Give Your Child The Best Birthday Ever With a Luxurious New York Limousine

July 29, 2012

At a certain age, children reach an age where their birthday parties become increasingly difficult to plan. Usually when children reach the preteen years, they lose interest in the balloons, silly hats, and birthday cake at Chuck E. Cheese. If you find yourself in this situation, worrying how you’re going to plan a great birthday party that will delight your child and her friends, consider hiring a New York limousine to make her birthday perfect.

Once children reach preteen age, they start testing their boundaries and assuming more adult roles. They become interested in and exploring future careers, and have a desire to take on greater responsibilities in order to have more individual freedom. Hiring a limo appeals to this phase of a child’s development. An elegant limousine is the realm of adults, your young party-goers will be thrilled to experience this very adult atmosphere.

Every limo is driven by a highly-competent, professional driver who has extensive knowledge of his operating area. Each driver is highly-trained and expected to maintain his skill, so you can make sure your party will get from point A to point B in complete safety.

Your kids will love listening to their favorite music or watching movies while sitting on plush leather seats, or waving at passersby from the sunroof. They can sip sparkling grape juice or soda from champagne flutes, allowing them to play pretend and try out this grown-up event.

One thing is for sure, when you hire a limousine for your preteen or teenager’s birthday, you will create a party experience that she and her friends will be beaming about for months.

Know Your Wine Glasses For Your Upcoming Long Island Wine Tours

May 8, 2012

If you’re planning on taking one or several long island wine tours this spring and you’re not exactly a wine expert yet, it may help you to know the different types of glasses wine can come in, and their specific functions. Impress your family, friends, and fellow tour members with your extensive wine glass knowledge!

Wine Glass Material
The best wine glasses are made from either crystal or very thin and preferably blown glass, and must be clear enough to appreciate the color of the wine. The reason behind this is that anything too thick is thought to distort the fine taste; a delicate glass for a delicate flavor. Also thick glass creates a rather thick lip on the rim of the glass, making it harder to properly sip the wine.

Red Wine
The red wine glass has several distinctive features: A very round shape and wide opening to allow the wine to be properly aired out, as well as leaving room for the taster’s nose to fully appreciate the bouquet.

White Wine
The white wine glass is more “U” shaped, as well as taller and more upright. This allows the aromas to be released while maintaining the wine’s cooler temperature. White wine glasses should usually always come with a stem, since you don’t want your hand to come
in contact with the bowl; your body temperature will heat it up.

Sparkling Wine
Sparkling wine glasses are often called “flutes” because of their elongated and upright shape. This allows the carbonation to be retained and the flavor to be captured for the taster’s enjoyment. These glasses are used for champagne as well.

Dessert Wine
To serve dessert wine, the glass is usually smaller in order to allow the wine to flow to the back of the mouth to avoid being overwhelmed with the sweetness. Dessert wines also typically have much higher alcohol content, so serving in a smaller glass is usually a good idea.

What Are You Doing This Weekend? How About A Long Island Wine Tour!

April 3, 2012

If you are struggling to come up with weekend plans, exploring Long Island’s many wineries makes for a fantastic excursion. The Long Island wine country is one of the youngest wine regions in the world, and is quickly growing in popularity as a dominant wine haven. New York is edging up to the number three spot for best wine states, right behind California and Oregon. In 1973, this region only had 17 acres of vineyards. Today, they are estimated to be more than 3,000 acres producing some of the best wines the world has ever tasted.

Stretching 120 miles into the Atlantic, the region’s maritime climate, soil characteristics and island geography make for excellent conditions to grow the world’s best varietals. Over fifty wine producers on the island are open for public tours and tastings.

Since Long Island is a suburb of New York, the wineries can easily be accessed by car, but the best way to tour is with a professional wine tour limo service. You will be able to sample your wines as you are driven in perfect luxury from winery to winery, perusing the best Merlots, Cabs, Chardonnays, and Rieslings the region has to offer. You will get a glimpse into how the wine is actually produced, and what climactic and production factors give it it’s unique flavor.

Every Long Island wine tour service is run by a licensed and professional driver, so you can taste as many wines as you want! You will ride in absolute comfort on plush leather seats, watching the gorgeous landscape as it passes by your window. Or if you prefer, every limo has flat screen TVs and an incredible sound system to complement your winery experience.
