3 - Wine Terms - Locations
1.
AVA:
Short for American Viticulture Area which is a federally registered geographical area. Any grapes grown in that region can bear its name. Some famous AVAs would be Napa, Sonoma, and Rutherford to name just a few. There are 252 recognized areas across 33 states as of Nov 2020.
2.
DOCG:
Italian for
Denominazione di origine controllata e garantita
is a superior classification of DOC and reserved for the best quality wines in Italy.
3.
AOC:
A French classification (
Appellation d'origine contrôlée
) of which there are over 300 recognized AOCs. Very tight quality standards must be met to achieve this level of classification.
Note:
In the US market, words like: Reserve and Select are marketing terms and are not regulated. The US does not have any enforced words, classifications or designations for quality; only location and vintage.

2 - Quotes from Me & Others:
1.
"At a party, the best bottle of wine is the empty one." ~ The Zen Winemaker
2.
"The cost of the wine and the quality of the wine often are quite different. Some of the best bottles I have had were under $30 and some were over $200. Bottom line, drink what you like (and can afford)" ~ The Zen Winemaker

1 - Question to ponder:
Light can't exist without Darkness.
Rich can't be talked about without the concept of Poor.
Giving can't occur without Receiving;
both are an expression of the transfer of energy.
So the question is:
Are you primarily a
Giver
or
Taker
?
Are you giving to the universe, or taking from it?

If you shared this newsletter with 2 people, who then each share with two people, how many times would this need to be done to reach every human on earth?
