SUMMARY:French Wines Part I ~ Burgundy\, The Rhône Valley\, and Provence
DESCRIPTION:Virtual Wine Tasting ~ A Wine Tour of France – Part 1 \n        Traversing the Wine Regions of Burgundy\, The Rhône Valley\, and Provence \n                   by Marty Cook \n  \nKevin Ostrowski will return on Sunday\, May 2\, 2021 at 03:30 p.m. Eastern/New York time to lead us through this first of a two-part series\, as we explore France by way of its major rivers. \nREGIONS for Part 1   In this session we will float down the Saône and Rhône rivers and broadly look at the wines of Chablis\, the Côte d’Or\, Côte Chalonnaise\, Mâconnais\, and Beaujolais\, through the Rhône Valley and finally landing on the Mediterranean coast of Provence. \nThese are the oldest wine regions in France; not to mention producers of some of the BEST wines of France\, and old-world styles. One day we might jump on a river boat cruise to explore this region from a warm stateroom veranda.  In the meantime\, we can spend a couple Sunday afternoons learning about the area\, its history\, its wine\, and make grand plans for site visits and wines to drink when we get there. \nGRAPES   Pinot Noir\, Chardonnay\, Syrah and Grenache are the stars\, as other grapes play a complementary role\, in the delicious wines of these classic French regions.   To join us in the merriment\, simply secure one or more bottles of wine (red\, white\, or rosé) from any or all of the above-mentioned French wine regions: Burgundy\, the Rhône Valley\, or Provence. \nWINE SHOPPING TIPS   About the shopping – Kevin put together a wine list (because we asked) but readers should appreciate that it’s VERY difficult to go shopping on-line for everyone; given the variables of local availability\, price point\, personal preference\, and 100’s of choices – so PLEASE note these are just some thoughts about possible wines.  This PDF holds some of Kevin’s suggestions\, BUT please note that his bigger message is to “shop the REGION” and find something in your desired price range that interests you.  As we all know\, one need not mortgage the house to find a nice bottle of wine. \nSo\, over the next week\, grab a wine or three\, plan some tasty bites to pair with the wine\, and tune into a great French tour via the Zoom link below.  It’s Sunday\, May 2\, 2021 at 3:30 p.m. Eastern/New York time. We look forward to seeing you then! \nhttps://zoom.us/j/98566537468?pwd=cDZSNlBkRlBCeEo5aTMwbEVPMFpUQT09  \nMeeting ID: 985 6653 7468 \nPasscode: 240530 \nOne tap mobile \n+16465588656\,\,98566537468#\,\,\,\,*240530# US (New York) \n+13017158592\,\,98566537468#\,\,\,\,*240530# US (Washington DC) \nDial by your location \n+1 646 558 8656 US (New York) \n+1 301 715 8592 US (Washington DC) \n+1 312 626 6799 US (Chicago) \n+1 669 900 9128 US (San Jose) \n+1 253 215 8782 US (Tacoma) \n+1 346 248 7799 US (Houston) \nMeeting ID: 985 6653 7468 \nPasscode: 240530 \nFind your local number: https://zoom.us/u/adz1R1OkO2  \n

SUMMARY:French Wines Part II ~ The Loire Valley and Bordeaux
DESCRIPTION:A Wine Tour of France\, Part 2 ~ The Loire Valley and Bordeaux \nVive la France!  If you missed part 1\, mark your calendars now so you don’t miss part 2 on Sunday\, May 16th! \nWe continue our tour of France with Kevin Ostrowski and\, during Part 2 of our series\, we will explore two of France’s other major rivers that are also known for fabulous wines.  The regions of the Loire River Valley are known for stately châteaus and signature wines\, from Chenin Blanc to Cabernet Franc and Sauvignon Blanc.  Next\, we are off to Bordeaux and to the Gironde\, Garrone\, and Dordogne Rivers for probably the most well-known region for fine wine in France. Most in the wine world can rattle off the Grand Cru’s and we will certainly highlight them and their signature blends\, in addition to other delicious wines. \nAs a shopping aid\, Kevin has again researched wines from these regions available through the PLCB system\, and you may click here for a suggestions list.   He’s listed wines by region AND grape Variety (for the Loire Valley) – so you can buy a wine based on its location and/or grape variety.  And same as for our last tour\, some wines in these areas can be EXPENSIVE – the list has a few of those (beyond most of our disposable incomes) but this is information and learning about how much one might expect to pay for what are considered the best wines.  It’s nice to find that those are available in PA.   And\, those price points help us appreciate even more the really good ones we can find at more reasonable price points! \nPlease join us on Sunday\, May 16th at 3:30 p.m. Eastern/New York time for another of Kevin’s fascinating tours!   Zoom link information follows below. \nhttps://zoom.us/j/95493963608?pwd=clQxZjFMYUJ2QjNrMHg4YTRsTCs4QT09 \nMeeting ID: 954 9396 3608\nPasscode: 836378\nOne tap mobile\n+13126266799\,\,95493963608#\,\,\,\,*836378# US (Chicago)\n+16465588656\,\,95493963608#\,\,\,\,*836378# 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: 954 9396 3608\nPasscode: 836378\nFind your local number: https://zoom.us/u/ayqWBXc7b
