Skim Milk, Whole Milk, Heavy Cream! By Mike Lozan Can you guess from the title what this blog is about? If you answered wine, congratulations, you probably were one of the 85 or so attendees at the “One Hour Wine Expert” featuring Kevin Zraly, hosted here on Friday, January 31. What a fantastic event here at Sea Pines Country Club, put on in conjunction with the Hilton Head Island Chamber of Commerce Chef-to-Chef Weekend. Making it even better was the fact that we raised some money to help the people of the Bahamas with Hurricane Dorian relief. Kevinjust a few….was the star of the show, and his qualifications are too many to list, but here are He ran the Windows On The World wine program from its inception in 1976 and was the only employee from Windows On The World from day one until closing on September 11, 2001. Founder of Windows On The World Wine School, with over 20,000 students graduated! Author of Windows On The World Complete Wine Course, with over 4 million copies sold! One of two people in the wine industry with a James Beard Lifetime Achievement Award. The other is a little-known wine producer by the name of Robert Mondavi. Members were treated to a delightful, funny, educational lecture about the 6 major wine grape varieties…Riesling, Sauvignon Blanc, Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, Merlot and Cabernet! This however, was not your usual wine tasting, and Kevin really drilled down on the facts and had many funny stories, and even got many of those in attendance in on the act (especially those who tried to taste the wine before it was time, or that kept insisting that California was a state!) Don’t forget to remember that secret formula of half red wine, half white wine and a teaspoon of sugar for the next time one of your in- laws asks you for White Zinfandel! After the conclusion of his presentation, Kevin stayed for almost 2 hours signing copies of his books, even though he had another commitment that evening, giving everyone that personal touch as they shared their wine stories with him. I venture to say that after the event, the majority of the attendees found their way into the dining room for the usual Friday night happy hour shenanigans, and as I walked through the room, I could feel that energy or buzz that happens when you know you just witnessed something special. Many of you that I spoke with that evening seemed to agree. A big thank you to everyone who attended, and we really hope to create more moments like that here at the club. Next time here, remember to order your favorite glass of skim milk, whole milk or heavy cream! Cheers, Mike .

France Few Regions Can Claim the Fame and Admiration That Burgundy BURGUNDY Has Enjoyed Since the Second Century
France Few regions can claim the fame and admiration that Burgundy BURGUNDY has enjoyed since the second century. Comprised of the Chablis, Côte d’Or, Côte Chalonnaise, Mâconnais and Beaujolais regions, Burgundy occupies a long and narrow stretch of vineyards in eastern France. The critical effect of terroir in Burgundy is expressed in its complex classification system. • Vineyards are divided into separate appellations along terroir France boundaries; the full range of classification levels from broadest to the most distinguished follows: District (e.g. Beaujolais or Chablis), Village (e.g. Pommard), Premier Cru (e.g. Pommard les Rugiens) and Grands Cru (e.g. Clos Vougeot). • As a result of Burgundy’s rules of inheritance, vineyard ownership is quite fragmented, with multiple owners for most crus. The Clos de Vougeot vineyard, for example, is split between 80 different owners. • Though soils vary, clay and limestone predominate in the Côte d’Or and granite is common in Beaujolais.

The Pennsylvania State University
The Pennsylvania State University The Graduate School Department of Food Science DETECTION AND REJECTION THRESHOLDS FOR VITIS LABRUSCA ASSOCIATED ODORANTS ARE DEPENDENT ON MATRIX AND REGIONAL EFFECTS A Thesis in Food Science by Demetra M. Perry © 2016 Demetra M. Perry Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Science May 2016 ii The thesis of Demetra M. Perry was reviewed and approved* by the following: John E. Hayes Associate Professor of Food Science Thesis Advisor Ryan J. Elias Associate Professor of Food Science Michela Centinari Assistant Professor of Viticulture Robert F. Roberts Professor of Food Science Head of the Department of Food Science *Signatures are on file in the Graduate School iii ABSTRACT Pennsylvania is among the top 10 wine producing states in the nation, producing more than three-quarters of a million cases of wine each year (Wines and Vines, January 2016). In 2011, the state’s wine and grape industry had a net worth of nearly 2 billion dollars, with wineries generating over 40 million dollars of revenue for the state (Frank, Rimerman + Co, LLP 2013). Though some Pennsylvania wineries have benefited from wine’s increasing popularity, many still struggle to have their wines nationally recognized, due in part to Pennsylvania’s reliance on wines made from grapes of Vitis labrusca varieties. These grapes contain many odorants, with two of the most identifiable and highly researched compounds being methyl anthranilate (MA) and 2-aminoacetophenone (2AAP), which are described as having ‘grapy’ and ‘foxy’ notes (Apstein 1984). These compounds, while desirable in the context of grape jelly, often receive bad press in the wine world, particularly when reviewed by wine “experts”.
