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 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 ~ 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:Virtual Informal Gathering for National Drink Wine Day
DESCRIPTION:by Marty Cook \nSome of you may have participated in the “Wine Wednesdays” Virtual Wine Tasting (VWT) events that I hosted from late July 2020 through mid-November 2020. With the mounting pressures of other personal responsibilities\, I made the decision to discontinue those events before Thanksgiving. And\, although my other responsibilities have not lessened\, I am nonetheless bringing back these events by popular demand! \nOddly enough\, I intend to resume our Wine Wednesday series of VWT events on this Thursday\, February 18th\, at 7:00 pm\, which also happens to be National Drink Wine Day!  Then\, beginning on the following week (Wednesday\, February 24th)\, we will revert back to hosting Wine Wednesday events. \nThere is a new wrinkle to the resurrected version of this VWT series. All of us will join in the tasting with a bottle of wine of our own choosing. We will take turns “going around the room” to let everyone know what we are drinking\, where it is from\, how it tastes\, and any other pertinent information. Then\, in subsequent weeks\, we will all drink the same predetermined varietal or genre of wine. \nThere is no cost to join this event (other than the bottle of wine you bring with you). The length of this session will be approximately an hour. \nIf you are interested in attending\, please use the Zoom link information below on Thursday\, February 18th\, at 7:00 p.m.  No pre-registration required. \nThanks to all\, and I hope to see you on Zoom for National Drink Wine Day! \nTo join our Zoom meeting\, please click the following link: \nhttps://zoom.us/j/99912341758?pwd=bGppdjlQWURyZ1lwU3F3UXA2OFRjQT09 \nMeeting ID: 999 1234 1758 \nPasscode: 600585 \nOne tap mobile \n+16465588656\,\,99912341758#\,\,\,\,*600585# US (New York) \n+13017158592\,\,99912341758#\,\,\,\,*600585# 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: 999 1234 1758 \nPasscode: 600585 \nFind your local number: https://zoom.us/u/aekJ8l8DNC \n
