SUMMARY:California Dreamin' ...about wine!
DESCRIPTION:A History of California Wine in Six Glasses                                       by Kevin Ostrowski \nWhen talking about wine in the United States\, most people immediately think of California\, and with good reason. California wines rival those of anywhere else in the world and\, in some cases\, have been deemed the best in the world; but\, wine in California had humble beginnings. It is a story of religion\, immigration\, hard work\, taking chances and seizing opportunities. \nOn Sunday\, March 7th at 3:30 p.m.\, we will talk about the origins and history of California wine\, how it began\, evolved\, struggled\, and finally flourished. Let us sample some signature brands and toast their successes with “A History of California Wine in Six Glasses”. We will tell the stories of Krug\, Mondavi\, Stag’s Leap\, and Chateau Montelena\, among others — how they got their start and how they built their reputations. \nA short list of representative wines are listed below; but\, the choice of wine for this tasting is left to your discretion. We will talk about each of these wine labels within the scope of this presentation; but\, regardless of what you choose to enjoy (one\, two\, or all six!)\, we will touch upon every one of these labels as our journey wends its way through the winegrowing regions and history of California. We will certainly raise our glass to their founders in the process. \nWhat follows is the list of brands and labels that we will examine. Again\, choose one\, several\, or all\, depending on your taste and budget. Along the way\, we will tell the story of these wines as their aromas and flavors bring California wine history to life\, possibly encouraging you to plan your next trip (when we can once again travel safely) to the vineyards and wineries of The Golden State! \nBuena Vista ~ Chardonnay or Cabernet Sauvignon \nSchramsberg ~ Brut\, or Blanc de Blanc \nCharles Krug ~ Cabernet Sauvignon \nRobert Mondavi ~ Fumé Blanc\, or another Mondavi Label (or\, a very expensive Opus One!!!) \nE&J Gallo — Gallo Family Vineyards ~ Chardonnay\, Cabernet\, Merlot\, Sauvignon Blanc \nChateau Montelena ~ Chardonnay \nStag’s Leap ~ Cabernet Sauvignon (or\, Artemis) \nPlease join us on Sunday\, March 7th at 3:30 p.m. on the Zoom link shown below as we explore the rich history and robust tradition of wine and winemaking in California! Secure one or several bottles of the above-listed representative wines from The Golden State and log onto Zoom for an hour-long whirlwind tour of some of the most prominent labels that firmly established California as what many consider to be North America’s premier wine-growing region.  Zoom details follow. \nTo join “A History of California Wines in Six Glasses”\, please use the following link: \n https://zoom.us/j/98243478140?pwd=WVJYaU9ERVU5VUFaZk9GSUVjSlZzQT09   \n Meeting ID: 982 4347 8140  \nPasscode: 317836  \nOne tap mobile \n+13126266799\,\,98243478140#\,\,\,\,*317836# US (Chicago) \n+16465588656\,\,98243478140#\,\,\,\,*317836# US (New York) \nDial by your location \n+1 312 626 6799 US (Chicago) \n+1 646 558 8656 US (New York) \n+1 301 715 8592 US (Washington DC) \n+1 346 248 7799 US (Houston) \n+1 669 900 9128 US (San Jose) \n+1 253 215 8782 US (Tacoma) \nMeeting ID: 982 4347 8140 \nPasscode: 317836 \nFind your local number: https://zoom.us/u/a1Q8xTu92 \n  \n

SUMMARY:Presque Isle Wine Cellars: Where Pennsylvania Wine Began
DESCRIPTION:There is a town in the northern most part of the northwest corner of Pennsylvania that is named North East (go figure!).  Near this town is where you will find one of the very first wineries licensed in Pennsylvania soon after the Commonwealth’s legislature passed the Limited Winery Act in 1968.  The name of that winery is Presque Isle Wine Cellars. \nPresque Isle Wine Cellars was founded by a man named Doug Moorhead\, who was the first Chairman of the State Grape Marketing Council\, which developed the legislative proposal that became the Pennsylvania Limited Winery Act in 1968.  Doug is often called “The Father of the Pennsylvania Wine Industry”.  It is Doug’s winery that we will feature on Sunday\, March 21st at 3:30 p.m. Eastern during another in our continuing series of PA Wine Society Virtual Wine Tasting events. \nJoining us as co-host\, and representing Presque Isle Wine Cellars is Bob Green\, who is a man of many talents\, including Executive Winemaker at Presque Isle Wine Cellars.  Bob worked in the cellar with Presque Isle founder\, Doug Moorhead\, and trained at Penn State Erie as a benthologist\, a biologist specializing in studying swamp life and ecosystems. This rigorous scientific and laboratory training and experience in tandem with Bob’s winemaking artistry are a powerful combination that has led to many memorable and award-winning wines produced throughout his career.  Bob is a thoughtful and innovative winemaker whose career spans over 35 years of professional experience as a consulting winemaker as well as being a longtime instructor in Hospitality for Mercyhurst University and lead instructor for the Penn State – Berks Workforce Development Winemaking Certificate.  Bob will feature three of his “soon-to-be-released” wines during our upcoming tasting\, as follows: \n The Wines \n 2020 Pinot Blanc \nPresque Isle is one of the very few regional producers that make a varietal Pinot Blanc. This hard-to-find member of the Pinot family is truly a unique experience. The grapes for our Pinot Blanc come from the vineyards of John and Cindy Moorhead and their great care in the vineyard helps create the superb expression this wine has. Fresh aromas of ripe melons rush to the forefront followed by a hint of citrus and wild flowers on the palate. Enjoy this wine with light appetizers\, buttered langoustines\, and any other light seafood. \n 2020 Grüner Veltliner \nG-V is a remarkably complex dry white wine made from one of Austria’s best known traditional grape varieties that grows wonderfully in Lake Erie vineyards.  It exudes characteristic lime and white pepper aromas along with floral and pear notes. This delightful version has a lovely creamy texture\, but also a crisp finish.  G-V is a versatile food-loving wine and goes especially well with vegetable dishes and light meats and complements foods with acidity and spice.  Presque Isle 2019 G-V just won Double Gold at the prestigious 2021 San Francisco Chronicle Wine Competition so we can only imagine how good the 2020 might be. \n 2019 Carmine \nUnique to Lake Erie wineries\, the little known vinifera variety Carmine is a cross of Cabernet Sauvignon\, Merlot and Carignan and it combines the strengths of each into an interesting and delightful medium bodied dry red.  Hints of earthy leather from Cabernet Sauvignon\, smooth black currant from Merlot\, and spicy lemongrass\, sassafras and mint from the Carignan.  Aged 15 months in American Oak\, this deeply colored\, cool climate red is easy on the palate with complex flavors. Finishing with notes of dark chocolate\, it pairs nicely with grilled beef\, pork\, or roast poultry\, and with Cajun or Creole fare. \nOrdering Wines \n\nThe 20% discount price for this 3-pack of wines is $45\, plus your state sales tax\, plus shipping.\nPlease note that Presque Isle Wine Cellars ships to 39 states and the District of Columbia.   \nOrder wines online at www.piwine.com using the Promo Code PWS2021.  Use the search box on the home page and search “PWS2021” the PWS  Sneak Peek Package comes right up for you.   OR you may also call to order – phone 814-725-1314 and ask for the PWS2021 Sneak Peek package.\n\nSo\, order those wines today\, and please join us on Sunday\, March 21st at 3:30 p.m. Eastern for another exciting online wine tasting interlude with the PA Wine Society!   Zoom link and information below. \nZoom Information \n https://zoom.us/j/92313750668?pwd=UkNsa0ZOTkMvVUwwSUU4YkNoeWgvQT09 \nMeeting ID: 923 1375 0668 \nPasscode: 899605 \nOne tap mobile \n+13126266799\,\,92313750668#\,\,\,\,*899605# US (Chicago) \n+16465588656\,\,92313750668#\,\,\,\,*899605# US (New York) \nDial by your location \n+1 312 626 6799 US (Chicago) \n+1 646 558 8656 US (New York) \n+1 301 715 8592 US (Washington DC) \n+1 346 248 7799 US (Houston) \n+1 669 900 9128 US (San Jose) \n+1 253 215 8782 US (Tacoma) \nMeeting ID: 923 1375 0668 \nPasscode: 899605 \nFind your local number: https://zoom.us/u/adpyHSLt6Y \n
