Welcome to the Weekly Wine Quiz, holiday shoppers!

As always, I supply the quiz question but not the answer – not right away, anyway. YOU provide your best guess as to the correct answer in the comments section. Then, you can tune in later today when I will reveal the official correct answer (usually along with some other interesting related trivia tidbits) in the comments, to see if you’ve achieved bragging rights about your wine smarties over your friends. Since the weather outside is getting mildly frightful (at least where I live), this week we’ll enter the frosty world of ice wine…

• A.  1st Century AD
• B.  3rd Century AD
• C.  9th Century AD
• D.  The 1100s

Cheers – and good luck!
