Stargate Program

The Stargate Program is a fictional special access program that plays a key role in the Stargate franchise: it surrounds the operations of the Stargate on Earth. The core of the Stargate Program is Stargate Command (SGC), based at the Cheyenne Mountain Air Force Station near Colorado Springs, Colorado. During the run of Stargate SG-1, the NID is most critical of the Stargate Program, while the program is extended through the establishment of the Office of Homeworld Security/Homeworld Command and the International Oversight Advisory (IOA). The Atlantis Project as seen in Stargate Atlantis is part of the Stargate Program but works independently during season 1 of the show.

Despite alien attacks such as in "Lost City" and "Ex Deus Machina", all attempts are made throughout the series to keep the existence of the Stargate Program secret, assuming there would be mass panic if the public found out. Several alternate-universe episodes address the public reaction to the revelation of the Stargate Program. Nevertheless, some conspiracy theorists in the series assume extraterrestrial activity at the highest levels of the military. A very few select civilians such as Pete Shanahan and Jeannie Miller are also aware of the existence of the Program.

SGC (wine)

SGC is a brand of 4 Bordeaux wines coming from parcels that were not discovered at the time of the Bordeaux Wine Official Classification of 1855, coming from secret parcels on both left and right banks of Gironde river, benefiting from specific soil components to produce a Grand Vin. SGC parcels are small in size and produce a red wine in the following appellations: Pauillac, Medoc, Pomerol and Saint-Emilion Grand Cru.

Each of the 4 wines has its own blend of grape varieties matching the specifics of the appellation. In average SGC produces 3500 cases per year.

Created by Arnaud Christiaens, a former financier in 2006, it quickly gained recognition from famous wine critics such as Michel Bettane and Jancis Robinson . World champion sommelier Gérard Basset is the ambassador of the brand.

History

Oenophile financier Arnaud Christiaens founded SGC in 2006 with the goal to produce a wine good enough to compete with the best of the appellation. Jancis Robinson wrote "This is a scheme designed to kick the whole Bordeaux system where it hurts most".
