Monopole

Used most frequently in Burgundy and to a lesser extent in Champagne, a monopole is a vineyard owned entirely by one estate.

You should serve the same amount of a dessert wine as you would a regular wine.

Answer: False.

False. Since dessert wines are so concentrated and luscious, an appropriate serving is smaller--no more than two ounces (about half the standard serving of dry table wine). It’s fine to use white wine glasses or even glasses that are somewhat smaller. That said, the glasses you use should not be tiny--remember you still need room to swirl the wine. Finally, dessert wines should be served chilled, or at coolish room temperature. No dessert wine should ever be served warm.

“Living wines have ups and downs just as people do, periods of glory and dog days, too. If wine did not remind me of real life I would not care about it so much.”
