			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.winecentury.com/blog/2011/05/sixth-anniversary-global-tasting-challenge/world-wine-map/" rel="attachment wp-att-512"><img src="http://www.winecentury.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/world-wine-map.gif" alt="Wine Century Club" title="world-wine-map" width="525" height="276" class="alignright size-full wp-image-512" /></a></p>
<p>We’re now 1,023 members strong and growing! Included in this number are 30 Doppel Members,  seven Treble Members and three Quattro Members.    </p>
<p>Our annual celebration and challenge is once again online in recognition of the international nature of the club, but this year is going to be somewhat different.  Last year we collectively tasted 314 different grape varieties, crushing the previous year&#8217;s 157 and a very impressive sum (but still short of the three Quattro Member&#8217;s lifetime grape lists!).</p>
<p>This year, we&#8217;re going to see how many different wine regions we can collectively taste in one day.  In a way it is both easier &#8211; Bulgarian Cabernet and Chilean Merlot will both count – and more difficult as exotic 100 grape Italian wines, Portuguese cepage-monsters other mega blends like Châteauneuf-du-Pape will only count once. </p>
<p>Wherever you may be, please raise a glass of the most obscure wine* you can find on May 26th in honor of the club and the glory that is you.  And if at all possible please post a short note about the wine you had on the Wine Century Club Site.  The note can be as simple as the name of the wine and where it came from. </p>
<p>Hope to see you online on May 26th!</p>
<p>Veni, Vino, Vici!</p>
<p>Steve</p>
<p>*Only grape wines please (meadsters!) and even the smallest of subregions will count. For example, Gevrey-Chambertin will be counted separately from Gevrey-Chambertin premier cru La Perrière and Côtes du Rhône will be counted separately from Côtes du Rhône Villages Cairanne.  And that’s just France.  There are over 300 different wine regions in the US alone! </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>We&#8217;re currently 779 members strong, with 28 doppel members, 5 treble members and one quattro member.  While membership is increasing dramatically, more and more members are continuing their quest to Doppel levels and beyond.</p>
<p>To honor this sense of adventure and crazed obsessiveness, I am announcing a contest and award for the most grape varieties tasted by any one member: <strong><em>Le Grand Prix du Cépage!</em></strong></p>
<p>Entries are due November 12, 2010 5PM EST and the winner will be announced on November 15th.</p>
<p>A big help in the quest for Doppel+ membership is the expanded <a href="http://www.a-muse-in-the-cellar.com/content/wine-century-club-application" target="_blank">application</a> and <a href="http://a-muse-in-the-cellar.com/content/grape-varieties-database" target="_blank">database</a> developed by Dr. Thomas Mercer-Hursh.

<p>Paula Sindberg&#8217;s Weird &#038; Wonderful Tasting was great fun &#8211; Paula usually scores with the goods and this was no exception.  It was also a special treat that Tom Reagan, our current grape champ with 426 varieties, came to the event from Atlanta with a couple of very interesting wines. </p>
<p>There were lots of obscure grapes, but the two that stood out for me were the Jacky Preys 2007 Cuvée de Fié Gris Vielles Vignes &#8220;Terroir Pierre à Fusil&#8221; Touraine (white grape variety: Fié Gris) and the Lorenzo 2005 &#8220;Vigna Paradiso&#8221; Lacrima di Moro d&#8217;Alba (red grape variety: Lacrima).  Not only were they new grapes for me, they were deliciously interesting wines.  The Fié Gris was vaguely reminiscent of Loire Sauvignon Blanc, but with gun flint and nettles.  The Lacrima di Moro was a big red powerful red, very aromatic and herbal &#8211; almost like vermouth/Campari &#8211; very unique and charismatic.  Interestingly enough, several tastings throughout the world had Lacrimas &#8211; I could be the next must try red from Italy, a little like Sagrantino.</p>
<p>Here&#8217;s a list of all of the wines that we tasted: </p>
<p>Le Petite Chambord 200 Cour-Cheverny (white variety: Romorantin)<br />
Ameztoi 2009 Txakolina de Getaria (white variety: Hondarribi Zuri and a little red Hondarribi Beltz even though the wine was white)<br />
Chateau de la Mirande 2008 Picpoul de Pinet (white variety: Picpoul)<br />
Ciu&#8217; Ciu&#8217; 2008 Offica Pecorino &#8220;Le Merlettaie&#8221;  (white variety: Pecorino)<br />
Cantina Valle Isarco 2006 Sudtirol Kerner (white variety: Kerner)<br />
Domaine Jacky Preys 2007 Cuvée de Fié Gris Vielles Vignes &#8220;Terroir Pierre à Fusil&#8221; Touraine (white grape variety: Fié Gris)<br />
Domaine Berthoumieu 2008 Pacherenc du Vic-Bilh Sec Vieilles Vignes (white grape varieties: Gros Manseng, Courbo &#038; Petit Manseng)<br />
Afros 2008 Vinhão Vinho Verde Tinto (red grape variety: Vinhão)<br />
Cos 2008 Frappato (red grape variety: Frappato)<br />

<p>We were about 30 people, all very very much like the concept.  We held the event in a wine bar called tastings (<a href="http://www.tastings.hk">www.tastings.hk</a>) which is a special place in that it prominently features enomatic machines and have 40 labels on offer at anyone time. We charged hkd 250 to each participant and this included a hkd 200 sampler card as well as some snacks.  We had 3 distributors sponsor some wines and some participants were so eager that they also brought some unusual wines to taste.  We plan to hold even every second month and most likely tastings will be the place to meet.  our goal is to be informal and casual and offer anyone a chance to learn and go off the beaten path.  We will emphasise grapes but also wines from unusual regions like China, Thailand, India, and the like.  In the evening, we confirmed the following members:</p>
<p>Nellie Lee (co-founder)<br />
Ron Taylor<br />
Ian Symonds<br />
Agata Meuti<br />
Paolo Fassina</p>
<p>with myself, it means the we are now 6 members in hong kong!</p>

<p><strong>Redwood City, CA (SF Bay Area)</strong></p>
<p>Last night, we toasted the Century Club at Savvy Cellar Wine Shop and Wine Bar in Redwood City, California. We tasted 3 different wines: a Bugianen Freisa d’Asti from Domenico Capello, a Castello di Verduno Pelaverga, and a Blaufrankisch, whose producer escapes me. I thought the Freisa might be tasted by someone else, but I was pretty sure the Pelaverga would not be on your list – amazingly, I guess someone tasted it last night. As of right now, a brief look through the list doesn’t reveal that anyone tried a Blaufrankisch, so maybe that’s our winning contribution!</p>
<p>-Marni Rubin</p>
<p><strong>Hendersonville, NC</strong></p>
<p>The French Broad Chapter in Hendersonville enjoyed the following on The Anniversary.Trebbiano de Lugana, Cabernet Sauvignon, Syrah, Zin. Barbera, Petite Sirah, Alicante Bouchet, Falanghina, Chenin Blanc, Sauv. Blanc, Viognier, Marsanne, Malvasia Bianca, Orange Muscat, Muscat Canelli, Vignoles, Chessalas.</p>
<p>Keith Dalbec</p>
<p><strong>Milton, DE</strong></p>
<p>WE JUST FINISHED OUR TASTING FOR THE FIRST STATE COASTAL CRU IN DELAWARE AND WE CAN ADD THE KLEVENER DE HELIGSTEIN GRAPE FROM ALSACE ONE, WE ALSO HAD A BOTTLE OF GODELLO FROM MONTENOVO AND SOME OF US STARTED OFF THE DAY WITH A BOTTLE OF BACCHUS FROM ENGLAND. WE ALSO SIGNED UP 27 NEW FUTURE MEMBERS. HAVE A GREAT YEAR!</p>
<p>-Bernie Knowllinger</p>
<p><strong>Aiken, SC</strong></p>
<p>The Aiken, SC Wrath of Grapes chapter of the Wine Century Club had an impromptu meeting of four members. The evening started with Ironstone Vineyards SYMPHONY 2005 paired with pimento cheese spread. The next course was bacon-wrapped shrimp, accompained by Perrier Jouet NV Brut (assumed to be PINOT NOIR &#038; CHARDONNAY with other grapes in too small a percentage to take credit for). The meal of pork loin medallions in mushroom sauce was paired with Picchetti TEROLDEGO 2007 and Linne Calodo “Cherry Red” 2007 (ZINFANDEL, MOURVEDRE, SYRAH). Dessert was fresh Aiken county strawberries, lightly marinated in Brachetto D’Acqui, accompanied by (of course) Pineto BRACHETTO D’ACQUI DOCG 2007. Dishwashing was made more pleasant with a half bottle of Quady Elysium 2007 (BLACK MUSCAT).</p>
<p>Cheers and Happy Birthday!</p>
<p><strong>Columbus, OH</strong> </p>
<p>Happy 5th… here are some more varietals… not adding the ones already reported… Bukettraube (South Africa), Roscetto (Italy – even though the bottle turned out to be corked!), Tocai Friulano, Verdicchio, Traminette… but wait a minute… didn’t anyone have Lambrusco &#038; Champagne( Pinot Meunier) to celebrate the Anniversary?</p>

It&#8217;s high time to sit back, take a much needed rest and wallow in the glory that is us.  </p>
<p>Here&#8217;s the summary in alphabetical order.  I&#8217;ve pruned as many synonyms out as possible but there may be a few remaining.  Some of the varieties listed are probably clones instead of distinct varieties, especially from the <a href="http://www.winecentury.com/blog/?p=305">152 grape wine</a>, and will require a closer look.  Even so, I think we&#8217;ve easily jogged past the 300 grape marker. </p>

And in one bottle no less!</p>
<p>Through the generosity of Tom Reagan (our reigning champ with 426 varieties) I was able to try the <strong>2005 Giribaldi Cento Uve Lange DOC</strong> a wine that our sole Indian member, sommelier <a href="http://www.delhiwineclub.com/Wine_Feature/Piemonte.asp">Subhash Arora, has written about</a>.  </p>
<p>Obviously this wine poses a problem for the Wine Century Club.  Since we allow all the grapes in a blend to count towards our totals, it makes things far too easy &#8211; one sip and Bob&#8217;s your uncle &#8211; wham-bam welcome to the club.  Where&#8217;s the adventure in that? Something must be done! </p>
<p>I convened an emergency executive committee meeting where we came up with a ruling: the <strong>2005 Giribaldi Cento Uve Lange DOC</strong> can not count for initial membership in the club but the grape varieties in it can count towards higher levels of membership (ie Doppel).</p>
<p>Whew!</p>
<p>So how was the wine? </p>
<p>It&#8217;s about 50% Nebbiolo which is interesting since Nebbiolo is rarely blended with other grapes and some would say that, like Pinot Noir, it&#8217;s a grape that shouldn&#8217;t be blended.  Initially it was fairly closed and not very interesting, but opened up into a very aromatic and enjoyable wine &#8211; floral, roses and violets along with a big splash of Dr. Pepper with cocoa and cherries coming out on the palate.  The tannins were abundant and chewy but also drying which would usually indicate that it needs a few more years in the cellar, however in other ways it already seems fully matured. I wouldn&#8217;t wait, especially if you&#8217;re working on your Doppel level!  It was perfect with grilled sirloin.  </p>
