SUMMARY:Wine Wednesday ~ The CONTINUED Quest for Lesser Known Grapes
DESCRIPTION:Wine Wednesday (the continued quest for lesser known grapes)                                  by Marty Cook \nOur Pennsylvania Wine Society Wine Wednesday event this past week was such a success that a consensus of its participants determined we should repeat the same theme again! \nFor those of you who were unable to attend our last Wine Wednesday\, the challenge was to avoid purchasing a wine for the event that belonged to the expanded Wine Folly list of eighteen Noble Grapes. \nTHE EIGHTEEN (alphabetized as a memory aid) \nCabernet Sauvignon \nChardonnay \nChenin Blanc \nGewurztraminer \nGrenache \nMalbec \nMerlot \nMoscato \nNebbiolo \nPinot Grigio \nPinot Noir \nRiesling \nSangiovese \nSauvignon Blanc \nSemillon \nSyrah/Shiraz \nTempranillo \nViognier \nFully 50% of the wine we drink comes from that list of eighteen grapes! In the meantime\, we overlook tasting wines that come from nearly 1\,400 other recognized wine grapes. \nIn the interest of combating homogeneity\, please purchase a wine made from grapes NOT on the list of eighteen Noble Grapes. This may take a bit of digging\, or you can just go to your nearest Fine Wine & Good Spirits store and ask your friendly neighborhood Wine Specialist for some help!  Below is a short list of possible lesser-known grape/wine selections that may give some idea from which to choose a wine made with a lesser-known grape varietal.  With nearly 1\,400 grape possibilities\, your success is ensured! \nHere is a short list of possible lesser-known grape/wine selections  \nAglianico\nAlbariño\nApremont (Jacquère is the grape)\nArneis\nBarbera\nBlaufränkisch (also known as Lemberger)\nBobal\nCarménère\nDolcetto\nDornfelder\nGavi\nGros Manseng\nMalvasia\nMarsanne\nMarselan\nMencia\nMondeuse\nMontepulciano\nMuscadet (Melon-de-Bourgogne is the grape)\nNero d’Avola\nPetit Manseng\nPetit Sirah\nPetit Verdot\nPinot Blanc\nPinotage\nRkatsiteli\nRoussanne\nSagrantino\nSaperavi\nTeroldego\nTorrontés\nTouriga Nacional\nVerdicchio\nVermentino\nZweigelt\nPlus\, there are any number of hybrid grapes from which to choose. Some of the above are actually hybrids of strictly V. vinifera parentage; but\, I am referencing the hybrids that have parentage from two grape species\, i.e. V. vinifera\, V. labrusca\, V. aestivalis\, and V. riparia. \nAlso\, please take a photo of your wine label in advance and send a copy to WineCat@pa.net. We will share label photos to the screen on Wednesday evening. \nJoin us Wednesday to share your discovery with everyone else that evening.  This past week’s lesser-known grapes tour was so interesting and enjoyable that the group elected to do it again next week – the best recommendation a gathering could have!   If you want to enjoy some mid-week social time over a glass of wine\, please consider joining us this coming Wednesday\, March 3rd at 7:00 p.m. Eastern for our next installment of Wine Wednesday! \nYou are invited to join us for a Zoom conference call on Wednesday 03.03.2021 at 7:00 p.m. Eastern. \nTopic: 03.03.2021 “Wine Wednesday” \nTime: Mar 3\, 2021 06:45 PM Eastern Time (US and Canada) \nClick this link to join our Meeting: \nhttps://zoom.us/j/98618036026?pwd=U0p0aS9YRjBCa3JJSmM5U1JPditWUT09 \nMeeting ID: 986 1803 6026 \nPasscode: 352048 \nOne tap mobile \n+16465588656\,\,98618036026#\,\,\,\,*352048# US (New York) \n+13017158592\,\,98618036026#\,\,\,\,*352048# US (Washington DC) \n  \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: 986 1803 6026 \nPasscode: 352048 \nFind your local number: https://zoom.us/u/abI11eiOfh \n

SUMMARY:Wine Wednesday ~ Wines of the Southern Hemisphere
DESCRIPTION:Wine Wednesday ~ Wines of the Southern Hemisphere      by Marty Cook \nAs we begin to wrap up our winter season in the Northern Hemisphere\, our neighbors in the Southern Hemisphere are entering their harvest season!  It is winemaking time every six months in the world\, depending on which half of the globe you inhabit. Just imagine chasing the harvest every six months!  Now\, that is something to add to the bucket list! \nFor the time being\, I must be content with administering to my responsibilities here in the north\, and many of you are probably in the same boat.  But\, that does not stop us from enjoying the fruits of the Southern Hemisphere wine growers! \nSo for next week’s Wine Wednesday\, bring a bottle of wine from “down under” to celebrate the 2021 Southern Hemisphere harvest!  That leaves it wide open for you to decide\, i.e. Australia\, New Zealand\, South Africa\, and South America (Chile\, Uruguay\, Argentina\, Brazil).   All grape varieties are fair game! \nAlso\, please take a photo of your wine label in advance and send a copy to WineCat@pa.net. We will share label photos to the screen on Wednesday evening. \nJoin us when we share our Southern Hemisphere wine discoveries with each other on Wine Wednesday\, March 10th at 7:00 p.m. Eastern. \nHere is the link that you can use to join us: \n https://zoom.us/j/92456583862?pwd=dUR1cE1jQ0NzZXRVZ1JxRXJuL0ZqUT09 \n Meeting ID: 924 5658 3862 \nPasscode: 387119 \nOne tap mobile \n+16465588656\,\,92456583862#\,\,\,\,*387119# US (New York) \n+13017158592\,\,92456583862#\,\,\,\,*387119# US (Washington DC) \n  \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: 924 5658 3862 \nPasscode: 387119 \nFind your local number: https://zoom.us/u/a3WhClWjD \n

SUMMARY:Wine Wednesday ~ Focus on White Blends
DESCRIPTION:Wine Wednesday – Focus on White Blends      by Marty Cook \nWine Wednesday fans are gearing up for an evening of white blends!  This may cause some of our faithful to go scrambling\, as the general preference among some is for red wines.  But\, as someone said last night\, that’s the purpose of these Wine Wednesday sessions\, i.e. to learn something new.  Several confirmed red lovers committed to leave their comfort zone\, and join in this white wine exploration next week. \nThe date and time for this virtual event is Wednesday\, March 17th at 7:00 p.m. Eastern.  Our sessions usually last an hour\, are a great deal of fun\, and are very informative. So\, please join us with a bottle of a white blend from the Bordeaux Region\, or the Southern Rhône\, or your favorite local or international winery.  Where it’s from doesn’t matter – just find a white blend to try\, and share your impressions with us. \nAlso\, remember to take a picture of the front label; and if of interest\, the side/back label and attach those photos to e-mail to WineCat@pa.net in advance\, so that your wine will be featured in the evening’s PowerPoint presentation. \nWe look forward to having you join us!   Please click on the following Zoom link to join us: \nhttps://zoom.us/j/93045566180?pwd=SDVicXNRN0d4RGY3aERrMmFwRXlPdz09 \n  \nMeeting ID: 930 4556 6180 \nPasscode: 755017 \nOne tap mobile \n+13126266799\,\,93045566180#\,\,\,\,*755017# US (Chicago) \n+16465588656\,\,93045566180#\,\,\,\,*755017# US (New York) \n  \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: 930 4556 6180 \nPasscode: 755017 \nFind your local number: https://zoom.us/u/aIG3mephv \n

SUMMARY:Wine Wednesdays ~ Red Blends
DESCRIPTION:Wine Wednesday Featuring Red Blends          by Marty Cook \nOur next Wine Wednesday on March 24th features Red Blends!  This event falls on the heels of our Saint Patty’s Day Wine Wednesday when we featured White Blends\, some of which “accidentally” turned green!  Leprechauns may have been involved.   Everyone enjoyed themselves so much that we decided to move on from drinking white wine blends to red wine blends of your own choosing. \nIf you would like to participate in the fun\, secure a bottle of a blended red wine of your choosing and connect on the Zoom link shown below at 7:00 p.m. EASTERN time on March 24th for our next Wine Wednesday!  Choose an old favorite\, or something you’ve been meaning to try\, or a new one that grabs your eye on the Fine Wine and Good Spirits Store shelf. \nAs always\, please remember to take a photo of the front label\, and if of interest\, the back/side labels on your bottle\, and e-mail them to WineCat@pa.net\, which enables us to include your wine label in our PowerPoint presentation next Wednesday.   Thank you! \nWe look forward to you joining in and sharing your wine finds with us! \nhttps://zoom.us/j/93709240047?pwd=ZDhtRncxbEZsUkNseUFXcUtzNTZUUT09  \nMeeting ID: 937 0924 0047 \nPasscode: 686857 \n  \nOne tap mobile \n+13017158592\,\,93709240047#\,\,\,\,*686857# US (Washington DC) \n+13126266799\,\,93709240047#\,\,\,\,*686857# US (Chicago) \n  \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+1 669 900 9128 US (San Jose) \nMeeting ID: 937 0924 0047 \nPasscode: 686857 \nFind your local number: https://zoom.us/u/abUY3Wtj1a

SUMMARY:Wine Wednesday ~ Wines For the Passover and Easter Seasons
DESCRIPTION:Wine Wednesday ~ Wines For the Passover and Easter Seasons    by Marty Cook \nWhat are you serving this season?  Just as important is the wine or wines that you will pair with that food!  Have a traditional pairing?  Or\, need ideas? \nThis seasonal fare is generally lighter fare.  Wines that work are generally light to medium bodied\, often lacking in tannins\, and frequently white or rosé.  These wines may include everything from Pinot Grigio to Beaujolais and everything in between. \nSearch online for help\, if you wish\, or visit your local wine shop for a chat with the resident Wine Specialist and pour over the shelves of possibilities.  Sauvignon Blanc?  If so\, from where?  Pinot Noir?  Again\, location-location-location.  What about something off the beaten track?  A Furmint from Hungary\, perhaps?  Or\, a Verdicchio from Jesi\, Italy?  Or\, default to a traditional rosé from Provence\, France?  Whatever you choose\, we look forward to being surprised at its unveiling at our next Wine Wednesday on March 31st at 7:00 p.m.  Join us then on the Zoom link listed below for an hour of entertaining chatter as we toast the season! \nOh\, and\, remember to take photos of the front and back labels on your wine choice and e-mail those to WineCat@pa.net for inclusion in our PowerPoint display.  We look forward to you being on hand! \nJoin Our Zoom Meeting by clicking on the following link: \nhttps://zoom.us/j/93944060237?pwd=T1pkNkEyNllNeE0reGVQQmhiYkw1Zz09 \nMeeting ID: 939 4406 0237 \nPasscode: 995067 \nOne tap mobile \n+13126266799\,\,93944060237#\,\,\,\,*995067# US (Chicago) \n+16465588656\,\,93944060237#\,\,\,\,*995067# US (New York) \n  \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: 939 4406 0237 \nPasscode: 995067 \nFind your local number: https://zoom.us/u/aGa3L5hAP \n
