About Californian Wines
California is fourth in line for wine production – in the entire world. In the US, California is responsible for 90% of wine production. Some of the finest wines in the world are made in California.
Key California grapes:
Red wine grapes – Cabernet Sauvignon, Pinot Noir, Merlot, Zinfandel, and Syrah
White wine grapes – Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc, Pinot Grigio, French Viognier, and Riesling
Key California wine regions:
- Napa Valley
- Sonoma County
- Mendocino County
- Marin County
- Lake County
- Monterey County
- San Luis Obispo
- Paso Robles
- Santa Barbara
- San Diego
- Central Valley
- Sierra Foothills
California grapes consistently receive sufficient sun exposure for ripening. This means that California wines rarely have bad vintages. The wines also don’t need to age before enjoying. Buying recent vintages and drinking them rather than saving them can save you money compared to purchasing European vintages.
Reading a Label for California Wine
When categorizing Californian wines, the grape variety is the key piece of information, but other elements influence the quality and characteristics of wines.
After the grape variety, you’ll choose the brand. Knowing the best brands is difficult until you have experimented with various options. Have fun and keep a log of the wines you like.
