(December 2006) Conditioned taste aversion occurs when an animal associates the taste of a certain food with symptoms caused by a toxic, spoiled, or poisonous substance. Generally, taste aversion is developed after ingestion of food that causes nausea, sickness, or vomiting. The ability to develop a taste aversion is considered an adaptive trait or survival mechanism that trains the body to avoid poisonous substances (e.g., poisonous berries) before they can cause harm.
California Oak Chardonnay. This classic Carneros Chardonnay was grown on Schug's own cool-climate Estate vineyard, as well as the Ricci, Cornerstone, Wildcat, Sangiacomo, Leveroni and Iund Vineyards. It was barrel fermented and aged on the lees (sur-lie) in small French oak barrels, with minimal new oak introduced.
Dear Mike, An estate wine can come from many vineyards, as long as all are owned or controlled by the estate winery, while a single-vineyard wine may be made from a vineyard that's not owned by the winery that bottles it. A wine can be both estate-bottled and meet the criteria for a single-vineyard designation. An estate-bottled wine is made entirely from grapes owned by the winery, and the wine is made entirely on the winery's propertyâit doesn't ever leave the property during fermentation, aging, or bottling.
