot seasoning,,,the hot one was too hot for me,,but everyone else liked it...I think next time I will just use the regular seasoning and add tabasco sauce...but all in all,,everyone said it was really addicting and delicious!! I liked that it was so easy- and would probably taste better sitting over night!! Thanks for this recipe!!
At an office get-together at a colleage's summer home, I was the "It" girl - thank you to "Beth" - I may have landed a date with a cutie down the hall. After reading a lot of reviews, I subsitituted the green chilies for jalapenos - very spicy (and sassy). Also, I made it the night before, definitely gelled together well. I've been invited for future parties....

White wines come in many varieties. Chardonnay, Sauvignon blanc, Moscato, and Pinot grigio are just a few of the splendid variety of white wines available to choose from. Perhaps your taste in white wine is for sweet and fruity (Moscato), perhaps you prefer a more voluptuous and wide bodied flavor (Chardonnay). Or maybe you prefer something dry with just the right acid "bite" (Pinot grigio). Factor in sparkling wines and it's safe to say there is a white wine for nearly every wine taste. Regardless of the variety of wine you prefer, proper storage is key to ensuring the finest taste and aroma of your wine when you're ready to enjoy it.
What makes a fine wine?
There is no uniform definition of what a fine wine is. Even among wine connoisseurs there are divergent opinions as to the definition of a fine wine. For some "fine" is defined by a rating scale that ranges from "Very good" on the low end to "Very fine" on the high end of the scale. Still for others a fine wine sits supreme above all others by virtue of its superior performance across a range of predetermined variables. Thus in some regard the fine-ness of a wine is as much personal and subjective as it is uniformly understood.
In the end most experts would agree to some combination of the following characteristics in categorizing a wine as being fine: balance, finish, complexity, and character. Balance refers to the harmony among the wine's components in essence a balance between the wine's alcohol, fruitiness, acid and tannins. Finish is the final impression a wine leaves in your mouth. A finish that lingers is good while one that hardly lasts is not so good. Complexity refers to the wine's different flavors and aromas. A fine wine should be enigmatic, with many facets to its nose and palate. Finally, a fine wine should have character. Character is what distinguishes a wine from so many other wines. Of course you don't have to be a wine connoisseur in order to identify a fine wine. It takes most connoisseurs years to perfect their trade. For the average person there is a much easier way.
Price is another more common way of identifying a fine wine. Just as it can be said that there is a wine for every occasion it can also be said that there is a wine for every budget. Generally speaking, wines fall into one of four categories: (1.) Value wines (including jug wines), (2.) Industry average, (3.) Premium, and (4.) Ultra premium. These categories are by no means scientific, but they generally reflect the breakdown of wines as viewed from within the wine industry.
In general the industry considers a fine wine to be any wine that is classified as premium or ultra premium. From a pricing perspective premium wines are generally priced somewhere between $13 and $19; while ultra premium wines are from $20 upward. What is it that makes the price of wine a determinant for it being a fine wine? Well, the assumption is that the care and attention needed to make a fine wine (think balance, finish, complexity and character) is what makes it so hard to produce such a wine for under $13.
Storing Red versus White
There are four essential factors to consider when storing any type of wine. The four factors are temperature, light, movement, and positioning. In short, rule for storing wine is keep it cool, keep it dark, keep it still, and keep horizontal. While these factors may apply to all wines there are some special considerations to observe when storing white wine.
Keep it Cool
More than any other factor, the temperature of the storage area is most important when it comes to storing wine. Temperatures that are too hot can "cook" the wine producing a flat aroma and taste. Heat in fact is a wine's greatest enemy, causing it to age faster than what is normal. Conversely, cold temperatures can produce ill effects on wine too. Freezing produces bottle ice that turns to water and mixes with the wine when the accumulated ice thaws. Also when wine inside the bottle freezes, it expands, producing the added danger of either the cork popping or the bottle exploding.
The ideal temperature for storing white wine is between 45 and 50 degrees Fahrenheit. And where possible, it's best to keep it near the recommended serving temperature of 48 degrees. If on the other hand you're storing both red and white wine then aim for a storage temperature that's somewhere around 55 degrees.
Refrigerator Storage
If you're simply chilling your white wine for a brief time before it's served then it's OK to keep it in the household refrigerator. But it should not be used for extended storage. The temperature inside most refrigerators ranges anywhere between 34 and 39 degrees Fahrenheit – well below recommended storage temperature for white wine. White wines especially can lose their vibrant flavors when stored at too cold temperatures. There is also the risk of the bottle cork drying out from exposure to cold temperatures, allowing air and harmful bacteria to seep into the bottle. So where possible avoid using the household fridge to store your wine for all but the briefest amount of time. When it comes to temperature the goal should be consistency, so try to avoid temperature extremes and rapid changes or fluctuations in temperature.
Turn the Light Down Low.
We all know how low light can create a romantic mood for enjoying a great glass of wine. Have you ever wondered why many wine makers bottle their wine in colored glass bottles? It's because the dark bottles help to protect the wine from the damaging effects of direct sunlight.
Much like our skin, wine ages prematurely when it's exposed to the UV rays of the sun. Moreover too much sunlight affects the body and the aroma of wine. Colored bottles in effect serve as sunscreen for wine by protecting it from the harmful effects of too much light. When storing your wine great care should be taken to avoid exposing it to direct sunlight. So consider storing it in window-less spaces or one that has a north facing exposure.
As for artificial lighting, most have minimal effect on the quality of wine. At most you might consider avoiding exposing your wine to fluorescent lighting since these lights do emit small amounts of ultraviolent light, though hardly enough to warrant avoiding them completely.
What about Humidity?
Along with temperature, humidity is a condition that can adversely affect the condition of stored wine. Therefore care should be taken to maintain the proper humidity level of the stored area. Too much humidity encourages bacteria growth and spoilage, and at minimum can damage wine labels. Too little humidity can lead to cork drying the seepage of air into the bottle. When it comes to humidity 50-80% is considered safe, with the ideal condition somewhere around 65%.
Keep it sideways
You've no doubt heard that storing wine on its side keeps the wine against the cork and thus keeps the cork from drying out. Wines sealed with metal caps and synthetic corks obviously are not subject to drying. As noted above, a cork that has dried out is prone to allowing air into the bottle; this in turn can spoil the flavor and aroma of the wine. It is also true that sediment formation occurs inside the bottle over time as part of the wine's natural aging process. Storing the bottle with the label side up makes it easier to see if there are any sediments and allow them to gentle fall to bottom of the bottle when it's picked up.
Stay Still
As mentioned, sediment can occur in stored wine as it ages. Abruptly disturbing the sediment and adversely affect the wine's flavor, producing a gritty and unpalatable taste. Even vibrations that can be caused by jarring movement, heavy traffic, or appliance motors can disturb sediment and negatively affect wine. As such, wine should be stored in a way that keeps it from being moved for any reason other than to be opened and served. This means arranging your stored wine bottles so that one of them doesn't have to be moved in order to get to another. It's one more reason to store bottles with the label visibly upward so they don't have to be moved to be read.
Finally, it's important to remember that wine breathes, so it shouldn't be stored with anything that emits a strong odor for risk of the smell permeating the cork and ruining the flavor of the wine. So be certain there is adequate ventilation in your storage area. And when you're ready to open a bottle of stored wine, be gentle. Remember: raise the bottle smoothly. Don't jar, shake or rattle the it so as not to redistribute any sediment.
How Long to Store?
It bears noting that not all wines improve with age. As a rule inexpensive wines don't improve over time. While some red wines can mature for anywhere from 2 to 10 years, the majority of wines – red and white, are intended to be drank within a few years. Generally, most white wines are at their peak upon release and therefore best enjoyed as close as possible to their vintage year (although there are a select few Chardonnays that can be aged for over 20 years).
Storage Options
Ideally a cool moderately humid cellar makes the perfect location for storing your wine. If you're so inclined as to have such a location – especially if it's cordoned off, has adequate ventilation, AND has an available north facing wall; then all you need to do is put in some lighting and shelving and you're ready to go. Most of us however, aren't so lucky. In which case there are other options to consider.
Wine Closet: If you don't happen to have a real cellar here's how you can turn a closet into makeshift wine cellar.
- Empty an out of the way closet on the ground floor of your home. Preferably one that's not subject to rapid or extreme temperature changes.
- Glue 1 inch foam insulating board to the walls and ceiling to insulate the interior of the room.
- Replace the closet door with an insulated steel door, and glue foam to it as well, if you can.
- Place weather stripping where needed all around the door in order to keep out outside air, especially heat.
- Finish off the room with shelving that will enable enough wine to be store comfortably without having to shift any of the bottles for any reason. Be sure to have lighting that's adequate to read the labels without disturbing the bottles.
- Finally, consider any need you may have for controlling the temperature of your new wine closet and invest accordingly.
Wine Cooler/Refrigerators: Wine coolers (also called wine chillers) are free-standing unites designed to store wines at a specific temperature. They come in a range of prices and offer conveniences and features to meet most every budget. On the plus side wine coolers are fairly compact, are good at controlling temperature and allow bottles to be stored sideways. However the drawback to coolers is that they can't control for humidity, nor do they offer any capability for the long term aging of wine.
Storage Cabinets: When it comes to wine storage options wine cabinets are set apart from wine coolers by their ability to control for temperature and humidity. Some even have different temperature zones for different wines. Moreover their larger size enables the wine enthusiast enough capacity to accommodate both short term and long term storage. As might be expected this added capacity comes at a significantly greater cost. Thus for anyone just starting out or who might be on a limited budget, wine coolers might be the better storage option.
Before Serving
Not all white wines are meant to be served at the same temperature. For instance for dry whites the temperature should be between 46-57F; whereas for sparkling wines and champagne the temperature should between 43-47F. So before pouring your wine, be sure to allow time for the temperature of the wine to rise or fall to appropriate serving temperature. Finally, once opened, cork then store your white wine back in your wine cellar or closet if you have one. But if you don't, don't worry, placing it in your refrigerator is a suitable way to keep it good for anywhere from three to five days.
