SUMMARY:Wine Wednesday ~ Wines made from Hybrid Grapes
DESCRIPTION:Wines Made from Hybrid Grapes       by Marty Cook \nWe are all familiar with the short list of so called “Noble Grapes” that includes such favorite European or Vitis vinifera grape varieties as Cabernet Sauvignon\, Merlot\, Chardonnay\, and Riesling.  But\, what about grape varieties with names such as Seyval Blanc\, Chambourcin\, Norton\, Traminette\, Vidal Blanc\, and Vignoles?  This latter group is comprised of Hybrid grape varieties.  But\, what is a “Hybrid”? \nAccording to Wikipedia\, “Hybrid grapes are grape varieties that are the product of a crossing of two or more Vitis species.  This is in contrast to crossings between grape varieties of the same species.”  So\, a Hybrid is the crossing of two species of grapes\, such as Vitis vinifera and\, say\, Vitis labrusca or Vitis aestivalis.  A quick check on Google renders any number of possibilities for Hybrid wine grape varieties.  A good source of such wines (if not your wine cellar) would be virtually any winery east of the Rockies.  Curious for more on hybrid grape varieties?  Check out these articles from Wine Folly and Wine Enthusiast. \nSo\, do your best to locate a representative bottle of wine made from a Hybrid variety or from a blend of Hybrid varieties and join us for Wine Wednesday on April 14th at 7:00 p.m. Eastern Time on the Zoom link shown below! \nAnd\, as always\, please send a photo of the front and back labels from the bottle you choose to feature and send those photos to WineCat@pa.net for inclusion in our Power Point Presentation for next Wednesday evening.  We look forward to seeing you! \nhttps://zoom.us/j/93200869048?pwd=Q05jbnpVdlpSY3VzZmo3K2ZMd3ljdz09 \nMeeting ID: 932 0086 9048\nPasscode: 081795 \nOne tap mobile\n+16465588656\,\,93200869048#\,\,\,\,*081795# US (New York)\n+13017158592\,\,93200869048#\,\,\,\,*081795# 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: 932 0086 9048\nPasscode: 081795\nFind your local number: https://zoom.us/u/abswGQ24p7

SUMMARY:Rosé All Day! with Kevin Ostrowski
DESCRIPTION:Rosé All Day!    by Marty Cook \n Spring and summer scream\, “It is time for a pink party!”  That would be “pink” in the form of Rosé wine.  The popularity of Rosé wine has exploded over the past decade in something of a resurgence.  True Rosé wine used to be readily available in our Fine Wine & Good Spirits stores until the advent of “blush” wines from the West Coast in the very late 1970’s and throughout the 1980’s.  “Blush” is generally sweet or semi-sweet bulk wine produced such that it looks like Rosé wine; but\, its likeness to Rosé stops with color and bears no resemblance in taste to true Rosé. \nTrue Rosé is generally dry to medium-dry\, is loved by both red and white wine drinkers\, and seems to pair with just about every possible food.  And\, what’s not to like?  Rosé wine is delicious!  The rediscovery of true Rosé wine by American wine consumers began during their travels abroad and\, upon returning Stateside\, the absence of good Rosé on our retail shelves created an instant demand.  There was actually a period during which this new demand applied pressure on the supply chain until producers could satisfy that need; but\, in the current day\, we are awash in an abundance of wonderful Rosé wines! \nJoin us on Sunday\, April 18\, 2021 at 3:30 p.m. Eastern Time as Kevin Ostrowski leads us through an hour long presentation about everything Rosé!  During his presentation\, Kevin will explore some of the more prominent Rosé wine growing regions as we taste their delicious wines.  In addition to its origins\, history\, and geography of where and how Rosé wine is made\, he will also highlight the wide varieties of grapes and the different winemaking methods used to produce this immensely popular genre of wine. \nThis event is free to join.  Simply secure one or more bottles of Rosé wine in advance of “Rosé All Day!”\, chill accordingly\, ready your food stuffs to go with\, and click on the Zoom link below on Sunday\, April 18\, 2021 at 3:30 p.m. Eastern Time!  We look forward seeing you! \nhttps://zoom.us/j/91504548895?pwd=V1N4VG1NN1RLU28yYlVhWWxUaTBzUT09 \nMeeting ID: 915 0454 8895 \nPasscode: 337031 \nOne tap mobile \n+16465588656\,\,91504548895#\,\,\,\,*337031# US (New York) \n+13017158592\,\,91504548895#\,\,\,\,*337031# 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: 915 0454 8895 \nPasscode: 337031 \nFind your local number: https://zoom.us/u/ac10njuyGT \n

SUMMARY:Wine Wednesday ~ European Wines Outside France and Italy
DESCRIPTION:by Marty Cook \nSimilar to the way in which many of us consistently seem to buy wines made from the same 15 – 18 grapes\, it seems that many of us also tend to choose our European wines primarily from France and Italy.  The interesting thing is that the vast majority of European countries make wine\, and a number of those countries have centuries old winemaking traditions! \nOur challenge for this coming Wine Wednesday\, April 21st at 7:00 p.m. is to choose a wine from Europe\, anywhere other than France or Italy.  The obvious fallback choices are Spain\, Portugal\, and Germany; but\, what about Hungary\, Romania\, Slovenia\, Switzerland\, Austria and Greece?  Or\, maybe you can find wines from some really obscure or out-of-the-way countries\, such as Israel or the Caucuses or beyond? \nSo\, your mission\, should you choose to accept it\, is to research the possibilities and find a wine you can feature this coming Wednesday that has its origins in a European country other than France or Italy!  And\, by the way\, Corsica\, Sardinia\, and Sicily are off limits too\, as they are technically owned by either France or Italy! \nAs usual\, please remember to photograph the front and back labels of your bottle and e-Mail them to WineCat@pa.net no later than Wednesday noon\, so that they can be included in our PowerPoint slides for that evening’s get-together! \nWe look forward to seeing you on Wednesday\, April 21st at 7:00 pm on the Zoom link below! \n  \nhttps://zoom.us/j/98434315367?pwd=RFNSLzdieXR4aVlpUm9sdXBadkFHUT09 \nMeeting ID: 984 3431 5367 \nPasscode: 123865 \nOne tap mobile \n+13126266799\,\,98434315367#\,\,\,\,*123865# US (Chicago) \n+16465588656\,\,98434315367#\,\,\,\,*123865# 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: 984 3431 5367 \nPasscode: 123865 \nFind your local number: https://zoom.us/u/acEi13c9SA \n

SUMMARY:Wine Wednesday ~ Wines of South America
DESCRIPTION:Wines of South America   by Marty Cook \nWe continue on our Odyssey in pursuit of the world’s best or most interesting or least known wines.  Our next installment will be “Wines of South America” and will take place on Wednesday\, April 28th at 7:00 p.m. Eastern/New York time.  So\, find the South American wine of your choosing and join us at the appointed time! You have several wine-producing countries from which to select a wine.  Will it be a Tannat from Uruguay?  How about a Bonarda from Argentina?  Or\, there is always Carmenere from Chile!  Of course\, a wine from Brazil would qualify; but\, even the Brazilians I know tell me that Brazil makes terrible wines.  Hey? Who am I to say?  Just repeating what I have been told! \nAnyway\, grab a bottle of wine from South America and meet with us on the Zoom link below at the appointed time this coming Wednesday\, April 28th at 7:00 pm Eastern/New York time.  And\, as a reminder\, please photograph the front and back label of the bottle you choose and e-mail it to WineCat@pa.net so that we can include it ahead of time in next Wednesday’s PowerPoint slide presentation. \nWe hope to see you on hand to feature your wine with the rest of the crew!  We have a great time and would like to include you in our fun! \nhttps://zoom.us/j/98871872532?pwd=dlhQRzQ3bEZGQmZjNzU5VkZUNld0UT09  \n Meeting ID: 988 7187 2532\nPasscode: 643389\nOne tap mobile\n+13017158592\,\,98871872532#\,\,\,\,*643389# US (Washington DC)\n+13126266799\,\,98871872532#\,\,\,\,*643389# 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: 988 7187 2532\nPasscode: 643389\nFind your local number: https://zoom.us/u/aZaXGDtTl
