Summarize the following:
This beautiful blend from Southern France is one of the easiest and most drinkable French wines to pair. It is light, generally fruity, and mild enough to work with almost anything. If you want something foreign but not wallet breaking, go to the CdR. Pronounced "Coat Do Rone." There are actually white versions of the CdR as well, which match well with fishes. They are less common, but still a good choice for a white. Of course, this pairs very well with almost all Italian dishes, as it is light, acidic, and peppered with light hints of spice, cherry, and even tobacco. It may be blended with a Cabernet to make it a little heartier, as well. Note, however, that merlots are popular and can vary substantially. For example, a bottle of Merlot is usually bold and fruity. However, Merlot aged with oak may have a smoky taste as well. They are best from France and the Northern US, and pair with anything, much like the Cotes-du-Rhone, but with a slightly bolder and more noticeable taste. This is the famous Napa Valley grape, and it leads to a very dense wine with layers of currant, dark berries, and even olives. Pair this with a rich, substantial, and hearty dish for a beautiful combination and strong, flavorful meal. If you're aiming for a bargain, grab a Cab Sauv, as it is often the cheapest wine with the best results, since Cabernet grapes are easy to grow These wines can be made either on the lighter side or rich and dense. They come from a spicy, peppery grape, and this note shines through to pair well with similarly peppery foods. This French and Argentinian wine is strong, spicy, and tart. It matches well with casual, rich, and oily/greasy foods, making it a good pair for tailgating, BBQs, or pizza night The Cabernet Franc is known for its notes of blueberry and violets, as well as an earthy, almost coffee-like scent. It is high in tannins, giving it a full-body feeling and a touch of bitterness. Matches well with stews, red meats, and smoky dishes. Usually found with hints of raspberry, cherry, raisin, and more, Zinfandels have a uniquely hearty but fruity taste, making them great wines to drink on their own or to pair with rich meals. They are highly alcoholic, meaning they may overpower lighter dishes if you're not careful. The Pinot grape is notoriously difficult to grow, making good Pinots expensive. But when a winemaker gets it right, the grape yields a complex, rich, and nuanced wine. Know that you should spend at least $20 a bottle to get your money's worth, if not more. Cheaper pinots aren't worth it. The Pinot is a complex wine for rich, complex dishes. But it goes equally well with desert, such as a decadent chocolate.

summary: Try out a Cotes-du-Rhone for an inexpensive but wide-ranging red. Look to Sangiovese for a bright, acidic Italian wine. Go with big, fruity merlots for another easy to pair, agreeable wine. Pick up the classic Cabernet Sauvignon for a rich, layered, and full-bodied red. Grab a dense, peppery Syrah for a strongly flavored, spicy red. Drink a bold, spicy Malbec to mix with casual foods like pizza and barbecue. Grab a Cabernet Franc for an earthy, spicy, and rich red. Look to the fruity Zinfandel for a rich, berry-heavy wine. Get a high-priced, but extravagant, Pinot Noir when you want to splurge.

Summarize the following:
This includes making sure storm windows are installed and closed in place if you have them. Windows should be latched. Open them during the day if the temperature outside is higher than the temperature indoors. Keep your windows air-tight. You may want to purchase removable window caulk or plastic to better seal them. At a minimum, stuff a towel or shirt in front of any noticeable leaks. This will keep the cold air out, and the warmth from the sun will heat your house without cold air coming in. You could also cover your windows with clear plastic sheets. A set of heavy curtains can block heavy drafts of air. Open them when the sun is shining and close them when it's not. Check around the door frame and also under the door. You may want to buy weather stripping or a door sweep. Again, at minimum, make a draft dodger or stuff a towel at the bottom of the door. Check for obstructions (e.g. plants, sheds) that might keep the sun's rays from reaching your house. Remove items leaning against walls on the sunny side of your house. (Ideally, put them back again at night for additional insulation). The closed door makes that room another barrier between you and the frigid outdoors. It also stops air from circulating as much, which reduces heat loss. Home improvement stores sell magnetic register covers to "shut off" forced air furnace registers in unused rooms. That way when the heater does click on, only the registers in the rooms you use will pump out heat. This makes for more efficient use of the heater. Check that all heat registers are adjusted open, especially where plumbing pipes might freeze. Unblock cold air returns in heated rooms (they may be blocked with furniture or rug) so heat can circulate efficiently. Rugs and carpets help prevent heat loss through the floor. They are generally warmer to the touch than wood or stone, and so offer a warmer surface to walk on. A lot of heat escapes through the attic, as warm air rises and cold air sinks. Make sure that your attic has enough insulation. Cooking can help you to keep warm as an activity, through the oven's warmth and by eating something nice and warm after. Bake cookies or a pie. Your oven will help to dry the air and heat the kitchen. The kitchen will be warm while you are cooking, and then you can have a great home cooked meal too! After, leave the oven on and open the oven door to let some heat in the house. Only leave the oven on for ten to twenty minutes, so you don't waste energy. Limit cooking that gives off steam, as this will increase the humidity in the air and make your house damp. Lowering humidity in the wintertime helps you to feel warmer. Water vapor (humidity) has a greater heat capacity (ability to absorb heat) than dry air. As a result, humid air feels colder in winter than does dry air and it takes more heat to make damp air feel comfortable. A candle/candles can produce a lot of heat, just be mindful of where they are placed and do not leave them unattended. A trip to most any grocery store or discount store can provide you with a number of candles cheap! Use a candle heater. It doesn't create as much heat as a fireplace or real heater, but will create warmth very cheaply. The average incandescent light bulb releases up to 95% of its energy as heat rather than light, making it an extremely efficient heat source. Compact Fluorescent and LED lights are not helpful in warming your room, so save them for warmer days and use the money you saved to pay the heat bill.
summary: Close all of your windows properly. Use cheap, transparent shower curtains over the windows that receive sunlight. Put up curtains. Seal your doors. Let as much sun hit your house as possible. Close off any unused rooms. Put down a rug or carpet. Add insulation in the attic and the crawl space. Cook. Light a candle. Turn on some lights.
