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:Vino Italiano
DESCRIPTION:On Friday evening\, June 24 at 7:00 pm at the Hilton Harrisburg\, we will experience a special event featuring nine carefully selected wines from Italy. We will be pouring four white wines and five red wines representing nine different wine appellations from seven different Italian regions (states). Our wine tour of Italy will cover Piedmont and Veneto in the north\, Tuscany in central Italy and Campania\, Molise and Sicily in southern Italy. We will also have a beautiful wine from Sardinia that kind of defies the easy geographical labeling of the rest of Italy. \nOne thing that is easy to say about Sardinia is that it’s a perfect place to grow its preferred wine grapes. Our wine from this island will be a Vermentino.  Most Italians will tell you the very best Vermentino comes from Sardinia…and this one is delicious. It is a crisp white with a tantalizing taste of lemon. \nWe will be pouring an Arneis from Piedmont. This is a smooth and flavorful white from a native grape of the region produced by Damilano. region produced by Damilano. They are a prestigious\, family-owned winery that we were fortunate to visit. Their wines are fantastic! \nSicily is Italy’s largest region (state) in both population and land area. It has more vineyard land than any other region. Our white from Sicily is 100% Carricante. This grape produces a lively\, crisp wine with lots of minerality; not surprising considering Sicily’s volcanic soil. \nOur last white is a beautiful and very interesting wine from Campania east of Naples. It is made entirely from Coda di Volpe. The translation is Tail of the Fox. That is the grape. I’m wondering how many of you have ever had that wine?! Well\, you will experience it at this event! \nOur first red in the lineup is a very nice Nero d’Avola from Sicily. It is Sicily’s most prominent native grape. This wine is deep and rich with black-fruit flavors and a hint of exotic spice. \nOur next red is from Molise. How many of you have ever heard of Molise…probably not too many\, let alone taste wine from there. This is a nice little gem. It is 85% Montepulciano. This is a red grape that grows mainly along the east coast of Italy. But it doesn’t grow near the City of Montepulciano. Go figure. \nOf course\, we couldn’t have an Italian wine event without having reds from Tuscany. We have two. If we have two reds from Tuscany\, then one has to be a super Tuscan…and it is. It is Toscana Rosso from Altesino. My wife and I had an opportunity to taste this wine at the winery. \nWe really loved it. It has a Sangiovese base\, 80%\, with 10% Cabernet Sauvignon and 10% Merlot. Sangiovese is the noble grape of Tuscany but both Cab Sauvignon and Merlot grow very well here and their acreage is increasing. \nWe go back to northern Italy for our next red. It is from Zenato in Veneto located in northeastern Italy. It is a wine you don’t see very often. It is 100% Corvina. While Corvina is the leading grape of Veneto\, it is virtually always included in a blend with Rondinella and Molinara\, also sometimes with Oseleta.  Zenato is a leading winery in Veneto and this is one of their best wines. It is very expensive but worth every penny. \nOur last wine is from Tuscany. It is a Chianti Classico DOCG from the heart of the greater Chianti area. This wine is 100% Sangiovese made by Castello di Bossi. This estate has been producing wine since the ninth century AD. It is located in the southern section of the Classico appellation near Siena. The grapes for this wine are from a single vineyard\, Bossi. The grapes are grown at an elevation of 1\,155 feet with a southwestern exposure facing Siena. \nThis will be the ONLY PWS Italian wine event for the year. You will not want to miss this exceptional tasting. Join us for an evening enjoying some of the finest wines Italy has to offer. We will also have a selection of fine cheeses and Hilton baguettes. \n100% COVID 19 vaccination proof with follow-up 14-day waiting period completion is required to confirm event reservations.   All CDC and PA DOH distancing and safety precautions as well as the Hilton Harrisburg’s practices and policies will be followed as we are their guests. \nTables of 4 persons each may be reserved via communication in your online reservation notes or to the Treasurers.  Click here to reserve seats online.  Hope to see you there. \nMember Reservation—$60 \nPatron Reservation—$55  \nNonmember Reservation—$70 \n

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

SUMMARY:The 20th PA Wine Excellence Awards Event - SOLD OUT
DESCRIPTION:THIS EVENT IS SOLD OUT – Reservations closed Tuesday\, January 24th at 5 PM\nThe event on January 29th is actually a celebration. Not only will you be tasting the top eleven Pennsylvania wines as judged by our PA Wine Society panel\, but we will be doing this for the 20th time. I still remember the beginning – dedicated\, excited\, hesitant\, hopeful. We experienced all of those emotions as we sought to recognize and encourage the Pennsylvania wine industry. \nThe changes and improvements over 20 years have been remarkable.  I know you will want to try the current top ten. While you taste you will hear from winery representatives who will talk about how the wines were produced and perhaps refer to the development of their wines over those 20 years. \nWe honor the top scoring wine with a beautiful plaque that the winery can display until next year\, and then awarding the runner up wine with a framed document for display. The runner up will be the top scoring wine from the opposite color of grapes.  For instance\, if a red is the top winner\, the runner up will be the top scoring wine made from white grapes. \nA list of the top eleven wines (in alphabetical order) follows.  Yes\, eleven versus ten this year as there were tied scores.  I know you will want to join us for this event at the Harrisburg Hilton on Sunday\, January 29th at 2 p.m. when we reveal the top wine and celebrate each of these wines with the winery teams. \nIf your mantra has been\, “I don’t like PA wines” let this event change your perspective.    Click here to reserve seats online.  RESERVATION DEADLINE is Tuesday\, January 24th at 5 p.m.  \n  \nCassel Vineyards Cabernet Franc 2016 \nChaddsford Sparkling Semillon 2020 \nKaramoor Estate Cabernet Franc 2017 \nKaramoor Estate Meritage 2017 \nLong Shot Desert Rose 2021 \nPresque Isle Wine Cellars Eskimo Kisses 2020 \nSouth Shore Wine Co.

SUMMARY:Women and Wine (In Person Event)
DESCRIPTION:Today’s Women and Their Wines – an in person tasting of nine wines! \nSpring is upon us and what’s a better way to celebrate the longer and warmer days than tasting exceptional wines produced by women in honor of Women’s History Month?  Join us March 26 at 2 p.m. at the Hilton Harrisburg for a celebration of women and wine (and spring!). \nThere were three guiding principles for our wine selection process for this event: \n1) Quality – Every wine is rated 90 points or higher by a recognized wine critic or organization and was approved by our tasting group as a top-notch wine.  The female winemakers creating these wines are all lauded in the industry as among the best winemakers of any gender! \n2) Availability – Every wine is available (as of this writing) through the Fine Wine & Good Spirits stores or on its website\, although not all wines are in every store.  Our goal was to let you run out and buy (or order) your favorites from the tasting. \n3) Variety – The wines are from different grapes made in different styles from regions around the world.  From a California sparkling to a robust Pacific Northwest Cab\, we’ll taste a full range of wines. \nAt the event\, you’ll be greeted with a Brut Rosé from Schramsberg’s winemaker\, Jessica Koga\, whom I had the pleasure of chatting with recently.  I’ll share her insights on her road to winemaking and her wines at the event. \nWe’ll move on to four excellent white wines\, all of which would be heaven sipping on the back deck on a warm spring afternoon or paired with a light summer meal.  We’ll taste a Pinot Grigio from Italy (Elena Walch); a Grüner Veltliner from the Lehigh Valley (Sarah Troxell of Galen Glen); a McBride Sisters New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc and a White Burgundy (Veronique Drouhin-Boss of Joseph Drouhin wines). \nBut not to be forgotten are the reds\, those that are perfect for food or drinking alone.  Come sample an Australian Shiraz (2014 Australian Winemaker of the Year Louisa Rose); an Argentinian Malbec from the renowned Susana Balbo; a California Zinfandel (Queen of Zin\, Carol Shelton) and finally a Columbia Valley Cabernet Sauvignon (Kate Michaud of Double Canyon).  Imagine any of these reds with summer grilled meats or even a juicy burger and you’ll remember that summer isn’t just for white wines! \n Registration deadline is Tuesday March 21st. \n Member Reservation: $70 \nPatron Reservation: $65  \nNonmember Reservation: $90 \n

SUMMARY:SHERRY - Spain's Unique Gift to the Wine World
DESCRIPTION:How can Sherry become hip to the consumer of the 21st century?  Most of us recognize Sherry as a very old wine growing region (the area’s winemaking has its roots back as far as 3\,000 years ago) and as a sweet style of wine. \nBut Sherry is not just sweet – it has a diversity of styles – from dry to sweet.  And with that diversity in wine styles\, Sherry has the ability to pair with a wide range of foods.  So\, if Sherry is so great with food why hasn’t there been a Sherry revolution?  Is it too complicated? Too many styles? \nCertainly its rarity on wine store shelves\, and often being lumped in with dessert wines contribute to the misunderstanding of Sherry. \nSherry is a versatile beverage and our event on Friday\, April 21st at 7 p.m. at the Hilton Harrisburg will showcase this versatility.  Sherry makes a killer cocktail so we will sample two cocktails.  The first cocktail will be made with a dry style of sherry – served at the beginning of the evening.  The second cocktail will be made with a sweeter style sherry – served at the end of the evening. \nIn between we will have six Sherry wines –  ranging from dry to sweet – with three small plates of food. \nFINO \n   Lustau Fino Jarana \nMANZANILLA \n  Bodegas Hidalgo La   Gitana Manzilla   Pasada Pastrano \n AMONTILLADO \n  Bodego Hidalgo La   Gitana Amontillado   Napoleon \n PALO CORTADO  \n  Gonzalez Byass Palo Cortado Leonor \n OLOROSO \n  Williams and Humbert Oloroso Don Zoilo \n PEDRO XIMÉNEZ (PX)    \n  Lustau Pedro Ximénez San Emilio \nThree plates of food: \n1) Almonds\, Olives\, Manchego Cheese \n2) Spanish Tortilla (potatoes\, onion\, egg) and Croquetas de Jamon (Spanish Ham Croquettes) – Pescetarian Substitute for Croquetas de Jamon is Garlic Shrimp \n3)  Mushroom Risotto \nPlease send any food allergies and requests for substitution WITH YOUR Resevations\, or if you forget then send to the Assistant Treasurer’s email or via the website contact form.  Click here to email. \n  \nThere are so many topics to discuss about Sherry – in addition to an introduction to the solera system for aging Sherry we will touch on: \n\nSherry Casks – highly valued for use in aging other alcoholic beverages.\nVintage Sherry – a very small percentage of production.\nSherry Labeling – if there is no vintage listed\, how do we know how old it is?\nRecent changes to the rules governing the production of Sherry\n\nPlease join us for this informative and enjoyable event. \n    Member:  $100 \n    Patron:  $95 \n    Nonmember:  $120 \n

SUMMARY:La Strada del Vino
DESCRIPTION:On Friday evening\, June 16 at 7:00 pm at the Hilton Harrisburg\, we will be experiencing a special event featuring nine carefully selected wines from Italy. We will be pouring four white wines and five red wines representing eight different wine appellations from seven different Italian regions (states). \nOur wine road in Italy will cover Piedmont and Emilia-Romagna in the north\, Tuscany in central Italy and Abruzzo\, Campania\, Puglia and Sicily in southern Italy. \nThe Wine List   \n ~Whites~ \n Villa Sparina Gavi DOCG del Commune di Gavi 2020. Piedmont. Gavi is known as the white wine jewel of southern Piedmont.  It is the showcase for the Cortese grape. This wine comes from an area that is only 30 miles north of Genoa\, Christopher Columbus’ home town in Liguria.  This Gavi has always been integral to the identity of Villa Sparina. It has a unique strength and exquisite freshness that is a true expression of the appellation. 100% Cortese. James Suckling 91 points. \nCantina Sanpaolo Fiano di Avellino DOCG 2020 Claudio Quarta. Campania. Most Italians believe the greatest expression of Fiano comes from the hills around Avellino east of Naples in Campania. I agree. The winery sits on top of a hill surrounded by vineyards and woods populated by wolves. This wine comes from a single vineyard. It is full of flavor and is pale straw yellow in color. It has a typical herbaceous scent that is well reflected on the palate\, together with a quality of freshness. 100% Fiano. \nCantina Zaccagnini Trebbiano d’Abruzzo DOC 2020 Il Bianco di Ciccio. Abruzzo. When you sip this wine\, you can clearly understand why Trebbiano is the most widely planted white grape in Italy. This wine is medium straw yellow in color. On the nose it is intense and fragrant with a focused bouquet mainly of white-fleshed fruit with hints of citrus and dried fruit. On the palate it displays freshness with a flavor of citrus.   100% Trebbiano d’Abruzzo. \nOttosoldi Gavi DOCG 2021. Piedmont. This wine is a bright and juicy Gavi with ripe lemon\, peach and apple fruits highlighted with a whisper of herbs. Really well-textured on the palate with lifted acidity lending length on the finish. It is a dynamic and versatile white made from organically grown grapes. 100% Cortese. James Suckling 92 points. \n~Reds~ \nPoggio Anima Nero d’Avola Sicilia DOC 2019 Asmodeus. Sicily. This wine is dark garnet in color. It has notes of ripe plums\, leather\, garrigue and pepper on the nose. This Asmodeus displays ripe black cherry and a touch of candied berry on the palate. The finish consists of fruit sweetness and a licorice note with soft gripping tannins to hold it all together. 100% Nero d’Avola. \nTre Monte Romagna Sangiovese Superiore IGT Campo di Mezzo 2020. Emila-Romagna. Made with organically farmed grapes\, this young red has inviting aromas of wild berries\, eucalyptus and tilled earth. It is bright and easy but also delicious.  It features juicy red cherry\, crushed raspberry and star anise set against polished tannins and lively acidity.  100% Sangiovese di Romagna. Vinous 91 points\, Wine Enthusiast 90 points. \nPoggio Anima Primitivo – Salento IGT 2019 Lilith. Puglia. This wine is opaque ruby. It displays smoked meat\, dried cherry\, cracked pepper\, and cassis on the deeply scented nose.  It is medium to full-bodied with berry cobbler flavors showing a liqueur-like intensity with an anise note coming up with air.  The smoke and cassis notes carry through on the finish\, which also features dusty tannins. This is a wine of real intensity and concentration. 100% Primitivo. \nTenuta Degli Dei Tuscana IGT 2019 Le Redini. Tuscany. Le Redini impresses with its energy and vibrancy. Plum\, mocha\, gravel\, spice and licorice are all beautifully delineated. With the 2019 vintage\, Le Redini has an extra kick of energy that is just compelling. It’s a wine of extreme pleasure.  90% Merlot\, 10% Alicante. James Suckling 94 points\, Vinous 93 points \nPoggio Landi Brunello di Montalcino DOCG 2017. Tuscany. A certified-organic wine\, this 2017 Brunello di Montalcino shows a graceful and delicate side with wild cherries\, blue flowers and warm earthiness. The wine is silky and smooth on the palate\, with hints of crushed mineral or limestone. Fresh acidity fuels a long   finish. 100% Sangiovese Grosso. Wine Advocate 93 points\, Wine Spectator 92 points. \nThis will be the ONLY PWS Italian wine event for the year. You will not want to miss this exceptional tasting. Join us for an evening enjoying some of the finest wines Italy has to offer. We will also have a selection of fine cheeses and Hilton baguettes. \n  Member—$65                                          \n  Patron—$60                                   \n  Nonmember—$85   \n

SUMMARY:Summer Sippin' - French Bistro
DESCRIPTION:Join us for our summer outdoor event on the Hilton balcony overlooking Market Square.  We have indoor space available in case of adverse weather\, so no risk other than missing this event if you don’t reserve early.  We are limited by balcony and indoor room space to 20 participants. \nThe date/time is Friday\, July 21st  at 6:30 p.m.  The fare is Fabulous French sippers\, compatible with hot weather\, paired with small bites—Melon Skewers\, Oysters on the half shell\, Shrimp Ceviche\, Berry Dessert Shooters\, and Chocolate Truffles—incredibly edible! \nFrench wine is widely regarded as the best wine in the world. It has amazing soul derived from terroir—the practice of creating wine through allowing it to be deeply influenced by the particular character of the soil\, climate\, sun\, and minerals of the specific area it is grown.  We will venture off the beaten French paths for this event\, so don’t miss it. What do I mean by off the beaten path?  There will be no Chardonnay\, no Champagne\, no Bordeaux—BUT there will be fabulous wines that you may have missed in the PLCB system. \nThe wines by region include: \n\nA sparkling wine we think is a perfect summer aperitif—Vouvray (and that means Chenin Blanc).\nWhite Chateauneuf du Pape. It is100% —are you ready? Viognier.\nAligoté from Bouzeron; the only region in Burgundy that produces Aligoté. It is amazing—terroir shows so well!\nBandol Rosé—this one a blend of Grenache\, Syrah and Mourvèdre. It is fresh and lively and perfect for summer.\nAlsace Pinot Noir—a stunner of a Pinot Noir —wild and “lightly animal” per the winemaker. Lovely harmony\, with length and balance.\nSavoie Mondeuse Noir— a ruby-colored\, delicate\, floral\, nearly ethereal red—terrific with a slight chill. It’s a Weygandt import.\nCahors Malbec—nobody does Malbec better. This one is imported by Kermit Lynch and is so rich\, velvety and wonderful we had to serve it.\n\nWe are so pleased to present this event to you!  It will be a delightful summer’s evening by itself\, but you may extend the adventure—the Hilton is offering a 10% discount on food (alcoholic beverages not included) to those who make reservations in the Ad Lib Restaurant either before or after the event—you choose the time.   \nDinner reservations may be made at opentable.com.  Proof of event participation will be emailed to you prior to the event\, and must be presented to your Hilton server for the discount. The Event Reservation deadline is Tuesday\, July 18th unless we fill the space prior.  Please be aware of this deadline. \n     \n    Member —$70 \n    Patron —$65 \n    Nonmember —$90 \n  \n  \n

SUMMARY:South African Wines
DESCRIPTION:Too quickly dismissed by some\, South Africa is undoubtedly one of the world’s most dynamic wine producers. So\, if your experience of South African wines is from a party ten years ago\, it’s time to take another look!  This wine line-up has fresh\, crisp\, acidic whites and robust smooth reds worth exploring. \nEstablished South African winemakers re-emerged onto the international scene in the early 1990s\, following the demise of the apartheid era.  New wines\, new wineries\, highly qualified winemakers\, and even new regions have appeared steadily ever since. All of this makes South Africa more exciting than ever\, but more complicated\, too.  And that’s why we recruited an expert to guide our tour—Kevin Ostrowski\, PWS member and wine tour guide extraordinaire!   Kevin is American Wine Society’s Western Pennsylvania Regional Ambassador\, Chapter Chair of the AWS Beaver County\, PA\, chapter\, and member of the AWS Education Committee. \nAn AWS Certified Wine Judge\, Kevin is a Certified Specialist of Wine with the Society of Wine Educators\, holds a Wine and Spirits Education Trust  Level 3 Award in Wine and Spirits (with Merit)\, and has completed level 1 Sommelier with the Court of Master Sommeliers. Kevin has    vetted most of these wines; with our tasting team suggesting a few extras (you know… we couldn’t help it).  In addition\, Kevin has toured South Africa’s wine areas and brings personal stories to enrich the presentation and transport us all briefly to this beautiful wine region. \nIn South Africa\, the sustainability initiative is encapsulated by a San word\, hannuwa.  It is a collective word suggesting a life of harmony and plenty; in other words\, success in sustaining life. Hannuwa expresses the wine industry philosophy embodied in the pledge signed by producers: to farm sustainably; to be a custodian of the land and preserve it for future generations; to nurture a culture of respect among the people who work on the farms and in the cellars; to promote an environment of dignity\, equality and upliftment for all; to protect the unique and valuable biodiversity of our winelands; and to safeguard the rich heritage of South Africa’s winelands. AND they make some excellent wines! \nOn Friday\, August 18th at 7 PM—Hilton Harrisburg\, our wine tour begins with a sparkling greeting wine made in traditional style from Chardonnay and Pinot Noir.  Following the bubbles\, we’ll start the program and get serious with the whites.  South Africa boasts some of the world’s great Sauvignon Blanc\, and we have two! \nSouth Africa though\, to many\, suggests Chenin Blanc.  South African Chenins are quite different from French—almost always dry\, but ripe and full of flavor (often with the complexity that comes from the increasingly sought-after old-vine fruit).  We think we’ve narrowed it down to two we want you to try.  (BTW\, one is old vines and lovely!) \nWe’ll move gently to reds with a Cabernet Sauvignon Rosé you’ll likely recognize\, but perhaps haven’t tried because lesser-known regions are sometimes passed by.  And since it’s summer—a second rosé of—guess this one—Pinotage.  You can’t object because no tour of South Africa is complete without Pinotage.  For many it is a love-it-or-hate-it grape.  It is a South African creation (1926) of ‘parents’ Pinot Noir (which imparts its strawberry aromas and lovely texture in young wines\, and more complex\, farmyard characteristics in the more mature)\, and Cinsault\, which adds spice and body. Whether you love or not the grape\, we bet you’ll love this rosé! \nOur first red is another widely planted noble grape–Pinot Noir.  We follow with a Cabernet Franc we found to be like no other we’ve had from anywhere in the world—and it’s so interesting we had to include it\, you understand.  To finish the reds flight we have\, of course\, chosen a Pinotage from the Western Cape.  Pinotage continues to evolve into a plethora of different styles meaning there’s never been a better time to explore\, or revisit\, it.  Seriously.  Join the fun here! \nEqually enjoyable as the wines will be foods native to South Africa. Hilton Chef Bianco is preparing in house the following foods for us.  Isn’t he fabulous to do this for us?! \n\nBiltong (similar to beef jerky)\nPiri-Piri Chicken (grilled with red pepper seasoning but not too hot)\nBoerewors on the Braii (beef sausages) w/Apricot Dijon Sauce\n\nThese small plates will be accompanied by palate cleansing bread or toasted crostini.  Please note any food allergies in the notes section of your reservations or email the treasurers with concerns. \nYou may make reservations via the Shoppe Page of this website.    Reservation deadline is Tuesday\, August 15th    \n      Member —$70 \n      Patron —$65 \n      Nonmember —$90 \n

SUMMARY:The Wines of Sunny Greece
DESCRIPTION:It’s easy to miss Greece as a wine gem because not that much Greek wine is exported.  Greeks love their wine just as Italians do; and   90% of production is consumed in Greece.  Most know Greece has a long\, rich winemaking history\, yet Greek wines are often passed by simply because we don’t know much about them—and fear we can’t pronounce the grape names to ask about them.  So being risk averse to what the bottle may hold—we move onto our comfort zone and take home another Italian red or French white. \nBEFORE you err and pass by this event though\, you may want to review some key points about Greek winemaking.  First\, the wines of Greece are truly European. This is not just an issue of provenance but a matter relating to style and quality. They are a part of the premier European wine league and in terms of quality they belong to the same class as Italian\, Spanish\, French\, Portuguese\, German and Austrian wines. \nGreece should be approached in the same way as Italy: a large country packed with indigenous varieties and terroirs not found anywhere else. The Greeks and Italians have influenced each other when it comes to wine more than many might think\, trading varieties (such as Aglianico) and techniques for centuries. \nMost importantly\, Greece is a treasure trove of genuine\, authentic wine. It’s a part of the country’s history and is imbedded in the soul of every Greek man\, woman and child. Just like Italy. \nGreek wines are expressive of their distinctive and historic terroirs\, bearing all the hallmark characteristics of their Old-World provenance. Hence\, the wines are a must-try for all people wishing to explore and taste the wines of the essential vineyards\, the grand terroirs of the world.  \nHistoric vineyards with unbroken track records of several millennia abound.  Many of these distinctive ecosystems developed through natural selection and are located in areas protected from most vine pests and vine diseases. Therefore\, the vast majority of Greek vineyards are suitable for organic cultivation or other alternative methods of viticulture and chemical spraying has been largely eliminated. \nGreece is blessed with an amazing array of distinctive and unique terroirs. Greek wine is very distinct and is able to transfer you to the place of its production. The alternation of mountains and countless miles of coast create a varied combination of altitudes\, different mesoclimates\, orientations\, inclinations\, aspects and soils. Within a single region there might be several different available terroirs. \nGreek wines are some of the best value-for-money buys in the world market today. Along with great quality and affordability\, these wines are an inspirational\, truly different proposal\, based on unique attributes.  They are a superb source of enjoyment for people who are offended by blandness and who understand the need for diversity. Greek wine has been made to meet that need since long\, long ago. \nSo\, check it out—join us on Friday\, September 29th at 7 p.m. at the Hilton Harrisburg to taste ten wines representative of the variety available from these unique Greek wine regions.  Mitigating our fear of tasting new wines and being unable to say the grape names will be our special guest speaker\, Ioannis G. Tsapos (Yanni).  Yanni\, who is a Greek native\, will take us through a 10-wine sampling chosen by John Brinjac of Keystone Importers\, including some unique wines not on the shelves but available by SLO.  We’re excited to share them with you: \n \n\nZoinos Brut 100% Debina\nTetramythos Roditis Orange Natur\nTetramythos Retsina Roditis\nAvantis Estate Malagousia\nKotrosos Agiorgitiko\nGavalas Santorini Assyrtiko\nBosinakis Moschofilero Mantinia\nTetramythos Phelloe Natur 50% Mavrodaphne\, 25% Kalavratino and 25% Agiorgitiko\nFoundi Naoussia Xinomavro\nGavalas Vinsanto (Assyrtiko)\n\nTrust us—the wines are as beautiful as the Greek countryside.   There will be Greek food to pair with the wines for a true cultural learning experience.  Hilton Chef’s small plates will include Grilled Pita\, Grilled Feta\, Hummus\, Spanakopita\, Chicken Souvlaki\, Lamb Lollipops w/Chimichurri or Mint Yogurt. \n Please inform us of any food allergies well in advance in the notes section of your reservations or email the treasurer with concerns. \nReservation deadline is Tuesday\, September 26th. \n      Member —$95 \n      Patron —$90 \n      Nonmember —$115 \nYou may MAKE RESERVATIONS via the SHOPPE PAGE of this website. \nPlease note any food allergies EARLY in the notes section of your reservations or email the treasurers with concerns. \n  \n

SUMMARY:A Tour of Spanish Wines
DESCRIPTION:A country rich in viticultural history\, grape vines have been grown on the Spanish Iberian Peninsula since at least 3000 B.C.  It was not until 1000 B.C. that winemaking began in earnest – a skill brought by Phoenician traders from the eastern Mediterranean. Today\, the country is home to more vines than any other country and has a national wine output only exceeded by France and Italy. \nHistorically\, winemaking culture throughout Spain was very rustic. Oxidized styles are common as well as the heavy use of American oak for lengthy periods of barrel ageing.  However\, in the past few decades\, Spain’s wine industry has engaged in a great deal of modernization and an embrace of New World techniques. The result has been a significant improvement in quality and reliability. \nTopography plays a fundamental role in defining Spain’s many wine styles. From cool\, green Galicia and the snow-capped Pyrenees in the north\, via the parched central plateau\, to sandy\, sunny Andalucia in the south\, the Spanish landscape is very diverse.  The cool vineyards of the far north and northwest create light\, crisp\, white wines\, exemplified by Rías Baixas and particularly Txakoli.  Those in warmer\, drier regions further inland tend towards mid-bodied\, fruit-driven reds such as Rioja\, Ribera del Duero and Bierzo. Those close to the Mediterranean can produce heavier\, more powerful reds except in higher altitudes\, where reduced heat and humidity allow the production of lighter reds and\, of course\, white sparkling Cava. \nOur tour guide for this event is Federico-Martin Pisani.  Federico\, a Belgium native\, studied international trade as an undergrad.  He also holds a Masters Degree in International Business from UCLM\, Albacete\, Spain.  With this background and an interest in wine\, he’s enjoyed two decades in the industry as Export Manager\, Horticoalba\, Albacete; Export Director at Morgante SL – Bodegas Cristo de la Vega\, Albacete/Socuéllamos/La Mancha; and now the Export Director at Neleman Organic Vineyards\, Valencia. \nOur event Friday\, November 10th at 7 p.m. at the Hilton Harrisburg features ten wines\, five from Federico’s organic portfolio and five from Keystone Importer’s portfolio in order to examine wines from Spain’s major regions and best-known grapes. \nSpanish wines demand Tapas—yes?   So\, accompanying our wines is Manchego\, Prosciutto Grapes\, Spiced Almond Chorizo\, Olives\, Heirloom Tomato Puff Pastry and Beef Empañadas with Chile Sauce. This sounds like a great menu! \nPlease inform us of any food allergies well in advance in the notes section of your reservations or email the treasurer with concerns. \nReservation deadline is Tuesday\, November 7th . \n      Member —$80 \n      Patron —$75 \n      Nonmember —$100 \nYou may MAKE RESERVATIONS via the SHOPPE PAGE of this website. \nPlease note any food allergies EARLY in the notes section of your reservations or email the treasurers with concerns. \n
