Proemio Wines Of Argentina
Join our friend Wendy as she talks and tastes the wines of Proemio from Mendoza Argentina. Compare Malbecs and Cabernet Sauvignon and be amazed!
About Proemio
PROEMIO in old Spanish means Prologue; this is our first page, the kick start of our history. The winery (built in 1930) was adapted to create Premium Quality wines maintaining the original and traditional arquitecture of Old Mendozan wineries.
Proemio Wines are unique due to the personality imposed on them. They assure an important grape concentration with selective extraction of aromas, tannins and poly-phenols. All these processes aim at giving excellent volume, body and structure. Outstanding vineyards, passionate people, experience and friendship come together in the creation of their wines. Finally, aging is carried out in the finest French oak accompanied by a long bottling period.

An Italian Night And Claudio
Claudio Andreani (US Brand Ambassador) of Tenute Ambrogio e Giovanni Folonari of Tuscany, a great portfolio that includes Nozzole in Chianti Classico, La Fuga in Montalcino, TorCalvano in Montepulciano as well as Campo al Mare in Bolgheri.
“The Folonari family has been making wine since the late eighteenth century. In 1825 the family-owned business took the name “Fratelli Folonari” and adopted the mission of developing, producing and distributing the finest Italian wines throughout the world. In 1912, Italo Folonari – Ambrogio Folonari’s grandfather – and his brother Francesco purchased the Ruffino company in Tuscany that was famous for its Chianti wine in straw-covered flasks. After World War II, major changes in terms of economic development and improving standards of living began taking place in Italy. This also affected the wine industry where the Folonari family and Ambrogio in particular were among the first to promote this trend by producing new, high quality wines that contributed to creating the “new frontier” of the Italian wine. Ambrogio and his father Giovanni own some of the top Tuscan estates in Tuscany’s main appellations such as Nozzole in Chianti Classico, La Fuga in Montalcino, TorCalvano in Montepulciano, Cabreo in Panzano as well as Campo al Mare in Bolgheri.”

Traditions matter to young wine buyers
Now more than ever, it’s how you are selling wine to your tables in a restaurant rather than rattling off a series of tasting notes and leaving it at that. As our knowledge increases about where our food comes from and how it’s grown, I see many millennials looking at their wine the same way. Tradition and heritage do matter.

Why Do People Buy Second Label Wines?
Let’s start with the essential characteristics that sommeliers look for in a wine: the nose, taste and the finish. The three areas to look for in wealth management are brand, services and value.

An Italian Night With Ciro And Claudio
Our Friend Ciro Will Bring Claudio For An Italian Event.
Claudio Andreani (US Brand Ambassador) of Tenute Ambrogio e Giovanni Folonari of Tuscany, a great portfolio that includes Nozzole in Chianti Classico, La Fuga in Montalcino, TorCalvano in Montepulciano as well as Campo al Mare in Bolgheri.
“The Folonari family has been making wine since the late eighteenth century. In 1825 the family-owned business took the name “Fratelli Folonari” and adopted the mission of developing, producing and distributing the finest Italian wines throughout the world. In 1912, Italo Folonari – Ambrogio Folonari’s grandfather – and his brother Francesco purchased the Ruffino company in Tuscany that was famous for its Chianti wine in straw-covered flasks. After World War II, major changes in terms of economic development and improving standards of living began taking place in Italy. This also affected the wine industry where the Folonari family and Ambrogio in particular were among the first to promote this trend by producing new, high quality wines that contributed to creating the “new frontier” of the Italian wine. Ambrogio and his father Giovanni own some of the top Tuscan estates in Tuscany’s main appellations such as Nozzole in Chianti Classico, La Fuga in Montalcino, TorCalvano in Montepulciano, Cabreo in Panzano as well as Campo al Mare in Bolgheri.”

Is Wine Made in NY With Napa Grapes a “Napa Wine”?
If a winery in New York purchases grapes from a Napa Valley vineyard, has the Napa Valley grapes refrigerated and shipped to its winery in New York, then crushes, presses and ferments those Napa Valley grapes into a wine, then bottles that wine, can we reliably say that the wine is a “Napa Valley Wine”?

How Much Alcohol Is in Your Drink? Stronger Beers and Wines Make It Harder to Tell
How much does a wine’s rating really matter?

Why Clones Matter – And Do They Trump Terroir?
It’s inevitable. When you start thinking about how a clone influences the style of a wine, it becomes a chicken or the egg kind of thing (is it the clone or the terroir that comes first, or which is more important)
In its most simple definition, a clone is a cutting from a grapevine that’s then propagated and cultivated. So each variety— Pinot Noir, Cabernet Sauvignon, Chardonnay, etc. can have innumerable clones from all over the world.

A Significant Amount Of Wine Is Shipped Around The World In?
Many imported wines are not bottled where they are produced, but are instead pumped into giant bladders that resemble a huge version of the CamelBak hydration system worn by cyclists and distance runners

The MUNCHIES Guide to Buying Supermarket Wine
Because the wine you’re about to buy probably doesn’t come from a small estate. To be distributed in large retailers, there are supply minimums to meet. This doesn’t mean the wines will be bad—far from it—but if you want the image of the little winemaker managing a ten-acre vineyard, you’re in the wrong place. You’ll have to go to the wine shop for that.

Knowledge Bombing on Pét-Nats
Pétillant-naturel means, “naturally sparkling,” and everyone who refers to wines made in this style as simply “pét-nats,” can thank Loire Valley winemaker Christian Chaussard (he looks like everyone’s favorite uncle), who coined the term back in the late 1990s.

Winery workers fill cow horns with manure before their annual burial that is part of the biodynamic vineyard preparation at Ehler’s Estate Thursday, Dec. 13, 2012 in St. Helena, Calif.

How to Always Pour the Perfect White Wine?
This infographic organizes over 60 types of wine by taste, origin and style.
http://socialvignerons.com/2016/05/31/how-to-always-pour-the-perfect-white-wine/#prettyPhoto
Belgian Brewers Release Dozens of Beer Emoji
Here are 60 alternatives to the standard beer-glass emoji.
http://fortune.com/2016/06/03/belgian-beer-emoji/
Some whiskey and beer pairing suggestions
Scotch:
When thinking about matching beer with Scotch one would consider focusing in on the more common smokey, peaty flavor notes.
Beer styles such as Rauchbiers, which are smokey, Scotch ales which have a peaty, roasty character, and Kolsch-style beers which are relatively balanced and mildly floral, could be good pairing selections.
Brands we would suggest for pairing with Scotch would be Uinta Tinder Rauchbier, Rahr Brewing Iron Thistle, and Ballast Point Yellowtail Pale Ale.
Bourbon:
When thinking about matching beer with Bourbon one should consider focusing in on the more common vanilla and sweet caramel flavor notes.
Beer styles such as Pilsners, which are grainy, sweet, with a hop bite in the finish, Bourbon Barrel-aged Stouts that can be dry, woody, with bourbon notes, or Chocolate Vanilla Porters, with flavors of sweet chocolate and vanilla, might be fine pairing selections.
Brands we would suggest for pairing with Bourbon would be Samuel Adams Noble Pils, New Holland Dragon’s Milk, and Breckenridge Vanilla Porter.
Rye:
When thinking about matching beer with Rye one would consider focusing in on the more common malty, spicy flavor notes.
Beer styles such as Rye Pale ales, which are malty, spicy with less hop bite, and IPAs, which can be earthy, floral and less hop forward can work as beer pairing with Rye.
Brands we would suggest for pairing with Rye would be Terrapin Rye Pale Ale, and Dogfish Head 60 Minute IPA.
Moonshine:
When thinking about matching beer with Moonshine, consider focusing in on the more common malty, candy corn flavor notes.
Beer styles such as Belgian-style blondes, which are sweet, with notes of Belgian candi sugar and fruity Belgian yeast, witbiers, with flavors of sweet malt, coriander and clove, or the very balanced lager, sweet and grainy, as good pairing ideas.
Brands we would suggest for pairing with Moonshine would be St. Stefanus Blonde, Avery Brewing White Rascal, Shorts The Local’s Lager.

Rhubarb Wine: A Tradition Reborn in the Vosges Region of France
As far as French Law is concerned, rhubarb wine doesn’t qualify as an actual wine, since it isn’t made with grapes, but the popular name remains valid, because it is made—and tasted, and paired—largely like a regular wine.

Say What About Wine Scores
I think it’s ok to use a score as a guide to sort through the confusion; just keep in mind that the score was assigned by someone who is not “you” and was most likely not assessed in the “situation” in which you are planning to enjoy your wine.

Kentucky: First At American Commercial Wine
California is the largest wine-producing state in the U.S. by far (<1800 wineries), followed by New York (>400), Washington (<300) and Oregon (>100). But none of the four states was first at American commercial wine–not even second. That ranking belongs to Kentucky and Ohio, respectively.

More Details
The French Wine Scholar program is coming to southern Massachusetts! After many years of this internationally recognized certification program being offered in Boston it is now available to wine professionals and French wine enthusiasts who can’t always make the trip into the city. Mark Lenzi, CSW/CSS/FWS/IWS, owner of Franklin Liquors and founder of the Franklin Wine Club, and I are extremely excited to be able to offer this program to you and your staff who are looking for world-class wine education outside of Boston.
Why become a French Wine Scholar?
Set yourself apart from your peers. Gain the confidence to taste, sell, and speak meaningfully about all aspects of French wine, from Champagne to Bordeaux and everything in between.
Developed and administrated by the Wine Scholar Guild with the support of the French Ministry of Agriculture, this specialization program provides current, accurate and in-depth information on the wines and wine regions of France. It is designed for advanced students of wine, whether professionals or serious wine hobbyists. This is NOT an introductory wine class; students should have professional wine experience or previous classroom study.
Students who follow this in-depth curriculum and pass the 100-question multiple choice exam will earn the French Wine Scholar title and FWS post-nominal. Those individuals who achieve a score of 75 or higher will pass; candidates scoring 85-90 pass with Honors, and candidates scoring 91-100 pass with Highest Honors.
If you are a member of the beverage or hospitality trades, and you deal with wine on a daily basis, this course is for you! Restaurant beverage managers, sommeliers, wholesalers, and retailers will all benefit from the wealth of knowledge provided. You’ll immediately be able to apply what you’re learning to your daily work as you interact more fully with your suppliers and customers, clients and guests on the subject of French wine. The French Wine Scholar Program covers French wine law, grape varieties, viticulture, winemaking and all of the French wine regions. This core body of knowledge is important whether you sell wine, buy wine or teach about wine.
The FWS program allows wine professionals to set themselves apart from their peers by specializing in the wines of France. In addition, it is a great supplement for students of other advanced general wine study programs such as WSET Diploma, Master of Wine program, Court of Master Sommeliers’ Advanced Sommelier (and up) or CSW/CWE. While not a pre-requisite, we recommend that students successfully complete at least the lower level course from one of these organizations before entering the FWS program.
Our next session starts September 6 and will run on nine consecutive Tuesday evenings.
Dates: September 6-November 1; Review November 15; Exam date: November 29, 2016
Time: 6:00 PM – 8:30 PM
Location: Franklin Liquors, 363 E. Central Street, Franklin MA
Instructed by: Kim M. Simone, CSW, FWS
Tuition: $999
Seating is limited, and you must be 21+ to participate

DFV Ups Monterey Presence With Santa Lucia Highlands Vineyard Buy
Delicato Family Vineyards (DFV) has acquired River Road Vineyard in the Santa Lucia Highlands from the McFarland family. The purchase, which was made for an undisclosed sum, includes 243 acres planted to Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Riesling. DFV said it will begin incorporating fruit from River Road in future luxury programs, and also pursue replanting, with focus on Pinot Noir.
River Road was originally planted in 1972 by the late Jerry McFarland, whose family will continue to source fruit from River Road for the McFarland brand. For DFV, the acquisition complements the company’s existing Monterey vineyard holdings, which include the San Bernabe Vineyard in the sub-appellation of the same name.

America Without Tiers: Changing Wine Distribution
Despite a great diversity in the US wine market, dozens of wine producers – of all sizes – have continued to complain about what they perceive to be limited market access, which they blame on the distribution tier.

Liquor license caps called a “vestige of Puritan New England”
In general, state statute limits the number of liquor and wine and beer licenses for each city and town based on its population. The Legislature routinely makes exceptions to that law, granting additional licenses to municipalities on an individual basis through a local petition.
“It appears that with growing frequency the exceptions are overtaking the rule,” Senate Minority Leader Bruce Tarr of Gloucester told his colleagues on the floor. He said, “It seems that there is rarely a week that passes that we do not either in formal or informal session grant a municipality an additional liquor license, and usually Mr. President it is more than one.”

Yoga And Wine
June 8th 7Pm
Join Betsy Barry of Franklin Yoga & Wellness and Mark Lenzi of Franklin Liquors for a sensory exploration of wine through the energy systems of the body.
This unique workshop combines a 6o-minute yoga class with a carefully sequenced wine pairing designed to open and balance the major energy centers, known as “chakras.” With a heightened sense of awareness, we will explore each chakra through physical observation of each shared wine, discovering taste, flavor and feel in a new way.
No prior knowledge of yoga or wine is required. Plan to bring an open mind and leave feeling balanced and satisfied with a new appreciation of both wine and self.
7 Chakras And 7 Wines
Class Limit 18
$40 Per Person
