Pink Catawba

It has a lovely rose color and is delightfully balanced between sweet and tart. Pink Catawba has the perfect blend of light, crisp mild berry, fresh fruit flavor. — 7 years ago

**My new favorite obsession. Local PA wine. I searched PA Wine and Spirits stores high and low for this wine and no dice. Tracked it down at Wegmans (grocery store) in Williamsport, PAin June of 2018. Worth the wait! I bought two bottles to bring back to the Burgh with me! Quite sweet and had beautiful coloring.

Ridge Vineyards

Geyserville Sonoma County Zinfandel Blend 2017

The first European grapes were planted in what is now the U.S. in the 1600s, where Spanish missionaries in New Mexico needed sacramental wine. But Phylloxera was ever-present near the eastern population centers, so the earliest American wine industries were built on hybrid grapes. Cincinnati's sparkling Catawba was America's first cult wine, followed by cultivars like Norton, Isabella, and Concord in Missouri and Virginia. The sleeping giant began to awaken in the 1850s, when Agoston Haraszthy began importing high-quality vine material to California.

It all came crashing down with Prohibition in 1920. Not only were vineyards ripped up and knowledge lost, but the American palate became soft and sweet. Low-quality fortified wine from whatever grapes were available became the standard of the American wine industry.

Things began to shift in the 1960s. Robert Mondavi brought dry table wine, varietally labeled, back to the forefront. Boutique producers like Ridge began to creep toward European quality standards. The 1976 Judgement of Paris blind tasting, a sweeping victory for the Americans, proved that the New World wine was here to stay.

(This is adapted from notes for Le Dû's Wines 'History of Wine 1453AD-Present' seminar, where this wine was poured)

While label shows 2/3 on line between dry and sweet, this wine is certainly more sweet. Really good and would buy again but best drank as a dessert wine or when you want a more sweetened grape taste. — 9 years ago
