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: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. We look forward to seeing you! \nJoin “Louis Jadot Chardonnay Comparison” by clicking on the following link: \nhttps://us06web.zoom.us/j/81977194944?pwd=Z0JIM0tRRFRuUTU4MEVsVzJ2UjhTdz09 \nMeeting ID: 819 7719 4944\nPasscode: 807062\nOne tap mobile\n+13017158592\,\,81977194944#\,\,\,\,*807062# US (Washington DC)\n+13126266799\,\,81977194944#\,\,\,\,*807062# US (Chicago) \nDial by your location\n+1 301 715 8592 US (Washington DC)\n+1 312 626 6799 US (Chicago)\n+1 646 558 8656 US (New York)\n+1 253 215 8782 US (Tacoma)\n+1 346 248 7799 US (Houston)\n+1 720 707 2699 US (Denver)\nMeeting ID: 819 7719 4944\nPasscode: 807062\nFind your local number: https://us06web.zoom.us/u/kdFyW2omI1 \n

SUMMARY:Waltz Vineyards Estate Winery Tour & Tasting
DESCRIPTION:The Waltz’s sixth generation farm is situated on a beautiful hill in Lancaster County\, PA.  For generations\, the farm produced traditional crops including tobacco\, corn\, soybeans and wheat. The vineyards were planted in 1997.  The farm enjoys a Continental Climate similar to Northern Italy and Central France. This unique micro-climate also boasts well-drained soils and adequate air flow for vineyards. \nJan Waltz\, sixth generation Lancaster County farmer\, and his wife Kimberly sought out to utilize their unique site and produce a product that could be set on a world stage.  Jan’s Agricultural heritage and related degree from Penn State paved the way for meticulously maintained vineyards. Kimberly’s experience with family business and marketing and related degree from Penn State provided the complementary skill set necessary to launch Waltz Vineyards Estate Winery.  The boutique winery utilizes the most modern wine-making technology imported from Italy. Waltz wines have received many accolades from International\, National and State competitions.    \nRecently a new winemaker officially joined the team—Jan and Kimberly’s son\, Zach\, who is now  the Director of Operations\, Viticulture and Enology. Zach’s heritage experience\, and degree from Cornell bring additional knowledge and skills\, which further complement the processes Waltz has always meticulously maintained to make great wines.  The College of Agriculture and Life Sciences at Cornell is home to one of the top viticulture and enology programs in the world and is internationally recognized for its expertise in breeding wine grapes adapted to cool climate growing regions.  We look forward to hearing from Jan and Zach about the vintages\, the harvests\, and the wines from barrel to bottle.  I know many of you will be excited that we are returning to Waltz Vineyards!  If you’ve not tried these PA wines\, now may be the time for you.  Even Waltz Wine Club members will enjoy this Saturday afternoon with new vineyards to see\, new wines\, and a new winemaker joining the tour and tasting presentations! \nDid you know Waltz Vineyards Wines were reviewed by jamessuckling.com?  James Suckling was a former Senior Editor of Wine Spectator. He is one of today’s leading wine critics whose reviews are read and respected by serious wine collectors\, and the wine trade worldwide.  “Our tasting suggested that Waltz learned extremely well from his mater. Two of his wines were rated 94 points: Cabernet Sauvignon Crow Woods 2014 and Chardonnay Reserve 2015. The latter could easily stand comparison with many of the best Chardonnays from California or Burgundy..”  – Stuart Piggot of jamessuckling.com \n Waltz wines have received many accolades from International\, National and State competitions.   Waltz Vineyards is a 3-time winner of the coveted PWS Pennsylvania Wine Excellence Award as well!  Go to the PWS website awards page to see which wines won.   I know many of you are excited that we are returning to Waltz Vineyards\, because you’ve already registered!  If you’ve not tried these PA wines\, now may be the time for you. \nWaltz Vineyards is committed to using only their estate-grown fruit. The vineyard team works diligently throughout the year to assure the vines produce top quality vinifera wine grapes. Shoot tucking\, thinning\, leaf pulling and weed removal are all jobs completed by the hands of a a hard-working vineyard crew. President and winemaker Jan Waltz says “…by sourcing fruit only from our own meticulously maintained vineyards\, we maintain our standards of excellence in the winemaking process from beginning to end. Great wines are grown in the vineyard!”   Even Waltz Wine Club members\, who know these great wines will enjoy this Saturday afternoon with new vineyards to see\, new wines\, and a new winemaker—7th generation Zach Waltz\, who is now Director of Operations\, Viticulture and Enology\, and will join the tour and tasting presentations! \nYour pleasant summer afternoon can begin as you enjoy the lovely country drive and scenery on your way to Lancaster County—be adventurous and take the country roads—it’s worth it.  After a relaxing drive\, we’ll gather within all CDC and PA DOH distancing and safety precautions.  100% COVID 19 vaccination with waiting period completion is required to confirm event reservations.  We are thrilled to begin\, and equally committed to safety for all.    \nTo begin our Waltz experience—a tour of a newer vineyard accompanied by a nice glass of wine. Veraison begins in late July so our timing is great for a peek at the berry changes\, and to hear Jan and Zach’s predictions for the 2021 vintage. From there we’ll tour the winery area and learn more about how the grapes become wine at the hands of these two artisans.  And then we adjourn to the shady tree grove to settle in and taste the boutique wines!   Bring a picnic basket with some cheese nibbles and perhaps a baguette if you like—whatever you want to pair with the wines.   The tasting line-up is below with wines Jan chose for us. \n2020 Sauvignon Blanc.  Look for citrus notes with a herbaceous finish in this crisp and refreshing dry white wine. \n2020 Fusion.  A semi-dry blend of Semillon\, Chardonnay\, and Sauvignon Blanc\, it has tropical fruit notes with a hint of minerality and a crisp finish. \n2018 Reserve Chardonnay.   Aged for nine months in French oak\, this wine tastes of pears\, apples\, butter\, and caramel. \n2020 Stiegel Rose. A dry rosé made from a blend of Merlot\, Cabernet Sauvignon\, and Cabernet Franc; this interesting wine has tart strawberry notes with a citrus finish. \n2017 Cherry Tree Merlot.  The Cherry Tree Merlot was aged for 24 months in French oak barrels resulting in a bold dry red with big tannins and notes of cherry\, raspberry\, and cocoa. This wine should age well for a decade or more. \n2016 Crow Woods Cabernet.  Also aged for 24 months in French oak creating another bold\, dry red with the Cabernet\, you can expect notes of dark fruit with a lingering velvety finish. \n Surprises!  There will be two additional “surprise” wines from the 2013 and 2014 vintages. \nJoin us at 3:00 p.m. on Saturday\, July 31st for this unique event at Waltz Vineyards Estate Winery & Tasting Room\, 1599 Old Line Road\, Manheim\, PA 17545.  Bring a light afternoon picnic inspired by the Old World to pair with the wines for a true European experience.  Don’t forget to bring your own lawn chairs or blanket for lawn seating.  Outside food and non-alcoholic beverages permitted; no outside alcohol please.  Waltz wines will be available by the bottle after the tasting. \nVery limited seating is still available.  Make your reservation for this event today!  COVID-19 protocols will be followed.  Proof of vaccination required prior to reservation confirmation.  See you there! \nGo to Website Reservations     Member:  $40   ~   Patron:  $35   ~   Nonmember:  $50 \nReservations will be confirmed upon vaccination verification with PWS Treasurers. \n

SUMMARY:National Wine & Cheese Day
DESCRIPTION:National Wine & Cheese Day      by Marty Cook \nWhat better day to celebrate than a “Hallmark Holiday” on July 25th known as “National Wine & Cheese Day”? Wine and Cheese. Sort of goes together like Peanut Butter and Jelly. Like Eggs and Bacon. Like Potatoes and Gravy. Just a natural combination. And\, Wine and Cheese as a pairing has chemistry in both a figurative and a literal sense. The fat in cheese works with tannin to smooth out the wine while the salt in cheese softens the acids in wine. Try it with us on Sunday\, July 25th at 3:30 p.m. Eastern/New York time if you doubt this! \nOn “National Wine & Cheese Day”\, our resident wine educator and co-host Joe Via will step us through the machinations of selecting cheese pairings to compliment your favorite wines. In that sense\, Joe has said that this program will be more about cheese than it will be about wine. So\, to make it easier\, we will pair our cheeses with wines of your choosing made from the seven Noble Grapes. What are the Noble Grapes? I am glad you asked! \nThe Noble Grapes are made from a short list of seven wine grapes that\, as an aggregate\, make the dominant proportion of fine wines around the world. This is partially as a result of these grapes being hardy enough to grow in most wine climates\, not to mention that they also make some very fine wines. They are Chardonnay\, Riesling\, Sauvignon Blanc (all white)\, and Cabernet Sauvignon\, Pinot Noir\, Cabernet Franc\, and Syrah (all red). We will let the choice of wine-growing region up to your discretion\, as the focus here will be on the cheeses. \nThere are many types of cheeses\, such as Fresh Cheeses\, Soft-White Cheeses\, Natural-Rind Cheeses\, Washed-Rind Cheeses\, Semi-Soft Cheeses\, Hard Cheeses\, Blue Cheeses\, and Specialty Cheeses. It is impossible to delve deeply into the extensive world of cheeses. Our goal will be to provide an overview with the basic rules of thumb with which you can arm yourself when making informed cheese choices to go with the wines you are serving. \nThere is so much to explore and enjoy!  It’s easy to be overwhelmed by the task; given seven Noble Grapes\, so many cheeses\, and so little time.   The resources pictured here can offer ideas.   We also recommend seeking suggestions from your favorite Wine Consultant.  For cheese – good advice is available for those in southcentral PA from experts found at Clyde Weaver’s in the West Shore Farmers Market\, any Wegman’s Market cheese booth\, the Di Bruno Bros. booth in the Camp Hill Giant supermarket\, or Pugliese Brothers\, Paxton Church Rd.\, Harrisburg.  And it can be simple too should you only have time to stop by a minimart Sunday afternoon – Philly Cream Cheese on a plain Triscuit can be quite nice with a good crisp white wine.  Therefore\, no choice is wrong – be adventurous – we will learn together what we like AND what we love to pair! \nAnd in case you’re worried about buying too much cheese and those leftover corners and chunks – the best mac and cheese EVER has been made by throwing in ALL the cheeses left from a couple cheese boards into the mix.   An easy weeknight dinner and the next day’s take-to-work lunch that will have your whole work team wondering what smells so good in the microwave. \nSo\, grab several bottles of wine from among the seven Noble Grape varieties along with a random assortment of cheese types\, invite a few friends along for the ride\, and join us at the Zoom link below on Sunday\, July 25th at 3:30 p.m. Eastern/New York time to discuss Wine and Cheese pairing with Joe Via on “National Wine & Cheese Day”!     \nhttps://zoom.us/j/96998095519?pwd=T2dSQzlJZ2kyVmx5TVk3M0w3MEZtQT09 \n Meeting ID: 969 9809 5519\nPasscode: 236148\nOne tap mobile\n+16465588656\,\,96998095519#\,\,\,\,*236148# US (New York)\n+13017158592\,\,96998095519#\,\,\,\,*236148# 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: 969 9809 5519\nPasscode: 236148\nFind your local number: https://zoom.us/u/aenylCKhK4 \n

This creates a wonderfully drinkable wine with light fruit overtones and a well-balanced palate.” \n2018 Chambourcin (oaked) ~ “A pleasing dry red. Mild tannins and berry flavor for an easy-to-drink wine that goes well with all red sauce pasta dishes\, hamburgers\, steak\, and tacos.” \n2020 Finger Lakes Int’l. Wine & Spirits Competition SILVER Medal \n \nOur event will take place in a dining area adjacent to the tasting room\, where we can sit in air conditioned comfort from what could be stifling July heat and humidity. Our accommodations could easily accommodate in excess of 40+ with ample room for social distancing\, should there be concern. \nArmstrong Valley Vineyard & Winery is located north of Harrisburg and the easy 40 minute ride is scenic and enjoyable. My preference is to follow Rt. 322 West to the Clark’s Ferry Bridge\, then continue northward along the east shore of the Susquehanna River to the eventual intersection with Rte. 225\, then traveling through Halifax to Armstrong Valley Road and the final destination on Rutter Road. \nAmple parking is available in the rear of the campus. We will congregate in the tasting room for the pre-event tank room tour\, and then we will return to our dining area adjoining the tasting room facility where we will enjoy the main portion of the evening’s festivities. \nPlease make plans to attend our kickoff of the Pennsylvania Wine Society Summer in the Vineyard Series on Saturday\, July 17th at 6:00 pm for a wonderful evening of wine and food! All are welcome \n  \nMember: $50           Patron: $45           Nonmember: $60 \n

SUMMARY:Cool Australia
DESCRIPTION:Cool Australia (Cooler Climate Australian Wines)      by Marty Cook \nAustralia. A single nation island Continent. Vast\, mysterious\, unique\, and hot. Much of the interior of Australia is arid\, desert land. The continental heat index is further exacerbated by the proximity of Australia to the hole in the atmospheric ozone layer\, although that trend has been reversing. Australia nonetheless remains relatively hot. \nAustralia is also a significant wine producing nation. The country has a rich wine-growing tradition that stems back to the Nineteenth Century. The first wine that generally comes to mind when thinking of Australian wine production is Shiraz\, which grows well in hotter regions. The flip side in all of this is that there are cooler climate areas in Australia’s coastal regions. These cooler climate regions are conducive to growing cool climate grapes\, chief among which are such varieties as Riesling\, Chardonnay\, and Pinot Noir. \nCome with us on Sunday\, July 11th at 3:30 pm to The Land Down Under as we explore these balanced\, more moderate\, food-friendly Australian wines that are grown in cooler climates from cool climate grapes. “Cool Australia” presenter Joe Via will lead us through this event\, leaning on his prior experience as a wine buyer when he had occasion to visit Australia and learn first-hand about Australian wine production. \nCooler climate Australian wines is a side of Australian wines with which you may be unfamiliar\, and all the more reason to learn about them. Plan now to join us for this event on Sunday\, July 11th at 3:30 pm for our virtual presentation on Zoom. \nIn advance of our presentation\, please try to secure at least two of the following recommended examples of cooler climate Australian wines (for Pennsylvania residents\, PLCB Codes and pricing are included): \n\nPLCB Code #84331 – Pikes Riesling\, Clare Valley 2019 $15.99 (Very Limited Inventory)\n\nPLCB Code #84324 – Alkoomi Riesling\, Great Southern 2019 $16.99 (Limited Inventory)\n\nSO# 622214 – Frisk ‘Prickly’ Riesling Alpine Valleys 2020 $9.59+$3.00 shipping+.58 tax – Total $13.17                (Available through Special Order only).\nPLCB Code #76149 – Holm Oak Pinot Noir Tasmania 2016 – Now $23.99\, reduced from $29.99                (Extremely limited inventory available through Special Order only). Or\, because of limitations\, anything                 you can find from Tasmania.\n\nClick the following link to join our Zoom presentation of “Cool Australia (Cooler Climate Australian Wines)” \nhttps://zoom.us/j/93861218921?pwd=K2tXVUp6WVY1RTY0dFhFL3RlendtQT09  \nMeeting ID: 938 6121 8921\nPasscode: 970371\nOne tap mobile\n+13126266799\,\,93861218921#\,\,\,\,*970371# US (Chicago)\n+16465588656\,\,93861218921#\,\,\,\,*970371# 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: 938 6121 8921\nPasscode: 970371\nFind your local number: https://zoom.us/u/aeHIZnsEBk \n

SUMMARY:Cava - A Look at the New Laws
DESCRIPTION:CAVA: the Spanish Sparkler and Updated Winemaking Regs     by Joe Via \nThe wine laws in Spain are changing to identify and dictate regional geography boundaries to distinguish the Cava production D.O.’s.\, Denominación de Origen\, i.e.\, where the grapes are grown. \nThere is not just one production zone\, but four. Two now also have sub-zones. \nIn Spanish\, Cava translates to underground wine cellar. It’s also how quality sparkling wines from Spain are labeled. These quality sparkling wines go through the same process used to make Champagne in France\, which is known as the Méthode Champenoise or ‘Método Tradicional’ – (Traditional Method) and is characterized by a secondary fermentation inside each bottle. \nCava has its own distinctive character due to using native grapes and also because of Spain’s much warmer climate. \nAside from using the same production method\, aging or cellar times differ from Champagne that requires longer development time for some wines. \nFrom very sweet to bone dry\, Cava is produced in a range of categories and types to fit every palate. \nNot all Cava is the same. Join us to discuss how Cava is produced\, grape varieties used\, and the regional differences. The three wines selected\, and available in the Pennsylvania Fine Wine and Good Spirits Stores are: \n\nPLCB Code #82105 – Black Elk Travitana Cava (Requena D.O.P.)   \n\n               Non-Vintage – $12.99 \n\nPLCB Code #83514 – Sokatira Brut Rosé   \n\nNon-vintage – $15.99 \n\nPLCB Code #82209 – Castellroig Brut Reserva Corpinnat   \n\n               Non-Vintage – $14.99 \nPlease join us on Sunday\, June 27th at 3:30 p.m. Eastern/New York time at the Zoom link below to taste some great Cava and learn about the story behind those great sparklers!   Zoom information follows below. \n  \nhttps://zoom.us/j/95270773498?pwd=NzZGdHJrOVNwcGRMc3lSZWJSOTFOUT09  \nMeeting ID: 952 7077 3498\nPasscode: 985799\nOne tap mobile\n+16465588656\,\,95270773498#\,\,\,\,*985799# US (New York)\n+13017158592\,\,95270773498#\,\,\,\,*985799# 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: 952 7077 3498\nPasscode: 985799\nFind your local number: https://zoom.us/u/abXVDbbczv \n  \n  \n

SUMMARY:Washington State Wines:  A Geology Overview and AVA Update
DESCRIPTION:by Joe Via —— \nHello everyone. This is Joe Via\, and it’s been a while since I last did a virtual presentation.  My next virtual tasting is scheduled on Sunday\, June 13th at 3:30 p.m. Eastern/New York Time.  I’m really excited\, as this topic is one of my personal favorites.  At a quick pace\, we will be discussing Washington State’s geology\, and especially its importance or connection with each wine growing area or American Viticultural Area (AVA) created by Glaciers\, and Dams and Floods.  Oh\, my! \n \n  \n  \nClick to see the Washington State AVA map\, then the Columbia Valley AVA map\, and also a two-page infographic and map of the Walla Walla AVA.  We’ll also be pointing out the new AVA’s that have been submitted for approval. There is a lot to cover. Expect at least one and a half hours. \nBecause we would like everyone to have more time to locate and purchase the wines\, please see my wine list recommendation for this tasting below. The focus is on L’Ecole No.41 winery from Walla Walla and because of their use of specific vineyards and AVA’s in these wines. Try to acquire at least one\, maybe two or if possible\, all on the list!  Please note that Pennsylvania Inventories are limited. \nPLCB code #83171 – L’Ecole No. 41 Chardonnay Columbia Valley 2018 – $19.99     Click for  data sheet \nPLCB code #83172 – L’Ecole No. 41 Merlot Columbia Valley 2017 – $24.99    Click for  data sheet \nPLCB code #83169 –  L’Ecole No. 41 Cabernet Sauvignon Walla Walla 2016 – $27.99     Click for data sheet \nPLCB code #84868 – L’Ecole No. 41 Syrah Columbia Valley 2018 – $24.99      Click for data sheet \nIn 1983\, L’Ecole No. 41 winery was one of the first established in Walla Walla Valley.  The current owner/winemaker of L’Ecole\, Marty Clubb\, has been instrumental and directly involved with appellation (AVA) and vineyard development recognition with Washington State wines. I hope we can get a good turn-out for this virtual tasting. If he is able and not dealing with any winery or vineyard issues\, Marty Clubb may be joining us for this tasting from Washington. \nFor those who want to see a few of the maps and wine details\, please use the links included above to access them.   These are all used in the PowerPoint presentation. \nIf it’s not raining\, I plan to be outside for this presentation. I hope to see everyone then. \nLet’s get them grills fired up! \nThank you. \nJoe \nJoin via the below Zoom link at 3:30 p.m. Eastern/New York time on Sunday\, June 13th!\nhttps://zoom.us/j/97709434255?pwd=bGExUURFUHdJYzZ2eVZSN01DdnpPQT09 \nMeeting ID: 977 0943 4255\nPasscode: 328427\nOne tap mobile\n+16465588656\,\,97709434255#\,\,\,\,*328427# US (New York)\n+13017158592\,\,97709434255#\,\,\,\,*328427# 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: 977 0943 4255\nPasscode: 328427\nFind your local number: https://zoom.us/u/aiPSghsDb \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

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:Rosé All Day! with Kevin Ostrowski
DESCRIPTION:Rosé All Day!    by Marty Cook \n Spring and summer scream\, “It is time for a pink party!”  That would be “pink” in the form of Rosé wine.  The popularity of Rosé wine has exploded over the past decade in something of a resurgence.  True Rosé wine used to be readily available in our Fine Wine & Good Spirits stores until the advent of “blush” wines from the West Coast in the very late 1970’s and throughout the 1980’s.  “Blush” is generally sweet or semi-sweet bulk wine produced such that it looks like Rosé wine; but\, its likeness to Rosé stops with color and bears no resemblance in taste to true Rosé. \nTrue Rosé is generally dry to medium-dry\, is loved by both red and white wine drinkers\, and seems to pair with just about every possible food.  And\, what’s not to like?  Rosé wine is delicious!  The rediscovery of true Rosé wine by American wine consumers began during their travels abroad and\, upon returning Stateside\, the absence of good Rosé on our retail shelves created an instant demand.  There was actually a period during which this new demand applied pressure on the supply chain until producers could satisfy that need; but\, in the current day\, we are awash in an abundance of wonderful Rosé wines! \nJoin us on Sunday\, April 18\, 2021 at 3:30 p.m. Eastern Time as Kevin Ostrowski leads us through an hour long presentation about everything Rosé!  During his presentation\, Kevin will explore some of the more prominent Rosé wine growing regions as we taste their delicious wines.  In addition to its origins\, history\, and geography of where and how Rosé wine is made\, he will also highlight the wide varieties of grapes and the different winemaking methods used to produce this immensely popular genre of wine. \nThis event is free to join.  Simply secure one or more bottles of Rosé wine in advance of “Rosé All Day!”\, chill accordingly\, ready your food stuffs to go with\, and click on the Zoom link below on Sunday\, April 18\, 2021 at 3:30 p.m. Eastern Time!  We look forward seeing you! \nhttps://zoom.us/j/91504548895?pwd=V1N4VG1NN1RLU28yYlVhWWxUaTBzUT09 \nMeeting ID: 915 0454 8895 \nPasscode: 337031 \nOne tap mobile \n+16465588656\,\,91504548895#\,\,\,\,*337031# US (New York) \n+13017158592\,\,91504548895#\,\,\,\,*337031# 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: 915 0454 8895 \nPasscode: 337031 \nFind your local number: https://zoom.us/u/ac10njuyGT \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

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:Mazza Wines - Virtual Event
DESCRIPTION:Join Marty Cook for tasting of select Mazza Wines with Mazza Brand Manager and Head Winemaker.  Save the date now and check back 10-14 days prior to the event for additional detail on how to secure the wines\, how to connect by Zoom\, etc. \nMazza Wines\, you may recall was the Pennsylvania Wine Society’s 2019 PA Wine Excellence Award Winner  – we awarded their 2018 Vidal Ice Wine. \nMazza’s history began in Italy.  Joseph Mazza left his 40 acres of sloping terrain planted with figs\, chestnuts\, and vineyards in Calabria\, Italy in 1954 to make his home in the United States. He sent for his wife\, Felecia\, daughter Rosina\, and sons Frank and Robert the following year. \nToday\, Joseph’s son Robert\, his wife Kathie\, and their son\, Mario\, carry on the family tradition at Mazza Vineyards in North East\, Pennsylvania\, one of the premier wineries in the Lake Erie Wine Region\, and the largest producing winery in the state. The winery\, founded and built by Bob and his brother\, Frank\, in 1973\, resembles a Mediterranean structure nestled among acres of rolling vineyards. \nFor more about Mazza Wines\, visit https://enjoymazza.com/mazza-vineyards/

Intense\, warm\, with firm tannins nicely structured by oak aging and a backbone of subtle fruit acidity. Designed to pair perfectly with new trends in avant-garde cuisine. Excellent with all kinds of tapas prepared with fresh ingredients; red meat\, oil-rich fish and cheeses.

Drink 2019-2025.”   94 Points Wine Advocate\, June 2019 \n“This shows so much intense dark berry such as blueberries and blackberries with hints of flowers. Lavender too.

SUMMARY:Red Wines of Piemonte - Virtual Event
DESCRIPTION:by Marty Cook \nEVENT DESCRIPTION\nOur presentation focuses on red wines made from grapes that could almost be referred to as the “noble red grapes” of Piemonte. Of course\, I am referring to Dolcetto\, Barbera\, and Nebbiolo. \nSome of my most favorite wines come from Piemonte\, Italy which also happens to be the ancestral homeland of my mother’s family. Located at the foothills of the Piedmont Mountains in northwestern Italy\, the area is home to cities such as Turin and Asti. The region has a rich tradition in winemaking\, where many outstanding wines (both red and white) are produced. \nJoe Via and I will co-host this event\, and we are really excited about the three wines that we will discuss! So\, please consider joining us on Sunday\, January 24th at 3:30 pm for the next in an ongoing series of Virtual Wine Tasting events. \nTHE WINES AND HOW TO GET THEM\nIn advance of our presentation\, please secure one\, two\, or all three of the following offerings! They are  readily available in Pennsylvania’s premium Fine Wine & Good Spirits stores\, but don’t wait too long to secure your order – at these price points\, supplies may not last.   The PLCB codes\, product names\, and prices follow: \nCode #83453 ~ Luigi Einaudi Dogliani Superiore “Vigna Tecc” 2018  \n$21.99 \nDeep ruby red with shades of violet. Fresh\, rich\, fruity bouquet\, full bodied with intense fragrances of woodland\, pleasantly tannic and a slightly almond final note. \nOf a dry and moderately acidic taste\, after a year of ageing in steel and wood\, two months of refinement in glass\, it has a good body and full taste with a long final almond note\, typical of this wine. \n  \nCode #79301 ~ Bersano Generala Barbera Nizza Riserva 2016 \n$14.99 \nChairman’s Selection®\, Originally Quoted at $49.00 \n“A fresh\, fruity Barbera with crushed-berry\, orange-peel and spice character. Medium body. Juicy finish.” — 91 Points James Suckling\, Aug 2020 \n“Ripe red and black berry fruits complemented by spicy dark chocolate shavings delight on the robust nose. The sturdy palate shows good structure with fine\, firm\, ripe tannin mixed in on the smoldering finish. Another compelling Nizza Barbera from Bersano at an incredible price point!” — Josh Hull\, PLCB Chairman’s Selection Buyer \n  \nCode #79289 ~ Cordero di Montezemolo Barolo Monfalletto 2016  \n$37.99 \nChairman’s Selection®\, Originally Quoted at $60.00 \n“This is one of a fabulous set of new releases\, starting with this classic Barolo that is linear\, direct and beautifully focused. The fruit is soft\, elegant and open-knit in nature\, with berry nuances\, oak spice and crushed limestone. I also notice a specifically minty note that I recall from previous vintages\, only it appears with more brilliant clarity in this beautiful 2016.” — 95 Points Wine Advocate\, Jul 2020 \n“The 2016 Barolo Monfalletto is a gorgeous wine that shows just how fabulous the year is. Bright\, floral and light on its feet\, the 2016 is all class. The elegance and refinement of La Morra come through loud and clear in a mid-weight\, aromatically expressive Barolo that hits all the right notes. Best of all\, the 2016 will drink well right out of the gate. This is such a gorgeous and classy wine. Wow.” — 95 Points Vinous Media\, Feb 2020 \n  \nZOOM CONNECT INFO\nYou are invited to the following scheduled Pennsylvania Wine Society event via Zoom:\n“Red Wines of Piemonte” (a presentation about red wines from the Piedmont Region of Northwestern Italy) \nTo join this event\, click on the following link: \nhttps://zoom.us/j/96430594996?pwd=RmJsaWtFNjhHVWFpRzZ5alhwYzJiUT09 \nMeeting ID: 964 3059 4996\nPasscode: 355224 \nOne tap mobile\n+16465588656\,\,96430594996#\,\,\,\,*355224# US (New York)\n+13017158592\,\,96430594996#\,\,\,\,*355224# US (Washington D.C) \nDial by your location\n+1 646 558 8656 US (New York)\n+1 301 715 8592 US (Washington D.C)\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: 964 3059 4996\nPasscode: 355224\nFind your local number: https://zoom.us/u/acIDdA9gXw
