Time for a Spring Garden party, try it Italian style with a Pinot Grigio. In Italy, it’s not a party without Pinot. The pinot is crisp with medium-body and delicious hints of pear. It’s beautiful choice as a stand-alone wine. #GardenParty#Pinot#pinotgrigio#WineRacksbyMarcus
Did you know there is a May Wine? : A still white wine with woodruff flavoring, often containing fruit slices. Since strawberries are in season at that time of year, they are often floated in the drink. #MayWine#WineRacksByMarcus

When pouring wine - There are five 5 oz glasses of wine in a standard 750 ml bottle. This figure assumes you adhere to the standard wine pour of 5 ounces. It’ll be more or less depending on your wine glass pour size. #wine#winepouring#WineRacksbyMarcus
When pouring wine, there’s a secret strategy you can use to hit the perfect wine pour. It’s an invisible measuring stick. On most wine glasses, thanks to the glassmakers, the widest point of a wine glass typically corresponds to the 5- or 6-ounce mark. A perfect pour!
When planning for your wine storage you want to store Wine Bottles Horizontally in a wine rack. Keeping wine on its side helps keep the cork moist, which is key for long-term storage, as a dried out cork can cause seepage and premature aging. #WineRacksbyMarcus#WineRacks
