SUMMARY:Louis Jadot Chardonnay Comparison
DESCRIPTION:Louis Jadot Chardonnay Comparison            by Marty Cook \nPlease join us with Host Joe Via on Sunday\, August 8th at 3:30 pm Eastern/New York Time for an hour long presentation that will explain and lead us through tasting of Chardonnay wines from the Burgundy region of France. Did  you know that a white\, Burgundy wine is\, by definition\, almost always a Chardonnay? Joe will demonstrate this by comparing three white\, Burgundy wines from Maison Louis Jadot that are all made from the Chardonnay grape. With oak\, with-out oak and Pouilly-Fuisse (po͞oˌyē fwēˈsā). Huh? \nThis will be a tasting and discussion about three Louis Jadot white\, Burgundy’s (Chardonnay’s). Three rather different Chardonnay’s.  Joe will discuss how each of these wines has its own distinctions and application for food pairing. The discussion will also touch upon basic Burgundy geography and weather. Grapes will be discussed with maps of the Burgundy region; but\, the discussion will ultimately zero in on the Mâconnais district which is located in the south of the Burgundy wine region in France. The three wines selected will also help us understand the French Appellation of Origin (AOC) system. Like zeroing in on a bulls-eye\, each wine tasted will take us a little closer to the center. And\, what better time to learn more about Chardonnay than on a hot August afternoon! \nAll three of these offerings have standard store availability in Pennsylvania Fine Wine & Good Spirits Stores at affordable prices. \n \n  \nLouis Jadot White Burgundy \nPA LCB Code #6406 \n$18.99 \n“This Bourgogne Chardonnay is a fruity wine showing aromas of flowers and fruit flesh; it is harmonious and very pleasant. Ideally it can be drunk with vegetable terrines\, poultry\, goat cheese but also as an apéritif. It will be very pleasant at a temperature between 10 to 12°C. After 2 or 3 years of aging\, other aromas will develop allowing this chardonnay to be paired with a more sophisticated cuisine.”    –Winemaker notes \n  \n \nLouis Jadot Macon Villages Chardonnay \nPA LCB Code #7206 \n$15.99 \n“The Mâcon Villages area is located in the southern part of Burgundy\, close to the Beaujolais area. This appellation is the largest of the Mâconnais area\, covering about 2 500 ha of vineyards and 43 communes. Forty three villages have the right to produce Mâcon Blanc Villages. Mâcon Villages are only white wines. The wines are made from 100% Chardonnay grapes. The limestone subsoil of the Monts du Mâconnais are ideal for growing the Chardonnay grapes. Some small areas produce exceptional wines. The Louis Jadot Mâcon Blanc Villages is made from grapes from these different areas.”  –Winemaker notes \n  \n \nLouis Jadot Pouilly-Fuisse \nPA LCB Code #6411 \n$27.99 \n“Deep straw—yellow. Opulent cream and toast aromas. Moderately full—bodied\, ripe palate with vibrant acidity. Supple and drinking beautifully. Drink now.” \n–Winemaker notes \n  \nSo\, plan now to pick up some or all three of the above Louis Jadot wines that we will  discuss and join us on Zoom (the link is shown below) on Sunday\, August 8th at 3:30 pm Eastern Time to learn more about the nuance that can be found in three wines from the same region.

SUMMARY:Stony Run Winery
DESCRIPTION:Stony Run Winery – A Passion for Excellence\nby Joyce Soroka ———– \nThere is a place to the east of southcentral PA. It is a magical place. A place where they make incredible wines. This place is known as Stony Run Winery. Owner and Winemaker Larry Shrawder is the man with the magical touch. He came out of nowhere to wow the crowd at the 2018 PA Wine Excellence Awards when Stony Run Winery took top honors with his 2016 Cabernet Franc. A lot of eyes were opened during that occasion. Larry spoke with the crowd and his wine and words made it entirely evident to the Members and Friends of the Pennsylvania Wine Society that a new\, powerful\, and very well-versed voice had been introduced to the Pennsylvania winemaking scene. Such passion in this individual! Such quality in his wines! \nWe will convene at Stony Run Winery on Sunday\, August 15th at 2:00 p.m. at their beautiful tasting facility – known as The Cellar by Stony Run – which is located in Breinigsville\, PA.  This campus alone is worth a visit. An easy drive of a mere 85 minutes by Interstate Highway will take you there from the Harrisburg (PA) area. It is situated in a pastoral setting that exudes peace and tranquility. There is plenty of seating\, both inside and out\, on upper decks\, in courtyards\, or inside its spacious confines. The Pennsylvania Wine Society Members and Guests will be seated in the rear Courtyard under the shade of table umbrellas for this event.  Our fallback position is to be indoors\, in the event of inclement weather. \n  \nOur event has us tasting eight of the best East Coast wines you have ever tasted! Those who have yet to experience the wines of Stony Run Winery\, are definitely in for a treat! The tasting will consist of a flight of four whites and a flight of four reds\, as follows: \n2017 Sparkling Brut ~ An elegant celebration of the traditional Champagne blend of 60% Pinot Noir and 40% Chardonnay. \n2019 Albariño ~ Pale yellow in color with aromas of stone fruit\, nectarine and white peach with a hint of Key lime meringue. The middle palate offers layers of lemon grass ripe apple and kumquat. The finish shows restrained and elegant acidity along with mineral notes of limestone. \n2017 Grüner Veltliner ~ A subtle floral nose complements refreshing lemon-lime flavors with hints of green apple on the palate making this a versatile food pairing partner. This wine took top honors as the Farm Show Best of Show with top scores for both dry white and overall white at the 2019 competition. \n2017 Chardonnay Reserve ~ Our traditional Chardonnay features a bouquet of vanilla and toasted oak. Butter and caramel are prevalent on the palate. This wine took the Silver Medal at the Finger Lakes International Competition in 2019. \n2016 Merlot Reserve ~ Ripe plum\, black cherry\, and dark berry flavors compliment caramel notes. Aged in French and American oak. \n2016 Cabernet Sauvignon Reserve ~ A nose of plum and lilac continues on the palate with nuances of toasted caramel and dark red fruits. Beautiful oak notes provide a pleasing finish. \n2016 Cabernet Franc Reserve ~ Deep currants and blackberries with toasty oak define the nose while the palate shows a supple array of bright raspberry and red plum flavors. This wine was the top award winner at the Pennsylvania Wine Society Wine Excellence Awards for 2018. NOTE: This wine is now SOLD OUT; but\, a supply remains for our enjoyment and will be available for purchase during our Pennsylvania Wine Society event. \n2017 Flagship ~ This is an elegant celebration of all five traditional varieties authorized for inclusion in Bordeaux wines: Merlot\, Cabernet Sauvignon\, Cabernet Franc\, Malbec\, and Petit Verdot\, all of which are grown in our Kempton (PA) vineyard. It balances deep red fruit flavors with supple tannins. \nStony Run Winery will make the above wines and all of their other wines available for sale at a 10% discount for odd lots of bottles and at a 20% discount per case lots (increments of 12 bottles) to Pennsylvania Wine Society attendees during this event only. \nEveryone is urged to pack and bring a picnic lunch to this event so to pair the foods they wish to have with the incredible wines of Stony Run Winery. Or\, as an alternative\, Stony Run Winery sells a small plate charcuterie as an option if you prefer not to pack a lunch. The plates are designed for 2 people to share while tasting wine and the selection of choices range from a cheese trio to simple spreads to sweet sensations.  Prices range from $7-10 per plate. For our event only\, Stony Run Winery will provide a complimentary charcuterie plate as depicted here for every table of four. \nPlan now to join us for this extraordinary wine tasting experience. Come and witness for yourself the magic of Stony Run Winery and share the wine experience with Pennsylvania Wine Society Members and Friends\, enjoying a relaxing wine tasting and food pairing. And\, take some time to enjoy works of art from local artists on display throughout the interior of the Breinigsville facility.

SUMMARY:Allegro Cadenza
DESCRIPTION:by Lynne Beeson__________ \n \nThe Allegro Cadenza event on August 27th has limited seats remaining!  Save your spot here!   All event information is kept current on the PWS website or contact the Treasurers for information.  For those fortunate to have seats reserved\, here are Carl’s notes on the tasting lineup. \nThe Cadenza Vineyards wines speak from forty years of growing grapes at one special place.  Over time we have started to understand what works for us here.  It starts with Chardonnay and moves through Cabernet Sauvignon and then Merlot and finishes with Petit Verdot blends. \nOur Chardonnay Vineyard was originally planted in 1973 (along with our Cabernet Sauvignon)\, and while time and climate have not been kind to the vines\, we have steadily re-planted with better clones and rootstocks.  In true French fashion\, our Chardonnay block contains 8 different clones all ripening at different times but harvested together.  The wine tastes less of “Chardonnay” and more of “Allegro” (or\, rather\, “Cadenza”).  The fruit is barrel-fermented in newer French oak barrels\, and it remains in the same barrel up until bottling.  The richness of the lees fills out the wine and fleshes out the flavors. \n2019 Chardonnay – Our most recent Chardonnay is the culmination of my search for balance between barrels and fruit.  Struggling to balance the fermentation in barrels while retaining fruit characteristics is anathema to both techniques.  The solution seems to lie in the ripeness and chemistries found at harvest in our vineyard. \n2017 Chardonnay – This vintage has hit its stride and is starting to exhibit the mature flavors that our older vintages showcase while retaining enough primary fruit to provide liveliness and complexity. \n2014 Allegro Reserve Chardonnay – To show that even our whites have ageability\, it was necessary to include an older one.   The 2014 exhibits flavors of honey and butterscotch while retaining enough acidity to balance the richness. \nOur Merlot block was part of our re-planting in 2015.  Having sourced budwood from our friends at Black Ankle\, we were able to plant clean vines on what we consider the “heirloom” part of our vineyard site. French ENTAV clone 181 on de-vigorizing 101-14 rootstock brings the yields in this iron and clay rich field down to two and a half tons per acre. \n2017 Merlot – Vineyards are planted for the next generation\, and our three acre block produced a wine in 2017 that justified the planting. Then a year later\, we lost one third to freeze damage\, and thus began the slow turning towards Petit Verdot.  Merlot is the grape that makes the wine that is easy to like … and to hate … and to love. \n“Bridge” was a wine conceived initially with John Crouch back in 2001. It was meant to be a bridge between his Cadenza tradition and my own (which wouldn’t begin for another four years.)  It has come to take on the significance of being our “Second Wine” in the Bordeaux tradition. The blend changes from year to year\, but the quality remains the same. \n2019 Bridge – Petit Verdot 65%/Merlot 27%/Cabernet Sauvignon 8%.  2019 was a strong but not stellar vintage–hence\, no Cadenza–and yet the Petit Verdot and Merlot solidly ripened. The wine is still young and still has hints of the new barrels in which it was aged and which gave it some of its tannic structure. \n2017 Bridge – Merlot 36%/Cabernet Franc 34%/Cabernet Sauvignon 22%/Petit Verdot 7%.  Merlot and Cabernet Franc have such an affinity for each other and together produce blends which form a sweetness that seems incongruous to the tannic structure. This Bridge is much more gregarious and charismatic than our Cadenzas\, while at the same time having a complex set of flavors and textures that draws one in. \nOur flagship wine\, the redundantly named “Cadenza Vineyards Cadenza” has been a tradition of Bordeaux blends since 1984.  Some years favor Merlot\, while others Cabernet Sauvignon or Petit Verdot.  Time and learning has shifted this wine from its Cabernet roots to Merlot and on to Petit Verdot dominance.  But the blend has always been of the highest importance.  This is a wine that speaks to the potential of fine wine in Pennsylvania. \n2017 Cadenza – Petit Verdot 41%/Cabernet Sauvignon 38%/Merlot 16%/Cabernet Franc 5%.  As young vines\, the tannins on the Petit Verdot are not nearly as impenetrable as will be the case as these vines age\, and therefore the Merlot and Cabernet Franc quotient is quite minimal. This wine achieves a body and richness which belies the fact that it is the first harvest off the new plantings. \nThe Cadenza wines are meant to be aged and enjoyed mature even though they are sometimes too enticing while young.  The Crouch Cadenzas were tough in their youth while my tradition relies on Merlot to soften the Cabernet tannins and provide a mid-palate that entices.  Typical lifespan for Bridge and Cadenza is over twenty years.  A maximum lifespan has not yet been determined. \n1998 Cadenza – 95% Cabernet Sauvignon/3% Merlot/2% Cabernet Franc. The last Cadenza made by John and Tim Crouch (and the first one that I helped work on as well.)  Stylistically this is the last of its kind\, relying almost solely on the Cabernet Sauvignon to carry the moniker. The early winemaking notes claim that this wine was softer in its youth than other Cadenzas of its ilk\, and that staggers the imagination to ponder what the 1995 or 1991 might have tasted like when young. \nAll of the Cadenza Vineyards wines are aged in 100% new French oak barrels (with the exception of some whites which are in older barrels). The whites are aged for approximately 8-10 months and filtered prior to bottling while the reds are aged for 18-22 months and not filtered. \n2020 Barrel Sample Blend – As the wines develop over time\, we look forward to seeing how they best work together in blends. 2020\, for all of its pandemical trials and tribulations\, did yield wine that will find its way into the Cadenza milieu.  Taste the potential future of Cadenza. \nThis promises to be a delightful summer evening at Allegro!   We will be on the covered deck weather permitting; or if not\, will move indoors to the barrel room.  Bring a light jacket or sweater. \n100% COVID 19 vaccination proof with follow-up 14-day waiting period completion is required to confirm event reservations.  All current CDC\, PA DOH and Allegro Winery safety precautions and infection prevention precautions will be observed. \nPlease plan to have dinner or a generous snack prior to arrival. Planned not to distract the palate\, simple cheese and cracker nibbles will accompany these nine fabulous Cadenza wines.  Also plan your travel time to easily gather by 6:50 PM on Friday\, August 27th at Allegro Winery—3475 Sechrist Road\, Brogue\, Pennsylvania 17309.  Ph: 717-927-9148.  See you there! \nGo to Website Reservations            Member:  $85         ~       Patron Member: $80 \n
