SUMMARY:Wine Wednesday ~ Burgundy Whites and Reds
DESCRIPTION:———-by Marty Cook———- \nBurgundy. Thought of as a color. Also synonymous with a wine. Burgundy is\, first and foremost\, a place. Located in France\, Burgundy is arguably the most significant wine-growing region in the world. Renowned for its highly prized red wines made primarily from Pinot Noir\, Burgundy (the place) also encompasses a region in its southern tip known as Beaujolais where red wines are made from the Gamay grape. And\, Burgundy is equally as renowned for its incredible white wines made principally from the Chardonnay grape\, although the “other” lesser-known but cold-hearty white grape (Aligoté) is also employed by Burgundians to make a light\, citrusy white wine. \nThis event\, scheduled for this coming Wednesday\, July 7th at 7:00 p.m.\, is not meant to be an in-depth study of the wines of Burgundy. That would require an entire course spanning many hours of exploration. Rather\, this program is meant for its participants to experience a little bit of Burgundy and some of its many wines as represented by the many places within the Burgundy region where perhaps the best wines the world knows are produced. \nPlease secure a bottle of your choosing of either a Burgundian red or white (or\, both if you must!) and join us on Wednesday\, July 7th at 7:00 p.m. to explore\, discuss\, and share what you have learned in your exploration of the Burgundy region! \nAnd\, just a reminder to shoot a photo of the front and back labels of your bottle and send as e-mail attachments please by 11 p.m.\, Tuesday\, July 6th\, to WineCat@pa.net for inclusion in our PowerPoint slide show for this coming Wednesday evening. We look forward to seeing you then! \nClick on the following link to join our Zoom presentation: \nhttps://zoom.us/j/91457295534?pwd=LzZsVThzVHlmY3lHU0tiT1VhdkJjdz09 \nMeeting ID: 914 5729 5534\nPasscode: 160803\nOne tap mobile\n+13017158592\,\,91457295534#\,\,\,\,*160803# US (Washington DC)\n+13126266799\,\,91457295534#\,\,\,\,*160803# 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+1 669 900 9128 US (San Jose)\nMeeting ID: 914 5729 5534\nPasscode: 160803\nFind your local number: https://zoom.us/u/adaYrTL7eY \n  \n  \n

SUMMARY:Wine Wednesday ~ Sauvignon Blanc
DESCRIPTION:Sauvignon Blanc       by Marty Cook \nThis week’s installment of Wine Wednesday takes place on July 14th at 7:00 p.m. Eastern/New York Time on the Zoom link shown below and features wines made from the Sauvignon Blanc grape.  Known as one of the small handful of Noble Grapes\, and doubling as one of the parents to Cabernet Sauvignon\, this French wine grape is grown the world over. \nSauvignon Blanc is a versatile grape that is capable of portraying many  profiles. The terroir of each vineyard has everything to do with the wine aromas and flavors.  So\, French Sauvignon Blanc from various regions within the Loire Valley will differ from each other as well as from those from\, say\, Washington State or Australia. \nFor this Wine Wednesday event\, choose your favorite Sauvignon Blanc from wherever and join us on July 14th at 7:00 p.m. to showcase your selection!   And\, as always\, please take photos of the front and back labels of your bottle and send them to WineCat@pa.net by Tuesday at 11 p.m. for inclusion in Wednesday’s PowerPoint slide presentation. \nWe look forward to seeing you this coming Wednesday evening at 7:00 pm for Wine Wednesday!   Zoom connection information follows below. \n https://zoom.us/j/97721300481?pwd=bjY5L3F4Skd1UlJZZGdKK0tvRVJjdz09  \nMeeting ID: 977 2130 0481\nPasscode: 899503 \nOne tap mobile\n+13017158592\,\,97721300481#\,\,\,\,*899503# US (Washington DC)\n+13126266799\,\,97721300481#\,\,\,\,*899503# 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+1 669 900 9128 US (San Jose)\nMeeting ID: 977 2130 0481\nPasscode: 899503\nFind your local number: https://zoom.us/u/am5tEI05A

SUMMARY:Wine Wednesday ~ Syrah
DESCRIPTION:Syrah     by Marty Cook \nSyrah. One of the handful of the six or seven Noble Grapes\, depending upon whose list you read. The Noble Grapes 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. \nSyrah is a thick-skinned grape that makes intensely colored wines.  Syrah is elegant\, refined\, peppery and austere with a number of non-fruit notes and is found in France (synonymous with the Northern Rhône)\, Spain\, cooler-climates in Australia\, California (particularly Paso Robles)\, Washington State\, Chile\, and pockets on the North American East Coast and Southwest. \nDuring this episode of Wine Wednesday\, we will not be discussing Shiraz\, which is a fruit-forward\, jammy presentation of the Syrah grape popularized in Australia where they grow this grape in hot\, arid areas to produce an entirely different flavor profile from the one that we will discuss on Wednesday\, July 21st at 7:00 p.m. Eastern/New York time. \nSo\, secure a bottle of your favorite Syrah and join us for Wine Wednesday on July 21st at 7:00 p.m. Eastern/New York time for an hour of interactive wine appreciation and education that you do not want to miss! And\, just to make it interesting\, take photos of the front and back labels of your bottle and send them to WineCat@pa.net by 11 p.m. Tuesday for inclusion in our weekly PowerPoint slide show as we step through each of our selections and discuss the producer\, the region\, its terroir\, and what makes this wine appeal to you. \nWe look forward to seeing you at the following Zoom link on Wednesday\, July 21st at 7:00 p.m. Eastern/New York time for our next Wine Wednesday! \nhttps://zoom.us/j/98625764928?pwd=S2FEWGwrMGREbFB1Qmx4UnhyQXI0dz09 \n Meeting ID: 986 2576 4928\nPasscode: 907073\nOne tap mobile\n+13017158592\,\,98625764928#\,\,\,\,*907073# US (Washington DC)\n+13126266799\,\,98625764928#\,\,\,\,*907073# 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+1 669 900 9128 US (San Jose)\nMeeting ID: 986 2576 4928\nPasscode: 907073\nFind your local number: https://zoom.us/u/ah4FHyToI \n

SUMMARY:Wine Wednesday ~ Fruit Wines and Dessert Wines
DESCRIPTION:Fruit & Dessert Wines              by Marty Cook \nThe topic for our next Wine Wednesday on July 28th at 7:00 p.m. (Eastern/New York time) may initially be off-putting to some\, as “Fruit & Dessert Wines” raises the suggestion that our discussion will revolve around sweet wines.  I like to think of it as “sweet wines with a purpose!”  Yes\, it is true that most dessert wines are sweet or sweeter\, and many also carry a higher percentage of alcohol by volume.  But\, who’s to say that you cannot drink a dry sparkling wine with your dessert item?  Even more importantly is the fact that one’s initial impression of “sweet” upon hearing the words “fruit and dessert wines” completely neglects the inherent food pairings that are enhanced by such wines.  My rule of thumb for dessert wines is that the wine should be as sweet or sweeter than the dessert. But\, you may enjoy something less sweet\, which is your prerogative. \nTrue\, there is a bias among most “dry” wine drinkers by the implication of “sweet” wine.  But\, during this episode of Wine Wednesday\, I ask that you put that bias aside and consider the possibilities.  There is an entire genre of delicious\, albeit\, sweet or sweeter wines that you really should consider.  And\, during this discussion\, I am not including the slushie crowd from one of those sweet wine-producing wineries.  Although it is undeniable that there is a market for such swill (because you can hide a multitude of sins\, i.e. bad wine\, with enough sugar)\, that will not be our focus during this event. \nWe will rise above the cotton candy-flavored wines to such types of wines as Port\, Sherry\, Sauternes (and\, not that California invention of “Sauterne”)\, Ice Wine\, Riesling\, Gewürztraminer\, and well-made Moscato (and\, not industrial grade bulk Moscato).  There are also sparkling wines that are served as dessert wines.  My favorite is a nice Asti\, although you could go in another direction and choose a Brut or Extra Dry Champagne or Prosecco. Remember that I said in the onset that “most” fruit and dessert wines are sweet.  There are also a number of very delightful and inexpensive fruit-based varietals or blends with which to explore.  I will try to have some of those on hand to discuss during our upcoming Wine Wednesday on July 28th at 7:00 p.m. Eastern/New York time. \nI have attached a brief article (or see it here at Usual Wines ) to this announcement that will give you some additional detail on dessert wines and perhaps more ideas as to the wine you wish to select for Wine Wednesday.  So\, give it some thought and join us next Wednesday to discuss “Fruit & Dessert Wines”!  Oh\, and\, as always\, please photograph the front and back labels of your bottle and email them to WineCat@pa.net  by 11 p.m. Tuesday for inclusion in our Wine Wednesday PowerPoint lineup of wines to be discussed.  Thanks! \n_________________________________________________________________________ \nJoin Wine Wednesday here:\nhttps://us06web.zoom.us/j/81399614896?pwd=N09SeTJMbmxiR0lJaFJvYUNISklSZz09 \nMeeting ID: 813 9961 4896\nPasscode: 580951\nOne tap mobile\n+16465588656\,\,81399614896#\,\,\,\,*580951# US (New York)\n+13017158592\,\,81399614896#\,\,\,\,*580951# 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+1 720 707 2699 US (Denver)\n+1 253 215 8782 US (Tacoma)\n+1 346 248 7799 US (Houston)\nMeeting ID: 813 9961 4896\nPasscode: 580951\nFind your local number: https://us06web.zoom.us/u/kTzsTOeX1 \n
