SUMMARY:Wine Wednesday ~ Cabernet Franc
DESCRIPTION:by Marty Cook \nThe enigmatic Cabernet Franc. Parent grape of both Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon\, which are two of the six Noble Grapes. Parent grape to three of the six allowable red grapes permitted in a red Bordeaux blend\, and itself one of those six allowable red grapes. A grape that yields complex red wines\, with aromas of raspberry\, bramble\, and bell pepper\, Cabernet Franc is principally grown for blending with Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot in the Bordeaux style; but\, it can also be vinified alone\, as in the Loire’s Chinon or throughout the wine regions of North America’s East Coast. And\, yet\, it is a grape that evokes strong emotional responses in favor of or against it. \nJoin us for this week’s installment of Wine Wednesday on October 6th at 7:00 PM Eastern Time when we explore the many portrayals of Cabernet Franc wines. There is more to this wine than Chinon. And\, as a reminder\, shoot some photos of the front and back labels of your bottle of choice and send them to WineCat@pa.net by 11 PM Tuesday evening\, for inclusion in our weekly PowerPoint slide show. \nWe look forward to seeing you and learning about your Cabernet Franc during Wine Wednesday on October 6th at 7:00 PM Eastern Time!  Zoom link below. \nNO reservations necessary.  Just send label photos to WineCat as noted above and click the zoom link Wednesday evening at 7 PM to join.\nJoin Zoom Meeting \nhttps://us06web.zoom.us/j/84123773137?pwd=SjhrUjBrQkNHa0ROd0xrWEhEUDVLZz09 \n  \nMeeting ID: 841 2377 3137 \nPasscode: 113342 \nOne tap mobile \n+16465588656\,\,84123773137#\,\,\,\,*113342# US (New York) \n+13017158592\,\,84123773137#\,\,\,\,*113342# 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+1 720 707 2699 US (Denver) \n+1 253 215 8782 US (Tacoma) \n+1 346 248 7799 US (Houston) \nMeeting ID: 841 2377 3137 \nPasscode: 113342 \nFind your local number: https://us06web.zoom.us/u/klQ44zAg2 \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n

SUMMARY:Wine Wednesday ~ Wines of Italy
DESCRIPTION:by Marty Cook \nOur next Wine Wednesday focuses on the Wines of Italy this coming week on 10.13.2021 at 7:00 pm Eastern/New York Time. \nFrom a wine perspective\, Italy has a fascinating story. Twenty-five percent of the world’s recognized wine-producing grape varieties are indigenous to Italy. This is a direct tribute to the Romans\, who loved wine\, and to the Catholic Church\, whose monks were constantly cultivating new varieties of wine grapes as an extension of their passion for making sacramental wine. Unlike the French\, whose focus was on developing fewer grape varieties and only those of greater quality\, the Romans and subsequently the Italians focused on the quantity of different grape varieties as well as the quantity of wines produced. For that reason\, there is no shortage of different Italian wines from which to choose. \nFor this week’s Wine Wednesday on 10.13.2021 at 7:00 pm Eastern Time\, consider the many wines of Italy’s 20 Regions (comprised of 110 provinces) and choose the wine that you would enjoy featuring during our weekly Zoom broadcast. Some of what you might ponder could be a blend or single varietals ranging from Arneis\, Vermentino\, Primitivo (known as Zinfandel in the United States)\, Verdicchio\, Sangiovese\, Nero d’Avola\, Nebbiolo\, or another of Italy’s hundreds of indigenous wine grapes. And\, of course\, recent decades have seen regions such as Tuscany produce some outstanding blends and varietals from French grape varieties. So\, there is no shortage of material from which to choose. \nSo\, please join us for Wine Wednesday on 10.13.2021 at 7:00 pm Eastern Time. And\, as a reminder\, please send photos of the front and back labels from the bottle you select to WineCat@pa.net by 11 PM Tuesday evening for inclusion in our weekly PowerPoint of featured wines. We look forward to seeing you on the Zoom link shown below! \nhttps://us06web.zoom.us/j/85310180452?pwd=T3BzR1h6RU1leDZJNzlWZmFtZHl6QT09 \nMeeting ID: 853 1018 0452 \nPasscode: 076648 \nOne tap mobile \n+16465588656\,\,85310180452#\,\,\,\,*076648# US (New York) \n+13017158592\,\,85310180452#\,\,\,\,*076648# 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: 853 1018 0452 \nPasscode: 076648 \nFind your local number: https://us06web.zoom.us/u/kcle7i6keF

SUMMARY:Wine Wednesday ~ Wines at\, or lower than\, 12.5% Alcohol-By-Volume
DESCRIPTION:Wines at 12.5% ABV or Less          by Marty Cook \nOur next Wine Wednesday episode\, which airs on Wednesday\, October 20th at 7:00 PM Eastern/New York Time\, will confront the topic of wines at 12.5% Alcohol by Volume (ABV) or Less. \nWhen I first began to explore wine in 1971\, wines rarely exceeded 12.5% ABV.  Yeast strains at that time only tolerated ABV’s of 13.6% at the top end before they naturally succumbed to the effects of alcohol\, whereupon they fell to the floor of the fermenter and subsequently died.  So\, sitting down with a friend over a bottle of wine in those days left both of you relatively sober.  That was before scientists developed yeast strains that could tolerate ABV’s north of 16%. \nSeveral decades ago\, New World wine producers began pushing the limits of high-alcohol wines\, which was easy to do in sun and heat-laden areas.  This resulted in higher sugar-per-berry content\, yielding bigger\, bolder fruit bombs of higher ABV and lower acidity. In recent years\, however\, a backlash among consumers arose that persuaded producers to back off of these techniques. \nThere are plenty of wines available today at 12.5% ABV or less\, albeit\, you may have to search a bit.  So\, the task for our next Wine Wednesday on October 20th at 7:00 PM Eastern/New York Time will be to secure a bottle of wine with an ABV of 12.5% or less that you would like to feature during Wine Wednesday.  And\, as usual\, please send photos of the front and back labels of your wine bottle to WineCat@pa.net by 11 PM Tuesday for inclusion in our weekly PowerPoint presentation. \nWe look forward to seeing you for Wine Wednesday on October 20th at 7:00 PM Eastern/New York Time for some fun with wine!  The Zoom link for this virtual event is shown below. \nhttps://us06web.zoom.us/j/89425448612?pwd=SW41SHZ5aFpvNkhxTTFlQ0tCMUowUT09 \n Meeting ID: 894 2544 8612 \nPasscode: 525858 \nOne tap mobile \n+13126266799\,\,89425448612#\,\,\,\,*525858# US (Chicago) \n+16465588656\,\,89425448612#\,\,\,\,*525858# 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: 894 2544 8612 \nPasscode: 525858 \nFind your local number: https://us06web.zoom.us/u/kDPrgzOc5 \n  \n  \n  \n

SUMMARY:German Wine Labels with guest\, Inge Mountz
DESCRIPTION:by Marty Cook \nHave you ever wandered into your wine store’s German section\, only to feel totally overwhelmed? At first glance\, your first impression is that the bottles are all very decorative with their multi-colored and very artistically done labels. But\, upon closer inspection\, deciphering the Germanic font with strange accents over some of the lettering in the words can become quickly perplexing. You are confronted by many uniquely new and strange words and without the slightest clue as to where to begin or what it is that you are reading! Well\, fear not! \nOur next Virtual Wine Tasting event on Zoom\, which takes place on Sunday\, October 24th at 3:30 pm Eastern/New York Time\, will dispel the confusion that surrounds interpreting German wine labels. During this segment of our regularly scheduled virtual programming\, our host Joe Via and his guest host Inge Mountz will cut through the mystery of German wine labels and how to understand them. Inge is a German native whose first language is German\, and she will offer correct pronunciations for the many words to which we may not relate\, while Joe Via will guide us through a basic “German Wines 101”. During his overview of the German wine industry\, Joe will touch upon Germany’s wine history\, its thirteen regions\, and the way that the German wine industry addresses wine quality and other details on its wine labels. \nPlease join us on Sunday\, Sunday\, October 24th at 3:30 pm Eastern/New York Time for this exciting look inside German wines and their labels! Get a bottle or two of German wine (anything except Blue Nun!) and be prepared to eliminate any confusion that German wine labels may cause you to experience! We look forward to seeing you at the Zoom link displayed below! \n https://us06web.zoom.us/j/84264611666?pwd=Ky9lbzBZQkRabGhnNmlOZWRBTDF2Zz09 \nMeeting ID: 842 6461 1666 \nPasscode: 154898 \nOne tap mobile \n+13126266799\,\,84264611666#\,\,\,\,*154898# US (Chicago) \n+16465588656\,\,84264611666#\,\,\,\,*154898# 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 6461 1666 \nPasscode: 154898 \nFind your local number: https://us06web.zoom.us/u/kcDURoKzC6

SUMMARY:Wine Wednesday ~ Give Us a Recommendation
DESCRIPTION:Our next Wine Wednesday\, on October 27th at 7:00 p.m. Eastern/New York time will feature your wine recommendations. This is a wide open topic and gives you a wide berth of considerations from which to choose. You could recommend a wine to pair with a particular meal; so\, in your estimation\, what goes best with steak?  But\, there are those of us who prefer seafood or fowl or even pork or ham to red meat.  So\, what\, then? And\, of course\, what about the challenge of vegetarian meals?  And\, one of my favorites would be pairing wines with desserts! \nYou may also wish to make your recommendations based on the time of year\, such as summer and warm weather as opposed to cooler or colder weather.  And\, then there are occasions.  What is your preferred sparkler for New Year’s Eve?  Or\, how about Christmas or Hanukkah?  What goes great with grilled foods for the Fourth of July?  How about Easter and Passover foods?  And\, let’s remember that Turkey Day is right around the corner! \nA variety of situations are on the table for this Wine Wednesday!  So\, give this some thought and join us on Zoom at 7:00 p.m. Eastern/New York time on Wednesday\, October 27th for some fun and socialization at the link shown below.  We hope to see you then! \nhttps://us06web.zoom.us/j/82075902458?pwd=Ym5mbkpTTGlqcHNBSzFUS29qTnNJQT09 \nMeeting ID: 820 7590 2458\nPasscode: 817937\nOne tap mobile\n+13126266799\,\,82075902458#\,\,\,\,*817937# US (Chicago)\n+16465588656\,\,82075902458#\,\,\,\,*817937# 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: 820 7590 2458\nPasscode: 817937\nFind your local number: https://us06web.zoom.us/u/kd7mCdBnW3
