Weekly Wine Quiz: Windows On The World Complete Wine Course Giveaway Edition!1 min read

Posted on December 7, 2012December 7, 2012 by 1WineDude

in giveaways, wine quiz

Welcome to the Weekly Wine Quiz, you lushes oh vino-inspired peoples!

This week, we are combining the quiz with a giveaway, the giveaway item happening to also be the source of said quiz: the brand-spankin’-new edition of Kevin Zraly’s excellent (and long-running) Windows On The World Complete Wine Course (worth about $20; I received a review copy).

Here’s the skinny on how this will work:

  • You post a comment on this here post with your guess for the correct answer to the quiz question on or before 11:59PM PT TODAY.
  • Tomorrow (December 8th), I will post the official answer, and randomly select a winner from those who answered correctly in the comments. You need to have a mailing address in the continental U.S. (and have commented with the correct answer… duh…) to be eligible to win.

Ready? Let’s do this!

(According to Kevin Zraly’s Windows On The World Complete Wine Course), what was the most planted red grape (by acreage) in California in 1970?

Cheers – and good luck!

    Zinfandel.

    (And Zraly''s book will make it to one of my year end lists for Favorite Introductory Wine Book)

      Thanks, Richard. Tough to bet against Kevin, he’s a wine bad-ass (& very nice guy… & damn tall, though to me mist people are ” tall” :-).

  2. JIm says:
    December 7, 2012 at 9:09 am

    And the answer is Zinfandel.

    1. 1WineDude says:
      December 7, 2012 at 11:06 am

      Thanks, Jim. Good luck!

    Going out on a limb here, but I'm going with Carignan(e).

    1. 1WineDude says:
      December 7, 2012 at 11:06 am

      ESR13 – bold choice! I’m a fan of that grape, though I seem to be in minority company on that lately. Cheers!

  4. George Sliney says:
    December 7, 2012 at 9:51 am

    Zinfandel. My favorite varietal!

    1. 1WineDude says:
      December 7, 2012 at 11:07 am

      George – I do believe that you mean variety. Or varietal wine :-). We’ll let you slide this time!

  5. MearaOnTheWall says:
    December 7, 2012 at 9:53 am

    Zinfandel, because of the popularity of White Zinfandel during that time.

    1. 1WineDude says:
      December 7, 2012 at 11:07 am

      Thanks, Meara!

  6. Gary says:
    December 7, 2012 at 9:54 am

    Zinfandel

    1. 1WineDude says:
      December 7, 2012 at 11:07 am

      Thanks, Gary!

  7. Dusty says:
    December 7, 2012 at 10:56 am

    Zinfandel, but don't pick me, I actually have it already!

    1. 1WineDude says:
      December 7, 2012 at 11:05 am

      Thanks, Dusty. Well, if your answer is correct and if you win, I'm sure we could find something from the wine book sample pool for you…

  8. Amy Larson Downing says:
    December 7, 2012 at 11:31 am

    Zinfandel!

    1. 1WineDude says:
      December 7, 2012 at 12:27 pm

      Thanks, Amy!

  9. Leonard Land says:
    December 7, 2012 at 11:43 am

    I would guess Merlot

  10. Todd - VT Wine Media says:
    December 7, 2012 at 12:00 pm

    I'm going to guess old-school with Alicante Bouchet.
    CA not my strong suit…as if I even had one.

  11. Peter says:
    December 7, 2012 at 12:07 pm

    PINOT!

    1. 1WineDude says:
      December 7, 2012 at 12:28 pm

      PETER! :) Thanks.

  12. Les Hubbard says:

    Hey Joe, you weren’t old enough to be in California in 1970, but I was. So my answer would be Zinfandel. Amador County had an over abundance. So much so in fact that the Trinchero family had to invent a new wine, white Zinfandel. I suspect you secretly drink Sutter Home white Zin to accompany your gourmet dinners.

    Les Hubbard

    1. 1WineDude says:
      December 7, 2012 at 12:29 pm

      Les – you're on to me…! ;-)

  13. Drew Matich says:
    December 7, 2012 at 1:03 pm

    Haven't read that book, but I'm going to go with one of the higher yield central valley grapes…let's go French Colombard (if I took two guesses, the other would be Chenin Blanc).

    1. 1WineDude says:
      December 7, 2012 at 1:15 pm

      Thanks, Drew!

  14. Drew Matich says:
    December 7, 2012 at 1:09 pm

    And Joe, I'm a Carignan fan too.

    1. 1WineDude says:
      December 7, 2012 at 1:16 pm

      Drew – yeah, we need a support group I think… :)

  15. Sabrina says:
    December 7, 2012 at 1:35 pm

    Zinfandel – I think….

    1. 1WineDude says:
      December 7, 2012 at 1:53 pm

      Thanks, Sabrina!

  16. @bigboldreds says:
    December 7, 2012 at 3:57 pm

    Is the Young, Unpaid Shelby allowed to guess Zinfandel? :)

    1. 1WineDude says:
      December 7, 2012 at 4:14 pm

      Shelby… ah, ok, we'll let it slide! :)

  17. Dee says:
    December 7, 2012 at 4:21 pm

    Zin Zin Zinfandel =)~

    1. 1WineDude says:
      December 7, 2012 at 4:28 pm

      :) Thanks, Dee!

  18. Mary says:
    December 7, 2012 at 4:27 pm

    I'm going with Zinfandel, because I don't own Zraly's book and I really want it!

    1. 1WineDude says:
      December 7, 2012 at 4:32 pm

      Mary – :) thanks. Good luck!

  19. masi3v says:
    December 7, 2012 at 4:43 pm

    I am going with Carignane (and that took me a while)….

    1. 1WineDude says:
      December 7, 2012 at 5:27 pm

      Thanks, masi. Brave choice!

  20. April says:
    December 7, 2012 at 7:25 pm

    I have to be different and go for Cabernet Sauvignon.

    1. 1WineDude says:
      December 7, 2012 at 7:31 pm

      Thanks, April.

  21. WINERAM Colin says:
    December 8, 2012 at 12:21 am

    I'll go with being a bit different as well and toss out MERLOT!

    1. 1WineDude says:
      December 8, 2012 at 7:10 am

      Thanks, Colin.

  22. 1WineDude says:
