Eric Hemer, the Company’s Senior VP and Director of Wine Education, outlines the many different sparkling wine options to help consumers choose the best bottle of bubbly for their tastes and wallets. “While the overall wine category continues to grow, sparkling wine is showing some of the strongest growth rates,” says Eric Hemer. “Not surprisingly, sparkling sales are strongest in the fourth quarter driven by holiday celebrations and gift-giving. Whether consumers are looking to host a holiday party at home, celebrate at their favorite restaurant or bar, or purchase a gift that is sure to please, sparkling wine is a festive beverage choice that will easily enhance any occasion, at every budget.” Champagne-France As the saying goes, “Not all sparkling wine is Champagne, but all Champagne is sparkling wine.” The most complex, expressive, compelling, historic and typically costliest example of sparkling wine comes from the cool climate and chalky soils of the Champagne region of northern France.

  • Addendum Regarding: the 2021 Certified Specialist of Wine Study Guide, As Published by the Society of Wine Educators
    Addendum regarding: The 2021 Certified Specialist of Wine Study Guide, as published by the Society of Wine Educators This document outlines the substantive changes to the 2021 Study Guide as compared to the 2020 version of the CSW Study Guide. All page numbers reference the 2020 version. Note: Many of our regional wine maps have been updated. The new maps are available on SWE’s blog, Wine, Wit, and Wisdom, at the following address: http://winewitandwisdomswe.com/wine-spirits- maps/swe-wine-maps-2021/ Page 15: The third paragraph under the heading “TCA” has been updated to read as follows: TCA is highly persistent. If it saturates any part of a winery’s environment (barrels, cardboard boxes, or even the winery’s walls), it can even be transferred into wines that are sealed with screw caps or artificial corks. Thankfully, recent technological breakthroughs have shown promise, and some cork producers are predicting the eradication of cork taint in the next few years. In the meantime, while most industry experts agree that the incidence of cork taint has fallen in recent years, an exact figure has not been agreed upon. Current reports of cork taint vary widely, from a low of 1% to a high of 8% of the bottles produced each year. Page 16: the entry for Geranium fault was updated to read as follows: Geranium fault: An odor resembling crushed geranium leaves (which can be overwhelming); normally caused by the metabolism of sorbic acid (derived from potassium sorbate, a preservative) via lactic acid bacteria (as used for malolactic fermentation) Page 22: the entry under the heading “clone” was updated to read as follows: In commercial viticulture, virtually all grape varieties are reproduced via vegetative propagation.

Drink now (WS). Pairs well with oysters, seafood, spaghetti alle vongole and chicken. Estate Grown. Sustainably Farmed. Vegan. #2 Jules Taylor, Sauvignon Blanc, 2019 Rating – RP 91, WW 91 Marlborough, New Zealand 13.5% Blending fruit from several subregions has given the 2019 Sauvignon Blanc a lovely balance of herbal and fruity characters, with notes ranging from jalapeño and grassiness to stone fruit, passion fruit and citrus. It's medium to full-bodied, with excellent concentration and some real length, a rare treat to find in a classic Marlborough bottling these days (RP). Pair with fish, oysters, risotto. #3 Invivo X by Sarah Jessica Parker, Sauvignon Blanc, 2019 Rating – WW 90, WS 90 Marlborough, New Zealand 13% This wine is fresh, smooth, and layered on the palate.

Carpenè’s groundbreaking La Vite e il Vino nella Wine maker and enologist work, Provincia di Treviso (1874), lists Antonio Carpenè (1838- a staggering number of 1902) played a significant different (mostly indigenous) role in the creation and grape varieties being cultivated operation of the school. in the Province of Treviso as well as many different viticultural systems and trellising methods (including training vines up into trees). Over in Piedmont, in 1895 Federico Martinotti, director of the Experimental Station of Enology in Asti (founded in January, 1872 by Royal Decree of Victor Emanuele Il, King of Italy) developed and patented the technique of conducting the second fermentation in large pressurized temperature- controlled receptacles. The technology was immediately and developed by the Conegliano school. [In 1910, Eugène Charmat adopted an existing device called the autoclave (which was invented in 1879 by a colleague of Louis Pasteur named Charles Chamberland) for the production of sparkling wine. The name stuck...] • By around 1910 the autoclave technology was was perfected for use in the production of sparkling wines in the Conegliano Valdobbiadene area. At about the same time, phylloxera broke out, followed shortly thereafter by WW I and economic depression. • It was not until the economic resurgence of Italy following WW II in the mid-1950s and ‘60s that the autoclave became diffused throughout the area of Conegliano Valdobbiadene and the modern day wine industry was born.
