Sicily and Sardinia Host the Best of Italy’s Island Wines – Part II (Sicily)












Verona (PRWEB) February 21, 2012

The largest Mediterranean island, Sicily is a wine continent in itself. Home to a plethora of different wineries with more than 330 cellars, styles, varietals and soils, the island offers something for every palate. With some 120,000ha of vines, more than Bordeaux, Australia, South Africa or Germany, the terroirs ranges from oceanic slopes to the lava-spitting vicinities of Mount Etna. Resulting in interesting enologic challenges as well as fascinating results for the consumer taste buds.

Sicily experienced a long period of over-production translating into a volume output rivaling Veneto or Emilia-Romagna. Wineries took advantage of EU intervention schemes, which encouraged them to distil wines instead of bringing them onto the market. A shift towards more quality in the mid-1990s changed the image of Sicily’s wines significantly and also led to greater recognition of the continent’s indigenous wines. The island is known for its fortified Marsala wine (a style between Madeira and Sherry), which is once again becoming fashionable. Though internationally best known is probably the native varietal Nero d’Avola (a.k.a. Calabrese), even if many other varietals can be discovered.

Planeta was savvy and innovative as the winery aided the island’s image immensely. Since its establishment in 1995, Planeta produces wines true to the local terroir on some 364ha of vineyard with remarkable results. Be it in the sustainable eco-friendly methods or the style of blending local varietals with international ones, several of the winery’s 16 different wines have gained recognition far beyond Italy and continue to impress with their quality.

Another ardent innovator and promoter of the island’s viticulture is the esteemed Duca di Salaparuta winery, which was founded in 1824 by Prince Guiseppe Alliata. The group also comprises the brands Corvo (1824), which was responsible for bottling the first wine on the island and Florio, which date back to 1833 and exports a delicious Marsala. Following a large modernization process, Duca di Salaparuta accentuates its commitment to improve its wines, including the annual 15,000 bottles of Duca Enrico, “the first wine made exclusively from Nero d’Avola grapes, a variety which is now seen as symbolic of Sicilian wine production.” The company held by Illva Saronno Holding S.p.a. is also working on small-scale production (3,000 bottles) at Mount Etna, where they seek to cultivate Nawàri, the first Pinot Nero wine from that area.

To understand the devoted, diverse personalities of the Sicilian wine world one has to also mention José Rallo. She is not only the face and co-owner of Donnafugata, but also a jazz singer and culture vulture in her leisure time. Recently decorated with the International Profilo Donna Award 2011, she keeps on promoting the winery with her parents Giacomo and Gabriella and brother Antonio. According to Mrs. Rallo the success of the Donnafugata (or ‘woman in flight’) is rooted in the family’s consistent, long-term vision and dedication to innovation. According to José Rallo, women have certain qualities that make a company’s success easier: intuition and versatility, empathy and creativity, flexibility and a sense for the future. “In the past years we invested in indigenous varieties, planting experimental vineyards. In 2009 at Contessa Entellina, we planted 19 different varieties for a total of 30 biotypes: 4 of Nero d’Avola, 3 of Catarratto, 2 of Ansonica and 1 for some ‘relic’- almost disappeared varieties, including Nocera, Vitrarolo and Alzano. The 2012 vintage is going to be the first harvest with micro-vinification test.” The winery that attracts 11,000 visitors per year is not only known for its delicious wines and sustainable practices, but also its beautiful bottle labels, which have been on the market for nearly 20 years. José Rallo’s view is that “art is better than any description, and Sicily is a land of colors, images and artistic inheritance.”

Another star of Sicily is Tasca d’Almerita. The winery, which was founded in 1830, has just been declared “Italian Winery of the Year” in Italy’s bestselling wine guide, Vini d’Italia 2012, published by Gambero Rosso. The premium wines Rosso del Conte and Nozze d’Oro have been since their creations in the 1970’s showcases of the native Nero d’Avola grape and the excellence of Sicilian wines. The company’s five estates Regaleali, Capofaro, Whitaker, Tascante and Sallier de La Tour are all spread out over the island and thus comprise a large range of different wine types. Lucio’s sons Giuseppe and Alberto Tasca d’Almerita continue their father’s pursuit of quality and passion through consistent hard work. The motto of the winemakers is simple: “Be humble, be pro-active and be inspired by those who have been successful before you.“ In 2012, the winery sees a further introduction of sustainable practices including the SOStain project – an independently monitored program designed to efficiently use natural resources and implement low-impact environmental strategies so that the winemakers can continue to enjoy the production of high qualities grapes.

Sicily is also the birthplace of the fine wines of brothers Alberto and Diego Cusumano. Despite being present for only 11 years in the wine world, the wines of the 399ha estate enjoy already tremendous recognition. Diego Cusumano finds that “in 2012 the consumer will take special care of the price/quality ratio. Our belief is that due to our hard work and steady improvements of the quality, consumers have great trust in Cusumano wines.” The winemaker himself enjoys all kinds of wines: “I like all wines without special preferences, because good wines are the result of serious work by serious producers.” Visitors of the Grand Tasting OperaWine in Verona on 24th of March will be able to enjoy just that: the result of serious work by serious producers.

Tampa Bay Bathroom Remodeling Company Announces Best Practices for Using Walk-in Baths for Aging Population

Tampa Bay Bathroom Remodeling Company Announces Best Practices for Using Walk-in Baths for Aging Population










Tampa, Florida (PRWEB) January 09, 2012

Over the next two decades, more than 7,000 Americans will turn 65 every day. As the population ages, more and more will be looking for solutions that will help them stay in their homes. One such solution is the addition of a walk-in bath.

“So many people stop taking baths and use only showers because it is hard for them to step up over the side of the tub,” says Jeff Stavish, vice president of Lifestyle Remodeling, which specializes in walk-in bathtubs. “There’s no reason people should have to give up pleasures like taking a bath simply because they get older.”

Lifestyle Remodeling has earned the Certified Aging in Place Specialists (CAPS) designation from the National Association of Home Builders. They offer a wide range of options, including “regular” and “hybrid” walk-in tubs. The main differences between the two types of walk-in tubs are size and opening direction of the tub door. On a regular tub, the door opens inward; on hybrid tubs, the door opens outward.

“We offer several varieties of hybrid tubs,” says Stavish. “For those who are already using walkers, or are in wheelchairs or scooters, the hybrid walk-in tub is a perfect solution. For our customers who are experiencing declining mobility, we suggest they look at the hybrid now so they will be prepared for their future.”

Lifestyle Remodeling installs Rane Bathing Systems and American Standard tubs. Rane, based in Sparta, Tennessee, is the leading manufacturer of institutional safety tubs and residential walk-in tubs and has more than 30 years experience. American Standard has been in business for more than 140 years and their tubs are manufactured in the U.S.

“When you purchase a walk in bathtub or hydrotherapy system from Lifestyle Remodeling,” says Lifestyle president Cenk (Jank) Sulker, “you will have the satisfaction of working with a company that looks after your every need. We handle your purchase, installation completion and everything in between. We take great pride in our workmanship and believe that a satisfied customer is our greatest asset.”

In addition to offering walk-in tubs, Lifestyle Remodeling offers sunrooms, patio enclosures, lanai enclosures, three and four season sunrooms, and custom glass rooms.

To find out more about this exceptional company, call (813) 448-3771 or visit their websites, http://www.lifestyleremodeling.com and http://www.walkinbathtubsfl.com.

About Lifestyle Remodeling

Lifestyle Remodeling is a family-owned and operated company with a general contracting license and an A rating with the Better Business Bureau. They specialize in sunrooms, patio enclosures, lanai enclosures, four season rooms, replacement windows and walk-in bathtubs.

Grout Shield Enters Ace Hardware, Do it Best and True Value Stores Small Hometown Business Reaches National Recognition

Grout Shield Enters Ace Hardware, Do it Best and True Value Stores Small Hometown Business Reaches National Recognition










North Bay Shore, New York (PRWEB) December 08, 2011

After appearing on three remarkably successful national televised HSN broadcasts, Grout Shield President and Developer Michael Stracuzza has secured his Grout Shield product line on the shelves of Ace Hardware, Do it Best and True Value hardware stores across Long Island, as well as Greschlers Hardware in Brooklyn. Stracuzza, who developed Grout Shield in 1996, also has sights on expanding throughout the Southeast and Southwest of the United States with regional managers already in place.

Additionally, Grout Shield has helped so many victims of the declining economy by encouraging individuals who have lost their jobs to launch their own home-based businesses.

“There are more than 200 people who have contacted me and started their own business,” Michael says. “Many of them are people who were let go and couldn’t find a job and are now making an income of up to $ 60,000 a year.”

After Cheryl Hugenschmidt personally used Grout Shield on her bathroom, she was astounded how easily and beautifully her bathroom grout returned to looking like the day the tile was first laid. Using the Grout Shield line of products, she decided to launch Once and Again Pristine Grout in her Upstate New York hometown.

“Mike mentored me and guided me through what supplies I needed to get started, Cheryl says. “Grout Shield represents the heart and soul of good solid American business ethics and knowing I had quality products available to use, Mike there with solid answers to any of my questions and noticing that dirty grout was simply everywhere made it a given that I should take the steps to start a business. All I needed to add was my determination and some good old elbow grease.”Michael also encourages Mom & Pop hardware and variety store owners to carry the Grout Shield family of products and earn a nice profit margin.

As Grout Shield continues to build its path as a leader in home repair, Michael is ready to take on the next challenge to find the “worst kitchen or bathroom in the United States” and transform it to look like new.

“I am seeking to do the worst kitchen or tile/grout bathroom makeover in the United States,” Michael says. “I want to show the public how you can completely change the look of your kitchens or bathrooms for under $ 50.”

Set to head back to HSN this winter for another demonstration of Grout Shield, Michael continues to be excited to show viewers how Grout Shield brings dull, ugly tile/grout work back to new in just one easy application. “With just one kit, you can restore any tile floor or wall back to a clean, uniform look with easier maintenance and greater stain resistance,” Michael says.

Since 1996, Grout Shield has been providing customers with professional results. Grout Shield is a less expensive alternative to major home renovations and comes in different colors, including custom colors. Grout Shield can also be applied to existing grout, allowing homeowners to change the grout color and appearance of their tile floors, walls, counter tops and back splashes.

San Francisco electric transformer supplier, LiveWire Electrical Supply is proud to announce that it is once again the recipient of the prestigious Best of the Best Award from The Electrical Distributor (TED), the leading magazine of the industry. The award is important for so many reasons, but particularly for three.

First, the acknowledgment comes after a thorough vetting process, which evaluates websites on rigorous criteria. Because of this reputation, the awards have, in recent years, become a way to benchmark a company’s efforts against those of its peers.

Second, trust is the absolute most important element in Internet-based commerce. With identity theft and Internet crimes on the rise, electrical contractors need an online electrical supplier they can trust unequivocally. This award assures buyers that they can trust LiveWire Electrical Supply explicitly.

Third, since this is the second Best of the Best award bestowed upon LiveWire Electrical Supply for its website, it is further acknowledgement that http://www.livewiresupply.com is the industry’s single best website. It provides electrical contractors and other buyers with the most thorough selection, impeccable customer service, lowest available prices and overall commitment to excellence in the industry.

“This two-peat is certainly sweet,” said Adam Messner, CEO of LiveWire Electrical Supply. “We’re incredibly honored to receive what is undeniably the most coveted award in the electrical supply industry. And we take the acknowledgement seriously. TED has honored us with the award, and we are committed to holding up our end of the bargain and continuing to make http://www.livewiresupply.com even better.”

Leite’s Culinaria Wins 2005 World Food Media Award for Best Food and/or Drink Web Site

Leite’s Culinaria Wins 2005 World Food Media Award for Best Food and/or Drink Web Site












New York, NY, (PRWEB) November 13, 2005

In a ceremony on Oct. 29th, Leite’s Culinaria beat out an esteemed list of competitors, including BBC Food (UK), KQED’s Jacques Pepin: Fast Food My Way (USA), Cuisine (New Zealand), and Gastronomic Meditations (USA), to win the 2005 World Food Media Award for Best Food and/or Drink Web Site. The award, a golden ladle, was one of 29 given to food professional worldwide in 25 categories.

The food and drink equivalent of the movie Oscars, the World Food Media Awards presented by Wolf Blass wines celebrated the work of recipients from around the world, with gold Ladles going to UK, USA, Australia, New Zealand, Belgium, and Canada. A highlight of the biennial Tasting Australia festival, the Awards presentation took place at the Hyatt Regency Hotel, Adelaide.

Publisher and editor-in-chief David Leite was surprised by win. “When you consider we were up against some of the giants in the industry with huge budgets,” he says, “it’s astonishing that we won. It was quite a coup for us.”

Food editor Linda Avery surmises as to why Leite’s Culinaria picked up the top prize in the Web-site category: “We’re the only food site that I know of that includes feature-length articles and columns; food history pieces; resources; and recipes from best-selling cookbooks, the James Beard House, and Portugal, which is from where David’s family hails. We also have a pool of 120 recipe testers throughout the world who test many of the dishes we post. So the site has something for everything.”

While the honor was celebrated by the editors and staff of the site, Leite decided to turn the win into an opportunity for other writers by creating the Leite’s Culinaria Scholarship for Narrative Food Writing. The $ 1,000 award toward registration and lodging for the 2006 Symposium for Professional Food Writers at The Greenbrier, in White Sulphur Springs, WV, will be awarded to a novice food writer (writing for fewer than five years) whose work is narrative in nature. The goal of the scholarship is to promote literary writing (essays, food novels or narrative nonfiction) that has a strong, expressive voice and a unique perspective on the world of food.

“I wanted to give back,” says Leite. “The World Food Media Award shined a spotlight on us, and we wanted to share that with up-and-coming writers so they can get exposure, too.”

How to prepare for any move is also important so the following moving tips will help make the move a stress-free event.


     Notify doctors, dentists and schools for children.
    Notify utilities of the date to discontinue services and supply them with the new address.
    Do not pack any flammables in boxes such as paint remover, gasoline, liquid fertilizer, bleach or spray cans.
Mark fragile stickers on boxes containing glassware or delicate items.
Make sure all tops of boxes are taped and closed for easy packing so things don’t fall out.
When packing a room avoid mixing things from other rooms in the boxes for easier unpacking.
When packing dishes always stand plates on end and glassware upward.
On moving day ensure all doors and hallways are cleared so movers can have clear pathway to bring furniture out.
Clear out unwanted things –hold garage sale a couple weeks before the move date.
When packing for a move, begin packing items not immediately needed well in advance as it’s nice to jump start the packing endeavor by not leaving everything to the end.
When at the new location make sure someone is there to direct to where the furniture goes – this will save a lot of time.
Important papers, jewelry, etc. should be packed and kept with the you.

Concierge PA Inc. Aims to Make Dallas #1 in the Best Cities to Work in the U. S. Rankings; Make Lifestyle and Work-life Benefits as Commonplace as the Employee Break Room

Concierge PA Inc. Aims to Make Dallas #1 in the Best Cities to Work in the U. S. Rankings; Make Lifestyle and Work-life Benefits as Commonplace as the Employee Break Room










Dallas, TX (PRWEB) August 18, 2011

Concierge PA, Inc., a U. S. corporation based in Dallas which provides lifestyle and work-life benefits to corporate and government organizations, is embarking on a campaign to team with companies headquartered in Dallas and make the city number one in the U. S. for employee satisfaction and loyalty. By the end of 2012, Concierge PA hopes to have over 50 percent of Dallas’ largest companies providing their employees lifestyle and work-life benefits, and eventually make them as commonplace as employee break rooms.

As a lifestyle and work-life benefits provider, Concierge PA partners with businesses to offer their employees with concierge and personal assistance services which not only include the more general options such as laundry valet, personal shopping, and mobile automotive services, but also more custom solutions such as home valet services, and “wait in line” services where a Concierge PA employee actually waits in line or at an employee’s home to conduct business transactions on behalf of the employee.

Win-win and Cost-effective for Employers and Employees

The services provided by Concierge PA prove to be a win-win for both employees and employers as employees do not have to use annual leave and employers see an increase in morale and a decrease in absenteeism. The services provided by Concierge PA are also extremely cost-effective for both employer and employee alike.

“For most employers, offering the lifestyle and work-life benefits provided by Concierge PA involves a small monthly fee to provide an onsite corporate concierge. If they decide to only offer virtual services, there is no charge at all to the employer,” said Robin Lee Nichols, Managing Director of Concierge PA. “The results in increased employee morale, retention, satisfaction and loyalty are in contrast huge to the employer.”

Nichols also said, “If an employee has a household emergency and needs a plumber, most of them require the resident to be at home for a window of 4 hours. That can translate to being over $ 80.00 in annual leave an employee would have to use to personally wait for the service. Concierge PA provides that service at a lower cost to that employee and allows the employee not have to use his/her annual leave, and remain productive at work.”

Concierge PA’s lifestyle and work-life benefits are designed to directly impact the employer and employee. Research on companies from Google to Southwest Airlines and from organizations such as Glassdoor has proven that by providing lifestyle and work-life benefits, employers are seen as employee-focused; and employee morale, loyalty and productivity increases as absenteeism decreases.

Killington, VT (Vocus) December 8, 2008

SpaFinder, Inc., the global spa resource, has announced that New Life Hiking Spa has been named among the top-10 best spas in the world for Best for Boutique Spa in its sixth annual SpaFinder Readers’ Choice Awards. Based on votes submitted by readers of SpaFinder publications, including Spafinder.com, the awards represent the most complete consumer assessment of the global spa market available today. Nearly 250,000 votes–a record for the Reader’s Choice Awards–were cast for favorite spas by continent, country, region and across 25 categories.

“Now in its sixth year, our Readers’ Choice Awards have become the industry’s premier award program – the spa world’s answer to the Academy Awards,” said SpaFinder, Inc. President Susie Ellis. “Now that there are nearly 13,000 hotel, resort and destination spas operating worldwide, for New Life Hiking Spa to be singled out by our readers is a significant honor.”

New Life Hiking Spa won in four categories for 2008. The categories are Best for Affordability, Best for Boutique Spa, Best for Weight Loss and Best for Hiking.

Ten Spas were chosen Best for Boutique Spa in the Prestigious 6th Annual SpaFinder Readers’ Choice Awards. The ten spas chosen were The Ashram (California), Cal-a-Vie (California), COMO Shambhala Estate at Begawan Giri (Indonesia), Fitness Ridge Resort and Spa (Utah), The Hillcrest Victorian Inn, a Valenova Spa (Canada), Mii amo, a destination spa at Enchantment (Arizona), New Life Hiking Spa (Vermont), The Raj (Iowa), Ten Thousand Waves (New Mexico) and We Care Spa Juice Fasting and Spiritual Retreat (California).

To help spa consumers identify the best spas for their unique goals, SpaFinder asked its readers and web visitors to name their picks for the best spas in 25 specific categories – from “best accommodations” and “best cuisine,” to “best for men” and “best urban hotel spa.” New categories this year included “Best Spa Therapist” and “Best Spa Manager.” In all, ballots were cast for more than 1,500 different spa properties worldwide.
