SUMMARY:Wine Wednesday ~ "if  you could have only one wine..."
DESCRIPTION:by Marty Cook \nImagine being marooned on a desert island with nothing but a secure\, climate-controlled wine cellar and an endless supply of wine but limited to only one varietal or blend. Not necessarily your favorite\, but possibly your “forever” wine. What would that one wine be? \nAll details will be distributed to PWS members in advance of the event each week.  Everyone may always check back here the week of the event for Zoom connection information!

SUMMARY:Louis Jadot Chardonnay Comparison
DESCRIPTION:Louis Jadot Chardonnay Comparison            by Marty Cook \nPlease join us with Host Joe Via on Sunday\, August 8th at 3:30 pm Eastern/New York Time for an hour long presentation that will explain and lead us through tasting of Chardonnay wines from the Burgundy region of France. Did  you know that a white\, Burgundy wine is\, by definition\, almost always a Chardonnay? Joe will demonstrate this by comparing three white\, Burgundy wines from Maison Louis Jadot that are all made from the Chardonnay grape. With oak\, with-out oak and Pouilly-Fuisse (po͞oˌyē fwēˈsā). Huh? \nThis will be a tasting and discussion about three Louis Jadot white\, Burgundy’s (Chardonnay’s). Three rather different Chardonnay’s.  Joe will discuss how each of these wines has its own distinctions and application for food pairing. The discussion will also touch upon basic Burgundy geography and weather. Grapes will be discussed with maps of the Burgundy region; but\, the discussion will ultimately zero in on the Mâconnais district which is located in the south of the Burgundy wine region in France. The three wines selected will also help us understand the French Appellation of Origin (AOC) system. Like zeroing in on a bulls-eye\, each wine tasted will take us a little closer to the center. And\, what better time to learn more about Chardonnay than on a hot August afternoon! \nAll three of these offerings have standard store availability in Pennsylvania Fine Wine & Good Spirits Stores at affordable prices. \n \n  \nLouis Jadot White Burgundy \nPA LCB Code #6406 \n$18.99 \n“This Bourgogne Chardonnay is a fruity wine showing aromas of flowers and fruit flesh; it is harmonious and very pleasant. Ideally it can be drunk with vegetable terrines\, poultry\, goat cheese but also as an apéritif. It will be very pleasant at a temperature between 10 to 12°C. After 2 or 3 years of aging\, other aromas will develop allowing this chardonnay to be paired with a more sophisticated cuisine.”    –Winemaker notes \n  \n \nLouis Jadot Macon Villages Chardonnay \nPA LCB Code #7206 \n$15.99 \n“The Mâcon Villages area is located in the southern part of Burgundy\, close to the Beaujolais area. This appellation is the largest of the Mâconnais area\, covering about 2 500 ha of vineyards and 43 communes. Forty three villages have the right to produce Mâcon Blanc Villages. Mâcon Villages are only white wines. The wines are made from 100% Chardonnay grapes. The limestone subsoil of the Monts du Mâconnais are ideal for growing the Chardonnay grapes. Some small areas produce exceptional wines. The Louis Jadot Mâcon Blanc Villages is made from grapes from these different areas.”  –Winemaker notes \n  \n \nLouis Jadot Pouilly-Fuisse \nPA LCB Code #6411 \n$27.99 \n“Deep straw—yellow. Opulent cream and toast aromas. Moderately full—bodied\, ripe palate with vibrant acidity. Supple and drinking beautifully. Drink now.” \n–Winemaker notes \n  \nSo\, plan now to pick up some or all three of the above Louis Jadot wines that we will  discuss and join us on Zoom (the link is shown below) on Sunday\, August 8th at 3:30 pm Eastern Time to learn more about the nuance that can be found in three wines from the same region. We look forward to seeing you! \nJoin “Louis Jadot Chardonnay Comparison” by clicking on the following link: \nhttps://us06web.zoom.us/j/81977194944?pwd=Z0JIM0tRRFRuUTU4MEVsVzJ2UjhTdz09 \nMeeting ID: 819 7719 4944\nPasscode: 807062\nOne tap mobile\n+13017158592\,\,81977194944#\,\,\,\,*807062# US (Washington DC)\n+13126266799\,\,81977194944#\,\,\,\,*807062# 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: 819 7719 4944\nPasscode: 807062\nFind your local number: https://us06web.zoom.us/u/kdFyW2omI1 \n

SUMMARY:Wine Wednesday ~ "Plonk"
DESCRIPTION:PLONK          by Marty Cook \nWhat is “Plonk”?  Wikipedia defines it thusly: \n“Plonk is a non-specific and derogatory term used primarily in British and Australian English for cheap\, low-quality wine. It is believed to come from Australian slang\, in reference to blanc\, before it became naturalised in Britain. Despite the reference to the colour white\, the term is not limited to white wine\, and can as easily indicate a red wine or rosé.” \nFor the sake of this segment of Wine Wednesday\, which takes place on Wednesday\, August 11th at 7:00 p.m. Eastern/New York time\, we will elevate our definition by interpreting “Plonk” as inexpensive (“affordable”) wines of little or no repute that are nonetheless palatable\, easy-drinking wines.  We could go so far as to say that they are wines that you would not be embarrassed to serve but about which you may not necessarily care to share the details.  We could go so far as to include jug wines\, box wines\, and even canned wines\, although there are many examples of affordable\, easy-drinking wines that are packaged in 750 ml bottles.  Some may go so far as to have cork closures! The key ingredient in all of this is “affordable” and “palatable” wines. If that is Boone’s Farm Strawberry Hill or Gallo Hearty Burgundy\, then so be it.  Or\, if you get on your inner snob\, then it might be some version of Châteauneuf-du-Pape. To each their own. \nSo\, put your pride aside\, hold your nose\, and confess what wine really gets you through the workweek. Join us on Wednesday\, August 11th at 7:00 pm Eastern/New York time for this coming installment of Wine Wednesday and be ready to share your favorite Plonk with us! Oh\, and\, as always\, please photograph the front and back labels of your chosen wine and send those pics to WineCat@pa.net by 11 p.m. Tuesday evening for inclusion in our weekly PowerPoint slide show presentation. We hope to see you at the Zoom link shown below. Take care! \nhttps://us06web.zoom.us/j/83188822681?pwd=am9vbUU1ajBra25wL3hDSUtWNkFPdz09  \nMeeting ID: 831 8882 2681\nPasscode: 488490\nOne tap mobile\n+16465588656\,\,83188822681#\,\,\,\,*488490# US (New York)\n+13017158592\,\,83188822681#\,\,\,\,*488490# 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: 831 8882 2681\nPasscode: 488490\nFind your local number: https://us06web.zoom.us/u/keGazllNUd \n
