SUMMARY:Wine Wednesday ~ Rhône Whites & Reds
DESCRIPTION:Rhône Whites & Reds      by Marty Cook \n \nThe Rhône wine region of France has been making wine for over 2000 years.  The area is broken up into the Northern Rhône and the Southern Rhône\, and the history and wines of the entire area is well-documented.  The Northern Rhône wines are exclusively red wines made primarily from the Syrah grape\, while the Southern Rhône region is known for a number of grapes and blends of both red and white wines. \nOur next Wine Wednesday takes place on June 2nd at 7:00 p.m. Eastern/New York time and will examine the many possibilities of the entire Rhône region. Surprise us with your favorite Rhône wine\, or ask the Wine Specialist in your local wine and spirits shop to assist in your selection. Then\, join us for an hour of sharing\, learning\, and engagement as we look at what this ancient winegrowing region has to offer. \n Oh\, and\, please remember to send photos of the front and back labels of your Rhône wine to WineCat@pa.net for inclusion in our PowerPoint slide show that will appear during our Zoom session next Wednesday at 7:00 p.m. We look forward to seeing you at the link shown below! \nhttps://zoom.us/j/94073160420?pwd=aE80ZDhleVFwcnBwdnRCZjlNSnRxdz09  \nMeeting ID: 940 7316 0420 \nPasscode: 032758 \nOne tap mobile \n+13017158592\,\,94073160420#\,\,\,\,*032758# US (Washington DC) \n+13126266799\,\,94073160420#\,\,\,\,*032758# 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: 940 7316 0420 \nPasscode: 032758 \nFind your local number: https://zoom.us/u/abLtU28KDb \n  \n

SUMMARY:Wine Wednesday ~ Iberian Peninsula
DESCRIPTION:Wines of the Iberian Peninsula       by Marty Cook \nThe Iberian Peninsula can lay claim to a rich and diverse history and culture. Home to two maritime nations that spawned many explorers and Conquistadors that\, rightfully or wrongfully\, settled an enormous portion of the globe in centuries past\, and the destination of choice for many of today’s world travelers\, both Spain and Portugal also hold sway in today’s world of wine production and wine appreciation. \nThere is more to wines of the Iberian Peninsula than just the regions of the Dão (Portugal) or the Rioja (Spain)\, and many grapes are grown throughout the many wine regions of both countries. \nSo\, put on your own explorer’s hat and set out to conquer the Portuguese and Spanish sections of your local Wine & Spirits shop and let’s show a bit of diversity and creativity in our search for grapes other than the usual ones above. Portugal alone grows grapes from A-to-V (Alvariñho to Viosiñho).  Spain has the world’s largest vineyard area\, which gives it an unparalleled wealth and diversity in terms of grape varieties and wine styles: still wines\, sparkling\, fortified\, etc. – a treasure trove from Airén to Xarello.  There is so much from which to choose!    Let’s see some unique wine region and varietal shopping – it will be fun to share! \nDate and time for this upcoming Wine Wednesday is June 9th at 7:00 p.m. Eastern/New York Time Zone. And\, as a reminder\, please shoot a photo of the front and back labels of your bottle and e-mail them to WineCat@pa.net for inclusion in our weekly Wine Wednesday PowerPoint slide show. This promises to be a very interesting installment of Wine Wednesday\, not to mention “affordable”\, as prices for Portuguese and Spanish wines can be very attractive! \nWe look forward to seeing you this coming Wednesday at 7:00 p.m. Eastern/New York Time Zone! \nhttps://zoom.us/j/99969009821?pwd=cWZ1eDcxNFcrQ1FrOVZwanJxZ2tGUT09  \nMeeting ID: 999 6900 9821\nPasscode: 266455\nOne tap mobile\n+13126266799\,\,99969009821#\,\,\,\,*266455# US (Chicago)\n+16465588656\,\,99969009821#\,\,\,\,*266455# 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: 999 6900 9821\nPasscode: 266455\nFind your local number: https://zoom.us/u/adSKSP1ICF

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:Wine Wednesday ~ Wines from Regions/Wineries You Visited
DESCRIPTION:Wines from Regions/Wineries You have Visited     by Marty Cook \nIt is likely that all of us have visited a winery or a number of wineries in various wine regions.  These explorations are tremendous fun!  And\, each winery and wine region introduce you to a number of wines from which to draw conclusions. \nVirtually every winery makes at least one wine varietal for which it is well known\, i.e.\, its signature wine.  Perhaps they are known for both a red and a white.  Beyond that\, every wine region or AVA usually has a reputation for one or several grape varieties on which they have hung the collective hat of the wineries that reside within that region or AVA. \nOn the East Coast\, one might identify Finger Lakes wineries and the wines that they produce with such grape varieties as Riesling or Cabernet Franc.  Or\, a visitor to Central Virginial might identify that area with the Viognier grape.  Or\, a region may be known for its Bordeaux-like red blends\, or its cooler climate grape varieties such as Chardonnay and Pinot Noir. \nFor this coming Wine Wednesday\, select a wine region or a winery that you have visited whose representative wines you particularly enjoyed.  Secure a bottle of the wine that you would like to showcase during this coming Wine Wednesday and join us at 7:00 p.m. on Wednesday evening at 7:00 p.m. Eastern/New York time. \nAs always\, please remember to photograph the front and back labels of your bottle and e-mail them to WineCat@pa.net  ~ PRIOR TO Wednesday ~ for inclusion in our weekly PowerPoint slide show of the wines we will taste. \nWe look forward to seeing you at the following Zoom link (see below) this coming Wednesday at 7:00 pm Eastern/New York time!  Please join us! \nhttps://us02web.zoom.us/j/86770589363 \nMeeting ID: 867 7058 9363 \nOne tap mobile \n+13126266799\,\,86770589363# US (Chicago) \n+16468769923\,\,86770589363# US (New York) \nDial by your location \n+1 312 626 6799 US (Chicago) \n+1 646 876 9923 US (New York) \n+1 301 715 8592 US (Washington DC) \n+1 346 248 7799 US (Houston) \n+1 408 638 0968 US (San Jose) \n+1 669 900 6833 US (San Jose) \n+1 253 215 8782 US (Tacoma) \nMeeting ID: 867 7058 9363 \nFind your local number: https://us02web.zoom.us/u/kjvSUrI3R

SUMMARY:Wine Wednesday ~ Eastern American Wines (Maine to the Rockies and Michigan to Texas)
DESCRIPTION:Wine Wednesday         by Marty Cook \nThe work week is dragging on and you are half of the way to the weekend.  Wednesday\, or “Hump Day”\, as it is commonly called.  You need a little pick-me-up.  Something more than a beer\, some dinner\, and a sitcom.  You have been practicing some form of sheltering-in-place for the past twelve months and you are about ready to scream!  As the late\, great Peggy Lee once sang\, “Is that all there is?”\, despair not!  Now\, when you reach your mid-week crisis and Wednesday leaves you adrift between the faint memory that was last weekend and what seems to be a mirage teasing you with the prospects of this coming weekend\, help has arrived in the form of Wine Wednesday! \nWine Wednesday is the latest virtual offering from the Pennsylvania Wine Society! Join us on Zoom every Wednesday evening at 7:00 pm!  The link is published in separate announcements on our PWS Facebook Page as well as in separate announcements that are sent to our eMail distribution list. The format for this new virtual offering is simple. It is casual\, social\, and informative.  theme for that evening is included in our social media and eMail announcements.  It gives all of our participants a chance to let their hair down and socialize over a glass of wine. \nAll details will be distributed in advance of the event each week.  The important part is to remember to reserve your Wednesday evenings to join us for Wine Wednesday!

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
