SUMMARY:Wine Wednesday ~ GSM's - Grenache\, Syrah\, Mourvèdre Blends
DESCRIPTION:GSM’s (Grenache\, Syrah\, Mourvèdre blends)   by Marty Cook \nNext week’s Wine Wednesday on November 17th at 7:00 p.m. Eastern/New York time will examine a very popular red wine blend to which many refer as a “GSM” (an acronym for three well-known grape varieties known as “Grenache\, Syrah\, Mourvèdre”). This genre of wines is a huge favorite among red wine blend fans and is prized for its complex red fruit flavors and age-worthy potential. Originally grown in the Côtes du Rhône region of France\, this blend is now evidenced in many wine regions of the world. This style and variations of the GSM blend excels in warmer climates such as in Spain\, South Australia\, South Africa\, parts of the United States\, and Southern France. In Australia\, the grapes are commonly called Grenache\, Shiraz\, and Mataro. Some of the most renowned examples of GSM are known as Châteauneuf-du-Pape\, which is produced in the Rhône and where producers are permitted to use up to nineteen different grape varieties (including white grapes). Examples of this wine is produced in regions of the United States as diverse as Paso Robles\, California\, as well as Central Virginia and Washington State. \nSo\, scout out the shelves of your local wine and spirits shop and delve into the topic of GSM’s. After you research\, decide on and purchase the GSM about which you want to share on our next Wine Wednesday\, remember to take photos of the front and back/side labels and send them to WineCat@pa.net by 11 p.m. Tuesday evening\, for inclusion in our weekly Power Point slideshow. \nThen\, join us on Wednesday\, November 17th at 7:00 p.m. Eastern/New York time for an hour of online fun by clicking on the Zoom link shown below.  We look forward to seeing you! \nhttps://us06web.zoom.us/j/87563152445?pwd=S0o5VXVhMFFUa21ONERIMXFmQ1MzUT09 \nMeeting ID: 875 6315 2445\nPasscode: 996460\nOne tap mobile\n+13126266799\,\,87563152445#\,\,\,\,*996460# US (Chicago)\n+16465588656\,\,87563152445#\,\,\,\,*996460# 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+1 720 707 2699 US (Denver)\n+1 253 215 8782 US (Tacoma)\nMeeting ID: 875 6315 2445\nPasscode: 996460\nFind your local number: https://us06web.zoom.us/u/kegFifPSwd \n

SUMMARY:Wine Wednesday ~ Wines from Islands
DESCRIPTION:Wine Wednesday goes on vacation in the Islands! Well\, so to speak. Our next Wine Wednesday program on December 1st at 7:00 PM Eastern/New York Time leaves the mainland to visit the islands. Wine producing islands\, that is! On first glance\, you may say\, “How many wine-producing islands can there possibly be?” The answer is\, “Plenty!” For instance\, The United States has Long Island\, which produces some great wines from Long Island’s North Fork\, most notably their Merlot! Then there is Hawaii! I have tasted several wines over the years that were produced by MauiWine (was Tedeschi Winery)\, opened in 1974 in Kula\, Maui. They are known for estate-grown wines\, traditional method sparkling wines\, and pineapple wines. \nOn a more serious note\, other longtime wine-producing islands include the Mediterranean islands of Sicily\, Sardinia\, Corsica\, Crete\, and Malta. Then\, there are the Azores (an archipelago situated in the North Atlantic Ocean) and the Madeira Islands (both of these groups are autonomous regions of Portugal)\, the Canary Islands (off the coast of Northwest Africa)\, and the island of Great Brittan. Onetime island Australia does not count since it reached continent status some years ago; but\, there are the nearby islands of New Zealand and Tasmania to consider. Rhode Island is not an island\, although wine is actually produced there!). \nSo\, join us with an example of a wine from an island for our next Wine Wednesday event on December 1st at 7:00 PM Eastern/New York Time. Also\, send pics of your bottle’s wine labels (front\, back and/or side) to WineCat@pa.net by 11 PM Tuesday for inclusion in our Wine Wednesday PowerPoint slide show. We look forward to you joining us! \nhttps://us06web.zoom.us/j/87538138961?pwd=ZjhrWloxNHhKREVoY1pXQm80MGlxUT09 \n Meeting ID: 875 3813 8961 \nPasscode: 316106 \nOne tap mobile \n+13126266799\,\,87538138961#\,\,\,\,*316106# US (Chicago) \n+16465588656\,\,87538138961#\,\,\,\,*316106# 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+1 720 707 2699 US (Denver) \n+1 253 215 8782 US (Tacoma) \nMeeting ID: 875 3813 8961 \nPasscode: 316106 \nFind your local number: https://us06web.zoom.us/u/kbD9rMvmMb

SUMMARY:Wine Wednesday ~ Malbec
DESCRIPTION:Our next installment of Wine Wednesday on December 8th at 7:00 p.m. Eastern/New York time involves a discussion of wines made from Malbec\, a grape that is principally grown in Cahors in southwestern France as well as Argentina. Although genetic origins point to Burgundy\, France\, Malbec (known as Côt in southwestern France) only came into prominence in recent decades when it was catapulted to popularity by the winemakers of Argentina. \nMalbec was originally used as a blending grape in the Bordeaux region of France as one of the six allowable red grapes that could be included in a red Bordeaux blend. Malbec has recently gained popularity as a varietal produced in the area of southwestern France near Cahors. Malbec is also widely grown around the globe in recent years. \nPlease join us on Wednesday\, December 8th at 7:00 p.m. Eastern/New York time for our upcoming episode of Wine Wednesday when we will engage on Zoom to discuss this grape and its various flavor profiles as portrayed in varying terroir. Also\, please take a picture of the front and back labels of your bottle of Malbec and send those photos to WineCat@pa.net by 11 p.m. Tuesday evening for inclusion in our PowerPoint slide show next Wednesday. It adds to the fun and enjoyment! Then\, follow the Zoom link shown below! \n https://us06web.zoom.us/j/87159544811?pwd=ZDQ5MzJpOWtNU3l4eXZWMys2N3BSZz09 \n Meeting ID: 871 5954 4811 \nPasscode: 387844 \nOne tap mobile \n+13126266799\,\,87159544811#\,\,\,\,*387844# US (Chicago) \n+16465588656\,\,87159544811#\,\,\,\,*387844# 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+1 720 707 2699 US (Denver) \n+1 253 215 8782 US (Tacoma) \nMeeting ID: 871 5954 4811 \nPasscode: 387844 \nFind your local number: https://us06web.zoom.us/u/kdIZDlUNMv \n

SUMMARY:Wine Wednesday ~ Chilean Wines
DESCRIPTION:Our next and last Wine Wednesday event for calendar year 2021 will take place on December 15th at 7:00 pm Eastern Time and will deal with the topic of “Chilean Wines”. Similar to what Argentina did for Malbec and Uruguay did for Tannat\, Chile has resurrected an almost forgotten grape known as Carménère\, a grape of French origin that was facing near extinction in France. Vineyards in Chile were growing boatloads of what they thought was Merlot until 1994 when geneticists discovered that the Chilean vineyards were actually growing Carménère! Of course\, Chile is quite famous for other grape varieties\, including some fantastic Cabernet Sauvignon as well as other varietals. \nThat’s just one unusual characteristic about Chilean wines. Chile is a long and narrow country along the southwestern border of South America with valley after valley that run east to west from the Andes Mountains to the coast. Each of these valleys have distinctive terroir characteristics. And\, because Chile is walled off by the Andes (the longest continental mountain range in the world) from the rest of South America\, phylloxera has never breached that barrier into Chile. Thus\, Chilean vineyards grow their grapes on their own rootstocks instead of grafted rootstocks from North American grapes. \nPlease join us for Wine Wednesday on December 15th at 7:00 pm Eastern Time to share in the discussion about Chilean wines by jumping on the Zoom link below. Please secure a bottle of Chilean wine and please remember to send pictures of the labels from the bottle of wine you wish to feature to WineCat@pa.net by 11 PM Tuesday. Those labels will be featured in next Wednesday evening’s PowerPoint slide show. We look forward to seeing you then! \nhttps://us06web.zoom.us/j/85651407809?pwd=TmR4UjdTK3FIbXZpT3FYcmIzNUFyQT09 \nMeeting ID: 856 5140 7809 \nPasscode: 993560 \nOne tap mobile \n+13126266799\,\,85651407809#\,\,\,\,*993560# US (Chicago) \n+16465588656\,\,85651407809#\,\,\,\,*993560# 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+1 720 707 2699 US (Denver) \n+1 253 215 8782 US (Tacoma) \nMeeting ID: 856 5140 7809 \nPasscode: 993560 \nFind your local number: https://us06web.zoom.us/u/kbKB6vuT7u \n

SUMMARY:Wine Wednesday ~ Wines of Alsace
DESCRIPTION:We kick off a New Year of Wine Wednesday on January 5th\, 2022\, at 7:00 p.m. Eastern/New York Time with a discussion of one of my favorite wine regions\, that being the region of Alsace\, France. \nAlsace is a land of rich historic background that marries both French and German culture to present the best of two worlds. Alsace produces many incredible white wines and one allowable red wine. A cooler climate region that once resided within the boundaries of Germany\, this multi-cultural area is now part of France by virtue of the spoils of the First World War. Yet\, Alsace has a distinctively German flavor in its foods\, wines\, customs and architecture. \nThe Alsace wine region is renowned for its wonderful white wines\, such as Riesling\, Sylvaner\, Pinot Blanc\, and Gewürztraminer and its one allowable red wine\, Pinot Noir. This region is also home to many long-time wine producers that have endured through the ages in spite of international conflicts. \nPlease join us for Wine Wednesday on January 5th\, 2022\, at 7:00 p.m. Eastern/New York Time with a bottle of your favorite Alsatian wine. And\, as always\, please send photos of the front and back labels of your bottle to WineCat@pa.net by 11:00 p.m. Tuesday for inclusion in that evening’s PowerPoint slide show of featured wines that we will discuss. \nWe look forward to seeing you on January 5th\, 2022\, at 7:00 p.m. Eastern/New York Time for our first Wine Wednesday event of the New Year! \n  \nhttps://us06web.zoom.us/j/86313576202?pwd=b0J0R2x1QUozbUtMbENsSnEyazlpQT09 \nMeeting ID: 863 1357 6202 \nPasscode: 712537 \nOne tap mobile \n+16465588656\,\,86313576202#\,\,\,\,*712537# US (New York) \n+13017158592\,\,86313576202#\,\,\,\,*712537# 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: 863 1357 6202 \nPasscode: 712537 \nFind your local number: https://us06web.zoom.us/u/kcZbINb4Kw \n  \n

SUMMARY:Wine Wednesday - Wines of South West France
DESCRIPTION:Our next Wine Wednesday on January 12th at 7:00 pm Eastern Time takes us to a somewhat unsung\, yet fascinating region of France known as South West France (or\, Sud-Ouest as the French call it). As the folks at Wine Folly say: \n“If you like Bordeaux but not the prices\, then the South West region of France is calling you. Many of the wines are very similar to Bordeaux in varietal\, wine making style and quality. Add some unique grapes and ‘terroir’ into the mix and this is one exciting region for wine lovers.” \nThe South West France wine region has a long history of being treated as the red-headed stepchild of the French wine scene\, and therein lies a story. As always\, it is the age-old story of money\, politics and power. But\, as a result\, this region is also something of a best kept secret when it comes to affordable yet wonderful French wines! Look for regional names on the label like Bergerac\, Montravel (dry white blends)\, Pécharment (big\, reds)\, and sweet wines from Saussignac\, Rosette and Monbazillac. \nSo\, secure a bottle of wine from the South West region of France and join us for our upcoming Wine Wednesday on January 12th at 7:00 pm Eastern Time as we explore some of the fantastic yet somewhat obscure wines of this region! And as always\, please take photos of the front and back labels of your wine and send them to WineCat@pa.net by 8 PM Tuesday for inclusion in our weekly PowerPoint slide show. Use the Zoom link shown below. We look forward to seeing you! \nhttps://us06web.zoom.us/j/84279977510?pwd=ZHBEOWhweEFqbkpERDBYRC94SGdXZz09 \nMeeting ID: 842 7997 7510 \nPasscode: 715711 \nOne tap mobile \n+13126266799\,\,84279977510#\,\,\,\,*715711# US (Chicago) \n+16465588656\,\,84279977510#\,\,\,\,*715711# 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+1 720 707 2699 US (Denver) \n+1 253 215 8782 US (Tacoma) \nMeeting ID: 842 7997 7510 \nPasscode: 715711 \nFind your local number: https://us06web.zoom.us/u/kclpkiGFmC \n

SUMMARY:Wine Wednesday ~ Wines of the Balkans
DESCRIPTION:Our next Wine Wednesday on January 19th at 7:00 p.m. Eastern/New York Time revolves around the wines of the Balkans. As wine regions go\, the Balkans comprises one that is lesser known by most\, yet possesses more ancient roots in practicing the craft of winemaking than today’s more well-known wine regions. \nThere are eleven countries that comprise the Balkans\, namely Albania\, Bosnia and Herzegovina\, Bulgaria\, Croatia\, Greece\, Kosovo\, Montenegro\, North Macedonia\, Romania\, Serbia\, and Slovenia. These countries have a rich history and winemaking tradition and may present a challenge in finding a representative example of their wines\, due to availability of wines from the Balkans in our domestic fine wine shops. Still\, there are many possibilities from which to choose\, if you do some sleuthing! I personally know that there are a number of both red and white Grecian wines available\, as well as many wines from Bosnia and Herzegovina\, Bulgaria\, Croatia\, Montenegro\, Macedonia and Romania on the shelves of local wine shops. Ask your Wine Specialist for assistance and you will be surprised at the number of Balkan wines you will find! \nSo\, please join us at the Zoom link below with a bottle of wine from the Balkans for our next Wine Wednesday on January 19th at 7:00 pm Eastern Time when we explore more about this genre of wines! And\, as always\, please send photos of the front and back labels of the bottle of wine that you plan to feature to WineCat@pa.net by 11 p.m. Tuesday evening for inclusion in Wednesday’s PowerPoint lineup of featured wines! \nWe look forward to seeing you this Wednesday at 7:00 p.m. Eastern/New York Time for this week’s episode of Wine Wednesday!  Please join us via the Zoom link below. \nhttps://us06web.zoom.us/j/88103200571?pwd=KzlxU3AyandTMWo2NkQ3elJjdWZpUT09 \n Meeting ID: 881 0320 0571\nPasscode: 651275\nOne tap mobile\n+13126266799\,\,88103200571#\,\,\,\,*651275# US (Chicago)\n+16465588656\,\,88103200571#\,\,\,\,*651275# 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+1 720 707 2699 US (Denver)\n+1 253 215 8782 US (Tacoma)\nMeeting ID: 881 0320 0571\nPasscode: 651275\nFind your local number: https://us06web.zoom.us/u/kb57jlFiDj \n

SUMMARY:Wine Wednesday ~ Wines of Sicily
DESCRIPTION:Our next episode of Wine Wednesday takes place on January 26th at 7:00 pm Eastern Time and features “The Wines of Sicily\,” the largest island in the Mediterranean Sea and one of the 20 regions of Italy. This island\, located at the “toe of the boot” as described by the shape of the Italian Peninsula has had a rather storied past of being overrun and occupied by invaders representing multiple cultures. The Sicilian dialect and their traditional foods reflect the multiple raiders that swept across the Sicilian landscape. This is hardly surprising\, as each of these intrusions\, in some cases\, occupied the island for centuries at a time. As a result\, Sicily has a rich and unique culture\, especially with regard to the arts\, music\, literature\, cuisine\, and architecture. \nThe terrain of inland Sicily is mostly hilly and is home to Mount Etna\, the largest active volcano in Europe. The volcanic soil in those areas of the island that have been influenced by volcanic action bodes well for vineyards and winemaking. Some ancient archeological findings testify that Sicily was one of the first Italian region to practice the art of enology. More recently\, Sicily has seen a growing interest from modern day winemakers who are strongly committed to innovating\, transforming and improving the quality of Sicilian vineyards. The current wine industry has introduced new grape varieties\, experimented with new techniques and modernized the wineries. The sun\, the land\, the hills and the sea breeze have done the rest\, providing an extraordinary variety of Sicilian wines which have taken a leading role on the international stage. \nSo\, secure a bottle of Sicilian wine and join us on Wednesday\, January 26th at 7:00 pm Eastern Time when we gather again for Wine Wednesday. As usual\, please photograph the front and back labels of your bottle and email them to WineCat@pa.net by 11 p.m. this coming Tuesday evening for inclusion in Wednesday evening’s PowerPoint presentation. We look forward to having you aboard as we share with each other our own impressions of the wines we will discuss during Wine Wednesday!

SUMMARY:Wine Wednesday ~ Wines from Cool Climate Grapes
DESCRIPTION:Many grapes are what we call “cool climate grapes.” Think Riesling\, Pinot Noir\, Chardonnay\, Sauvignon Blanc or Rkatsiteli. Also consider a number of cooler climate hybrid grapes like Seyval Blanc\, Vidal Blanc\, and Marquette. Such grapes reflect their true typicity when grown in cooler growing regions. These grapes can also grow in warmer regions; but\, the desired flavor profile will be considerably different\, and that is not a bad thing. It just yields a different outcome. \nOur next installment of Wine Wednesday on February 2nd at 7:00 pm Eastern Time features wines made from the grapes we know as “cool climate grapes.” The cold\, hard truth is that cool and cold areas are best suited for white wine production because white grapes generally ripen earlier and they are more forgiving\, flexible and adaptable in the hands of a talented winemaker to make a good wine over a wider range of maturity than would red grapes grown in the same cool or cold area. With new viticulture technology in the form of cold-hardy and disease-resistant hybrid grape varieties\, the possibility of growing fine wines has expanded into cool and cold areas that were previously thought to be inaccessible to wine production. \nSo\, pick up a bottle of your favorite cooler or even colder climate wine made from cool climate grapes and join us for Wine Wednesday on February 2nd at 7:00 pm Eastern Time and share your thoughts about your wine with us! And\, as usual\, take photos of your bottle’s front and back labels and email them to WineCat@pa.net by 11 PM Tuesday for inclusion in our weekly PowerPoint presentation. \nNo reservations needed – just join us close to 7 PM Wednesday Eastern/New York time via the Zoom link below.   We look forward to seeing you then! \n  \nhttps://us06web.zoom.us/j/89067997194?pwd=Wm53T21KTE0wNDh2Ymo4TUh2dWtIZz09 \nMeeting ID: 890 6799 7194 \nPasscode: 229114 \nOne tap mobile \n+13017158592\,\,89067997194#\,\,\,\,*229114# US (Washington DC) \n+13126266799\,\,89067997194#\,\,\,\,*229114# 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: 890 6799 7194 \nPasscode: 229114 \nFind your local number: https://us06web.zoom.us/u/kYV7STwlM

SUMMARY:Wine Wednesday ~ Wines from Indigenous Grapes
DESCRIPTION:Our next Wine Wednesday episode on February 9th at 7:00 pm Eastern/New York time is “Wines from Indigenous Grapes.” This topic almost screams “Italy!” The Italian peninsula is home to nearly 25% of the world’s 1\,200+ recognized wine grape varieties. But\, many other wine regions and countries can also claim a number of wine grapes as indigenous to their wine growing regions. Determining a grape variety’s place of origin has become far easier in light of the modern-day work of geneticists in the field of ampelography\, which is the science concerned with the identification and classification of grapevines. So\, do your research\, because a Tanat from Uruguay is not an example of an indigenous grape. Neither is Cabernet Sauvignon from Napa Valley an example of an indigenous grape. Nor is Sauvignon Blanc indigenous to New Zealand. This is an exercise in finding the roots of the varietal that you are drinking! \nPlease join us this week for Wine Wednesday on February 9th at 7:00 pm Eastern/New York time when we explore the genealogy\, so to speak\, of your favorite varietal! And\, as we do every week\, send photos of the front and back of your wine bottle labels to WineCat@pa.net by 11 pm Tuesday for inclusion in this week’s PowerPoint slide show\, which is when you will have your 3 minutes of fame as you feature your chosen indigenous varietal! We look forward to seeing you then! \nNo reservation needed – simply join us via the Zoom link below close to 7pm Wednesday evening. \nhttps://us06web.zoom.us/j/88095815870?pwd=dTdQT0kwQWovcWp6Rjc4RjhSWXdOZz09 \n Meeting ID: 880 9581 5870\nPasscode: 551519\nOne tap mobile\n+13126266799\,\,88095815870#\,\,\,\,*551519# US (Chicago)\n+16465588656\,\,88095815870#\,\,\,\,*551519# 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+1 720 707 2699 US (Denver)\n+1 253 215 8782 US (Tacoma)\nMeeting ID: 880 9581 5870\nPasscode: 551519\nFind your local number: https://us06web.zoom.us/u/keisFJJuuB

SUMMARY:Wine Wednesday ~ Piemonte\, Italy
DESCRIPTION:This week’s Wine Wednesday episode on February 16th at 7:00 p.m. Eastern focuses on one of my most favorite wine regions in the whole world\, i.e. that of Piemonte (Italy). This region is in the northwest of Italy and is bordered on the western side by a mountain range that separates Italy and France. It is also the homeland of my maternal ancestors\, many of whom were from Asti and the agrarian towns and villages to the southeast of Asti. When my grandpap told me that he grew up on a farm\, I asked him what they grew. His answer was\, “Grapes!” \nIt is difficult for me to pin down my favorite wines from Piemonte. Owing to the influence of the Romans\, roughly 25% of the world’s recognized wine grape varieties are indigenous to Italy. Thus\, no matter where you go in Italy\, you will find local wine grapes growing everywhere! This translates into endless wine varietals. Piemonte is no slouch when it comes to grape varieties and wine varietals. And\, there are almost as many white wines from which to choose as there are reds. \nSo\, spend some time\, do the research\, and you will be amazed at the wines Piemonte has to offer! Then\, meet us on the Zoom link below on Wednesday\, February 16th at 7:00 p.m. Eastern time for Wine Wednesday! Arm yourself with a suitable bottle of wine from Piemonte and\, as always\, send photos of the front and back labels from your wine bottle to WineCat@pa.net by 11 p.m. Tuesday for inclusion in Wednesday night’s PowerPoint slide show. \nNo reservation needed – simply join us close to 7 p.m. Wednesday via the Zoom link below.   We look forward to seeing you then! \nClick on the Link below to Join the Wine Wednesday Zoom Meeting: \nhttps://us06web.zoom.us/j/87198948005?pwd=VmNnUk5HOTgvQm4zR2RYc3BxdlFUQT09 \nMeeting ID: 871 9894 8005 \nPasscode: 423725 \nOne tap mobile \n+13126266799\,\,87198948005#\,\,\,\,*423725# US (Chicago) \n+16465588656\,\,87198948005#\,\,\,\,*423725# 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+1 720 707 2699 US (Denver) \n+1 253 215 8782 US (Tacoma) \nMeeting ID: 871 9894 8005 \nPasscode: 423725 \nFind your local number: https://us06web.zoom.us/u/kx94siID \n  \n

SUMMARY:Wine Wednesday ~ The Veneto Region of Italy
DESCRIPTION:Our topic for Wine Wednesday on February 23rd at 7:00 pm Eastern time examines the wines of Veneto\, Italy. This region is in the northeastern corner of “the boot” that describes the peninsula that is Italy. It is generally a cooler climate for growing grapes. The Veneto region produces more whites than reds under the DOC designation and is notably home to the Prosecco and Soave wines. However\, continued recognition for other wines from the region\, such as Valpolicella\, Amarone\, Soave and Bardolino\, help keep Veneto in the spotlight. \nThe red wines of Veneto are also identified with several techniques which are used to increase body\, structure and intensity to various of the wines. Such processes as Ripasso and Appassimento yield stunning results that we will discuss this week. \nSo\, secure a bottle of wine from this region and join us for Wine Wednesday on February 23rd at 7:00 pm Eastern time to learn “the rest of the story.” And\, as always\, please take photos of the front and back labels of your bottle and email them to WineCat@pa.net by 11 p.m. Tuesday for inclusion in our PowerPoint slide presentation. We look forward to seeing you! \nNo reservations needed – simply send your label photos and join us via the Zoom link below close to 7 p.m. Eastern/New York time Wednesday. \n  \nhttps://us06web.zoom.us/j/82227400122?pwd=a0QyUHFVSkZMUWhkL2pJM0h5K0V5Zz09 \nMeeting ID: 822 2740 0122\nPasscode: 083578\nOne tap mobile\n+13017158592\,\,82227400122#\,\,\,\,*083578# US (Washington DC)\n+13126266799\,\,82227400122#\,\,\,\,*083578# 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: 822 2740 0122\nPasscode: 083578\nFind your local number: https://us06web.zoom.us/u/kbiVFlUjxa

SUMMARY:Wine Wednesday ~ The Rioja Region of Spain
DESCRIPTION:Our next installment of Wine Wednesday on March 9th at 7:00 pm Eastern Time embraces the wines that emanate from the Rioja region of Spain. The Rioja (phonetic spelling RREE’-OH’-hah) is the oldest Designation of Origin in Spain (1925) and the first to earn Calificada status (1991). A broad yet landlocked geographic expanse stretching from west to east across the northcentral reaches of Spain\, the Rioja is really three subregions representing three distinct terroir. Rioja is perhaps the most recognized Spanish wine region among Americans and is best known for berry-scented\, barrel-aged red wines made from Tempranillo and Garnacha. It is arguably Spain’s top wine region. It is certainly the most famous\, rivaled only by Jerez. There are so many other noteworthy Spanish wine regions\, but we begin with Rioja\, which requires much exploration before we move on to other Spanish wine regions later this year. So\, enjoy Rioja while we linger in it for now! \nSo\, please secure a bottle of wine from the Rioja region and join us on Wednesday\, March 9th at 7:00 pm Eastern Time for this week’s iteration of Wine Wednesday! And\, please remember to send pictures of your wine bottle’s front and back labels to WineCat@pa.net for inclusion in this coming week’s PowerPoint slide presentation. Please do so no later than Tuesday evening\, March 8th. \nWe look forward to seeing you this Wednesday on March 9th at 7:00 pm Eastern Time for Wine Wednesday! \nhttps://us06web.zoom.us/j/85241909890?pwd=eVl3MW8rVnBSamhZenhKbDhPUFNJZz09 \nMeeting ID: 852 4190 9890\nPasscode: 473732\nOne tap mobile\n+16465588656\,\,85241909890#\,\,\,\,*473732# US (New York)\n+13017158592\,\,85241909890#\,\,\,\,*473732# 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: 852 4190 9890\nPasscode: 473732\nFind your local number: https://us06web.zoom.us/u/kef5JnobY4

SUMMARY:Wine Wednesday ~ Wines from Washington State

SUMMARY:Wine Wednesday ~ -Wines of Eastern Europe 
DESCRIPTION:This week’s Wine Wednesday on May 11th at 7:00 pm Eastern Time makes a course correction that takes us back across the pond to Europe and specifically to Eastern Europe. But\, for this trip\, we are going a little deeper into the eastern part of the continent. Get ready to talk about favorite or newly discovered wines from countries such as Bulgaria\, the Czech Republic\, Hungary\, Poland\, Romania\, Slovakia\, Moldova\, Croatia\, or The Ukraine. You will have to do a little digging to find examples of wines from these areas. But\, if you can find them\, you will be pleasantly surprised. Winemaking in these nations has a rather ancient history. In fact\, some of the grape varieties you will encounter in your research are very ancient\, although they are not necessarily household words. As wine education goes\, this topic will teach us a lot about a totally different chapter in our appreciation of wine. \nSo\, locate a bottle of Eastern European wine\, take some pics of the front and back label of that wine\, send those pics to WineCat@pa.net by Tuesday evening\, and get set to join us for this edition of Wine Wednesday on May 11th at 7:00 pm Eastern Time! \nNo reservation needed – simply join us close to 7 pm on the on the Zoom link below.  We look forward to seeing you then! \n https://us06web.zoom.us/j/81812254012?pwd=ZHJlVURzenFDNVhuRE45c0htQ0paQT09 \n Meeting ID: 818 1225 4012\nPasscode: 815721 \nOne tap mobile\n+16465588656\,\,81812254012#\,\,\,\,*815721# US (New York)\n+13017158592\,\,81812254012#\,\,\,\,*815721# 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: 818 1225 4012\nPasscode: 815721\nFind your local number: https://us06web.zoom.us/u/k5pvFboL

SUMMARY:Wine Wednesday ~ Wines of Africa and the Middle East

SUMMARY:Wine Wednesday ~ Summer Wines
DESCRIPTION:Next weekend in the USA\, we take pause to remember all the brave men and women who gave their lives so that we can exercise all of our freedoms\, including our ability to freely talk about the wine of our choosing every Wednesday evening on Wine Wednesday. This episode of Wine Wednesday falls on May 25th at 7:00 pm Eastern Time. \nMemorial Day weekend is also traditionally thought of as the unofficial start to summer; so\, let’s kick it off by talking about our favorite wines for warm summer evenings spent outside while enjoying friends and family. There are so many beautifully refreshing “summertime sippers” (generally lighter white or rosé wines) to enjoy on the patio or deck or veranda. So\, grab a bottle of your favorite summertime wine elixir\, take pictures of the front and back labels\, send those photos to WineCat@pa.net by 11 PM Tuesday for inclusion in our weekly PowerPoint slide show\, and get ready to share some facts and tasting notes about the “summertime sipper” of your choice! \nNo reservation needed!   Simply join us on May 25th at 7:00 pm Eastern Time via the Zoom link shown below! \n  \nhttps://us06web.zoom.us/j/86904511117?pwd=WXlGZlF4d2VjbXNmMjNOMzFOZEQ2UT09 \n  \nMeeting ID: 869 0451 1117\nPasscode: 755935 \nOne tap mobile\n+16465588656\,\,86904511117#\,\,\,\,*755935# US (New York)\n+13017158592\,\,86904511117#\,\,\,\,*755935# 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: 869 0451 1117\nPasscode: 755935\nFind your local number: https://us06web.zoom.us/u/kvcPfu4JL \n

SUMMARY:Wine Wednesday ~ Wines from Old Wineries
DESCRIPTION:“I love everything that is old; old friends\, old times\, old manners\, old books\, and old wines.” -Oliver Goldsmith\, The Vicar of Wakefield.  It sounds like old Oliver would be thrilled with this weeks topic of discussion for Wine Wednesday\, as we old friends will be talking about old wines\, some of which will undoubtedly come forth from old manors\, as we look at wines from wineries that have been in existence for over 100 years.  \n  \nAll details for each individual event are posted here closer to the actual event and distributed to PWS members via e-mail in advance of the event each week. \nPlease check back here the week of the event for Zoom connection information. \nMost important is to reserve your Wednesday evenings now for this fun and interesting exploration of wine!

SUMMARY:Wine Wednesday ~ Chardonnay
DESCRIPTION:This week for wine Wednesday will take a look (and have a taste) at what is perhaps the world’s most polarizing wine; Chardonnay.  Originally from Burgundy\, used in all kinds of sparkling wines\, and without the distinctive flavors of other white varieties like Sauvignon Blanc or Riesling\, Chardonnay is said to be the most popular white wine on earth. On the other hand\, it’s a topic of conversation so adamantly admonished by its detractors that it may keep a couple of our regulars from even opening their Zoom app to join the call. Let’s talk it through and see if those who like it can get to the bottom of what makes a good Chardonnay\, while those who don’t are encouraged to show and tell us why you feel it’s worst. \nAll details for each individual event are posted here closer to the actual event and distributed to PWS members via e-mail in advance of the event each week. \nPlease check back here the week of the event for Zoom connection information. \nMost important is to reserve your Wednesday evenings now for this fun and interesting exploration of wine!

SUMMARY:Wine Wednesday ~ Anything But Chardonnay
DESCRIPTION:It’s ABC Day on Wine Wednesday! Last week we looked at some of our favorite Chardonnays\, and no doubt a few of you were not enamored with the topic.  Well friends\, this is your Wednesday\, as this week we will be discussing literally any wine you want to highlight\, as long as no one even mentions the word “Chardonnay.”  So\, bring your Cabernets\, Rieslings\, Viogniers\, Malbecs\, Albarinos\, Merlots\, or one of any of the hundreds of other grape varieties at your disposal\, and tell us why what you picked is so much better than that stuff we discussed last week. \nAll details for each individual event are posted here closer to the actual event and distributed to PWS members via e-mail in advance of the event each week. \nPlease check back here the week of the event for Zoom connection information. \nMost important is to reserve your Wednesday evenings now for this fun and interesting exploration of wine!

SUMMARY:PWS 35th Anniversary Celebration Gala
DESCRIPTION:This event is SOLD OUT.  The product has been removed from the Shoppe page.    Event information remains here as a reference for those attending.\nOn Saturday evening\, November 12th\, 2022 we will celebrate the 35th Anniversary of the Pennsylvania Wine Society. To commemorate this milestone\, we planned a special event for PWS members and guests. \nIt will be held in the Main Gallery of the American Antique Car Museum at 161 Museum Drive\, Hershey\, PA. The Museum is on PA Route 39\, a convenient location slightly north of Giant Center and Hershey Park.  We start at 6:00 p.m.in the Miami backdrop section of the museum\, pouring Champagne—James Bond’s favorite—Bollinger Special Cuvee. Wine Spectator loved this Champagne and awarded it 93 points. \nStroll through the museum’s remarkable number of beautiful antique cars while you sip Champagne and listen to fabulous Jazz Duo Steve Rudolph and Hassan J. J. Shakur.  Steve and Hassan are well known\, accomplished musicians with more than 50 years of performing experience. \nYou may remember Steve as the pianist at the Hilton during his 22 year gig as the house pianist for jazz programming.  Steve has traveled around the world playing his music\, performed and recorded with a large number of talented musicians\, and has mentored many young musicians with his founding of the Central Pennsylvania Friends of Jazz; now in existence for over 40 years. \nA native of Los Angeles\, Hassan is the son of renowned jazz pianist Gerry Wiggins. He has been the bassist for the Duke Ellington Orchestra since 1974 and still tours and performs with them regularly.  Hassan is a recording artist\, appearing on over 150 recordings with jazz greats Scott Hamilton\, Monty Alexander\, Chuck Redd and countless others.   He has been a resident of Central PA since 1978. \nAt 6:45 p.m. we move to the Route 66 section of the museum for our buffet dinner. This area is really distinctive\, with various replicas of shops and scenes from America’s most famous highway\, Route 66\, on display.  You’ll want to have the next wine in hand to finish with the first course green salad.  The wine is a high-end Chateauneuf du Pape Blanc\, 2020 Domaine des Senechaux. Wine Spectator describes it as “Juicy and fresh\, showing a delicious core of white peach and starfruit flavors\, with subtle lemon shortbread\, acacia and verbena accents. It offers a nice underlying acidity that helps extend and define the finish.” Wine Spectator gave this wine 93 points. \nThe main course follows with entrées:  Porcini Crusted Beef Tenderloin (Gluten Free) and Mushroom Ravioli with Parmesan in a sage brown butter sauce (Vegetarian). The two sides are Bundled Haricot Vert and a Wild Rice Medley with herbs and spices. \nTo accompany the entrées\, we chose two classic reds. Chateau Montrose 2018 La Dame de Montrose from Saint-Estèphe\, Left Bank Bordeaux.  Review notes state \n“The 2018 La Dame de Montrose is composed of 52% Merlot\, 39% Cabernet Sauvignon\, 5% Petit Verdot and 4% Cabernet Franc. This deep garnet-purple colored wine delivers a profound aroma of baked plums\, blackberry preserves and raisin cake with touches of dark chocolate\, licorice\, Chinese five spice and sandalwood. Full-bodied\, rich and opulent in the mouth\, it fills the palate with ripe generous fruit\, backed by firm\, rounded tannins and seamless freshness\, finishing long and spicy.”-Wine Advocate\, 95-96 points. \nThe second is Amarone della Valpolicella Classico\, 2011 Ambrosan\, produced by Nicolis from the Verona area in northeastern Italy.  ‘’The Ambrosan wafts up extroverted and opulent\, with exotic spices and cherries giving way to mocha and sweet pipe tobacco. This wine is silky-smooth\, balancing both savory and sweet. There is so much depth and focus here\, showing citrus-tinged plum skins with coffee and dark chocolate. The finish goes on and on\, incredibly long yet balanced.” -Vinous Media\, 96 points. \nFor a sweet finish—mini Caramel Apple Cheesecake bars for dessert. We selected Weingut Hopler Trockenbeerenauslese  2015 to pair with it.   Burgenland is the source of Austria’s finest botrytized sweet wines. This blend of 35% Samling 88\, 35% Welschriesling and 30% Riesling is lush and balanced with aging noted to enhance its complexity.  “… spicy nose with white pepper\, citrus zest and ripe yellow fruit.  The palate has a high and intense sweetness with mild acidity and a plump finish.” – Wine Spectator\, 91 points. \nYou can see that all these wines are fantastic! They are also expensive—and worth every penny.   This gala is generously subsidized to reduce member reservation prices thanks to a decision of the PWS Board of Directors\, and your past support of PWS. \n100% COVID 19 vaccination proof is required to confirm event reservations. Safe distancing and safety precautions as well as all Museum policies will be followed as we are their guests. Precautions are based on any CDC or PA DOH reported geographic regional exposure risk at the time of the event. \nEVENT is SOLD OUT!   Information remains for reference for those attending. \n
