That’s right, maple season, also often referred to as sugar season, has begun. Sap from maple trees is collected during the tapping season, which is between February and April with March being the prime month for maple production. These are the months when temperatures are above freezing during the day and below freezing at night, making the sap flow. Maple trees should be at least 30+ years old before they are tapped. A 40-year-old sugar maple tree will produce about 10 gallons of sap per season.

As winter draws to a close, let's send it off in style! How about hosting a red wine tasting party with your nearest and dearest? Sure, white and red wines are like those trusty pals we hang out with all year round. But when Jack Frost comes nipping at our noses, there's something irresistibly cozy about curling up with a glass of robust red. Reds have this awesome superpower of warming us from the inside out, courtesy of their higher alcohol content, rich tannin levels, and often fuller body. Talk about a winter warmer! The secret sauce? It's all in the skin! Red grapes come with thick, colorful skins that infuse the wine with a spectrum of hues, tantalizing aromas, and flavors. Unlike in white winemaking, where the grape skins usually get the boot. And let's not forget about tannins. These bitter compounds, which find their way into the wine from grape skins, seeds, and oak barrels, give reds their unique astringency and mouth-feel. Reds are the undisputed tannin titans, boasting way more tannins than whites. So, why not bid farewell to winter by exploring the warm, diverse world of red wines? Gather your friends or family, pop open some bottles, and toast to the end of the season! Suggested Wines and Varietals Here are a few suggested wines and different varieties for a tasting. Not included is Cabernet Sauvignon, a rich full-bodied red wine that is extremely popular and is grown in almost every wine-growing region in the world. Since it tops the list of red varieties, you and your guests are probably familiar with it already. A tasting gives you and your guests the opportunity to explore new wines that you otherwise might not try. Who knows … you may come across a new favorite in the process!
