Wine Wednesday ~ Wines from Indigenous Grapes
February 9, 2022 @ 7:00 pm - 8:00 pm
Free
Our next Wine Wednesday episode on February 9th at 7:00 pm Eastern/New York time is “Wines from Indigenous Grapes.” This topic almost screams “Italy!” The Italian peninsula is home to nearly 25% of the world’s 1,200+ recognized wine grape varieties. But, many other wine regions and countries can also claim a number of wine grapes as indigenous to their wine growing regions. Determining a grape variety’s place of origin has become far easier in light of the modern-day work of geneticists in the field of ampelography, which is the science concerned with the identification and classification of grapevines. So, do your research, because a Tanat from Uruguay is not an example of an indigenous grape. Neither is Cabernet Sauvignon from Napa Valley an example of an indigenous grape. Nor is Sauvignon Blanc indigenous to New Zealand. This is an exercise in finding the roots of the varietal that you are drinking!
Please join us this week for Wine Wednesday on February 9th at 7:00 pm Eastern/New York time when we explore the genealogy, so to speak, of your favorite varietal! And, as we do every week, send photos of the front and back of your wine bottle labels to WineCat@pa.net by 11 pm Tuesday for inclusion in this week’s PowerPoint slide show, which is when you will have your 3 minutes of fame as you feature your chosen indigenous varietal! We look forward to seeing you then!
No reservation needed – simply join us via the Zoom link below close to 7pm Wednesday evening.
