Worth 100 Points After reading four articles, write an essay that addresses the following questions: 1. What were the subjects of your articles?

2. What were the most memorable things you learned? 3. How did they relate to the material you learned in class (try if possible to tie your articles to a book chapter)? (the book: Give Me A Liberty) The essay should be approximately two typed, double spaced pages. Your articles do not have to relate to one another. You should answer each of the three questions above for each article so I recommend that you deal with each article in a separate paragraph (with an intro and conclusion that makes for a six paragraph essay). It is not necessary to have a thesis statement although writing a thesis is a good habit to form and you might attempt one just for practice. Your grade will not be effected because of the quality of your thesis statement or lack of a thesis statement. Basic Requirements Access the instructor’s Flipboard magazine by going to the following the following hyperlink which will take you to the Flipboard magazine: https://flipboard.com/@tonimcdanie2015/us-history-magazine-226fstuiy You may need to cut and paste this web address into your browser window. Scroll down to see all of the available articles in this magazine. You MUST read a minimum of four articles from this magazine. No other history related material will count for this assignment. Your essay MUST be word processed, double spaced, and follow the guidelines you learned in English 1010 for writing essays. Your essay must contain an intro and a conclusion and you must include the titles and authors of each article in your essay. This is meant to be a simple end of the semester assignment.

Develop your own winery in the New World to create wines like the famous old world target. Do not get creative and make a wine that is unique or different from the target winery just because you think that will be neat.

If you use different grapes or make a wine sweet that is supposed to be dry or vice versa you will get a 50% reduction in grade. In other words –use the same grape varieties Also find the best place to make this wine and grow the grapes, not one that is exotic–where is the best wine of that type made in the new world? IMPORTANT: Do not use cold locations such as New Zealand, or Michigan, Virginia, Texas or even Oregon to grow Bordeaux varieties. In the instructions below you will see that the first paragraph in your simulation is about your old world winery, this will be the basis for your simulated winery, where you will try to make a wine in the style and with the same grapes as the old world winery. Submit this paper in the Simulation Assignment in Word format. Use a font of 12 or larger size. Submissions should be by the date shown on the schedule. No late papers (up to an hour or so past midnight is ok, but if it is not there by morning, you will likely lose enough points to drastically lower your grade! The new world, includes everything outside of Europe (US, Australia, South America, South Africa). There you will think through the process of building a winery and making wine just like that of the old world winery that you researched. It should have the same qualities, so grape variety, terroir and style of wine making must match that of the old world, but it could be more modern. This new winery will be yours so it will have a new name that your create. Paper Structure or Protocol: Put headings for each section of the paper, this reminds you of what is required and the reader what your are intending to cover. Make sure each section is complete, grades are based on accuracy and completeness. Paper Sections: Show each of these headings in bold in your paper. Do not leave out any section. Section I, History: This is about your old world winery, give its Name, then its history, the style of its wines, the grape blend used there, and wine-making details, including aging. In a couple of beginning paragraphs, describe your target winery its history and wine style. Include some History of the old world winery and its terroir. This does not have to be long, but it should give the references for where you got the history information. Web sites are not allowed for the history unless nothing is in the two major Bordeaux references in the Rosen Library. Section II Introduction to New World: Combines the information from the old world, and your research about the new world site that matches the old world. Be careful to properly cite your references as you did in the Exercise 2, use at least two of the recommended sources about your wine region (on reserve) as well as web sites. Section III: Location in New World: Give the AVA and Sub AVA (if available) to your New World Location. It must be outside of Europe (US, Australia, South America, South Africa). Describe the New World location and why you chose that site, i.e.; how does that site match the old world site, in other words give it Terroir. Choose the best place to make this wine, look at where it is made and use the best of those sites. Give specific AVA, eg; not Napa but Rutherford which is a sub AVA of Napa. It must be a prime site, so marginal locations such as Oregon, Texas, Michigan, Virginia or New Zealand are not good choices. The quality of the location for your wine is part of the grade Section IV, Wine-Making: This should be the most detailed section (See lectures 1 and 2 for background information). Think through the process of building a winery and making wine just like that of the old world winery that you researched. It should have the same qualities, same grape variety, terroir and style of wine making. It must match that of the old world, but it could be more modern. This new winery will be yours so it will have a new name that your create. Describe the wine making techniques to make this wine and explain how it matches that of the old world winery. Give details (the more detail the better!) that must include: a. Grape varieties used, and the degrees Brix at harvest ,b. Yeast used (native or cultured), c. Crush (destem, type of grape press, wash and sterilize or not), d. Fermentation Vessel (Steel, wood, concrete) , e. Pigage or pump over to stir the Must, f. Racking, g. Fining process or other clarification, h. Temperature control or not in fermentation, i. Aging, how long, what kind of barrels (American Oak or French Oak), how long in barrel?, j. Wine Quality describe the color, bouquet and flavor of your new wine. Give the style of the wine you just made. Section V Label and Name: a Name your new winery. b. Label: Make a mock label, at least give all information that you will put on the label, some are required by law (look that up, especially the warnings), give the actual information not just a mention that they exist. For bonus points give label jpeg with art work. Label Details: Be complete remember that some details are required by law. Look up legal requirements or just examine a label of a US wine, both front and back labels! Don’t just remark that there are legal label requirements, be sure to include the exact wording required by law and all label details required by international agreement such as: volume, country of origin, producer name, alcohol percentage and actual sub AVA. Section VI: Bibliography: APA guidelines must be followed. Use at least one referred article or book, especially Cocks and Feret, or Bordeaux and its wines on reserve. Web sources may be used for the old world winery information, but realize that this may be marketing hype. Give it your personal stamp by naming the new world winery and develop a unique label. Photos and Label mock ups with GOOD ART (not pencil sketches can earn extra points. Bonus: Quality label artwork for the label sometimes get bonus points-but it has to be really good.. Bibliography: Please reference the sources of information (APA style only), Use quotation marks and give citation if you use material from your sources verbatim. See Library for APA style sheet (pink one). Just as with the Old World Winery paper in Exercise 2, you must use several sources, with at least one book, more is better to give more breadth. If you use web sites, cite them so that I can look them up and as with books, when you use material from web sources use quotes if verbatim (i.e.; word for word) and always give the source when you recite facts (like alcohol concentration or production details that are not general info).
