I can teach you how to taste the difference between a high quality Champagne and your average bottle of bubbles in just three steps

I should know I used to work at Christie's wine auctions and it was one of my jobs there to be able to tell the

difference between say a high quality Champagne and

your average bottle of bubbles

the first thing you need to be able to do to taste the difference between a

Champagne and a sparkling wine is to be able to know the difference between the two. The difference between a Champagne

is that it's made in the region of Champagne in France.

and the other thing is that it's made in a very specific method called the methode champenoise

Now you don't really need to know all the specifics of how it's made

But I will tell you is the biggest difference is that a true champagne is made when the fermentation

Is the thing that gives it its extra bubbles and that happens inside the bottle itself.

So imagine the difference between a bottle of champagne that has the bubbles produced and

fermented into the wine

versus a bottle of wine that has the bubbles just injected into the bottle.

It's kind of like the difference between when you're cooking and you season the cooking all along the way adding the salt and the spices

versus you get all the way through the dish and you just all add all those things on top.

It's a very different thing, right? How does this affect the stuff in your glass? Well in a Champagne those bubbles are

seamlessly integrated into the wine and they're just part of the wine itself. In a bottle of sparkling wine

It's as though somebody added them in and you know what they say easy to go in easy to go out.

So those bubbles don't really last as long in your glass.

Step number one is you want to assess the bubbles - you want to take a look at these two wines and see:

Is there kind of like a frothy rim on one of them or the bubbles very big?

do they start out just kind of bubbling up very vigorously and quickly and then do they die very quickly?

Probably a sign that you have a lower quality sparkling wine in place.

This quality of the bubbles is what I would call the

finesse of a wine and it's one of the ways that you can tell the difference between a higher quality wine and a lower quality

wine. Step number two. What can you smell?

Does it smell like a really grapey aroma that hits you over the head?

Well, you might have a bottle of cold duck my friend if that's the case. Now on the other hand - Do you have a wine

that has a lot of nuanced smells

Are there a lot of things that you can smell and you can almost maybe not even

identify all the aromas?

But if you could maybe you would smell some golden apple some toast

Maybe even some nutty notes. This is the sign that you might have a Champagne.

So this, my friend, is what I call complexity in a wine.

So a wine can have more complex smells and this also is one of the tell-tale signs of a higher quality wine

versus a lower quality wine. Then for the final analysis step number three: we finally get to taste the wine.

Okay

so for the taste of the wine

what you want to do is take a small taste

and pay attention to the bubbles again from step number one go back and confirm that

finesse quality and then the other thing to pay attention to is something called the length,

which is just a fancy way of saying - how long does that flavor last in your mouth after you sip the wine?

So what you actually do is super simple

After you swallow the wine how many

seconds

does that flavor last in your mouth? One difference you're going to find in these two wines is that the champagne is

probably going to have a longer length to it. Hopefully it does.

So now all you have to think about when you pick up that glass of Champagne is

are the bubbles

seamlessly integrated, are they fine? Do they last? Do I smell a fair amount of complexity?

Do I smell a lot of things in that wine? And then the piece de resistance is:

Do those flavors last in my mouth? Does it all get come into one complete package?

If so you probably have a high-quality

Champagne. This is the difference between a bottle of Champagne and an average bottle of sparkling wine.

Let me give you one other pointer

which is that the quality of sparkling wine all over the world has become

higher and higher and many producers who make Cava and other sparkling wines, they're starting to use that methode champenoise that the champagne producers do.

So you will find sometimes that there are going to be sparkling wines out there

that aren't Champagne that may stump you and trust me - they would probably stump the majority of wine

connoisseurs too. So don't worry if that happens to you.

It's actually a really lovely thing that the quality of winemaking just gets better and better over time

Remember wine is really about your own personal taste

Hopefully these tips will be able to help you discern

what is a high-quality wine from a lower quality wine.

And with my guidance you are going to be able to taste wine

like a wine connoisseur and be able to get more and more enjoyment out of every why you taste.

The Difference Between Outer and Middle Ear Infections - Duration: 2:05.

Today I want to talk about the difference of what's called a swimmer's ear or an external

ear infection and a more typical middle ear infection or what we often think of as just

ear infections with little kids.

So, swimmer's ear or external ear infection involves the space between the external ear,

that opening, and the tympanic membrane or the eardrum, along that canal itself.

What happens with that is that canal which is lined with skin starts getting really inflamed

and infected.

Kids can sometimes manifest it as having pain when they chew or when they're talking or

classically they may have pain right here.

The best way to treat that initially is to use some topical ear drops which can get a

concentrated antibiotic right to that source right there.

When it gets really bad then a pediatrician will say why don't we have you go and see

ENT because there's just no way for those drops to get in, and at times we'll go ahead

and access the ear take a look at it, we even have a couple of special instruments in our

office to be able to take a look, and we can do some more treatment there and then at that

time and recommend a good course of treatment afterwards.

The more classic ear infection is what we call a middle ear infection and that's where

pus and fluid builds up behind the eardrum, or what we call the tympanic membrane.

That typically occurs when we start to have upper respiratory symptoms, a cough, a cold,

lots of snotty nose, and at that point as symptoms continue to get worse many parents

will go see either their pediatrician or they'll go see urgent care.

There your health care provider will take a look at the ears and look for if there's

a red, pussed out, bulging eardrum, which is the classic signs for having an

ear infection and at that time may prescribe an oral antibiotic.

Ear infections are very common, so if you have concerns if your child has an ear infection,

be it an external ear infection or a middle ear infection, give us a call, come on in

and we'll be happy to take care of them.
