Where are we traveling?

California If 50 American states produce wine, Californian production alone represents approximately 85% of the country's production, making this state the 4th largest producer in the world behind Italy, France and Spain. The climate is strongly influenced by the Pacific Ocean which at this latitude is a cold ocean. The wine-growing regions located near the Pacific have an oceanic climate becoming Mediterranean the further inland you go from the ocean and it becomes more continental near the Sierra Nevada. Bays and openings to the sea, such as San Pablo Bay, act as thermal regulators on viticulture, particularly in Napa and Sonoma Valley. The sub-region: Napa Valley Napa Valley, located an hour's drive north of San Francisco, is the most famous and prestigious wine region in the New World. Although a number of grape varieties are grown in the valley's vineyards, the region is particularly known for its Cabernet Sauvignon. Climate, geology and topography are three essential components that make Napa Valley a premier wine region. The combined influences of San Pablo Bay and the hills of the North Coast Ranges are responsible for the valley's very unique microclimate. The bay generates morning fog and the hills channel it inland into the valley. Without this fog that comes from the bays, the climate in the valley would be significantly warmer than it is, making it difficult to achieve structure and balance in the wines.

The little history of the country

UNITED STATES

In the United States, 90% of the wine produced comes from California. It was the influx of gold prospectors to California that boosted the California wine industry in the mid-19th century, particularly in the Sonoma and Napa region. At the start of the 20th century, there were 800 wineries. From 1919 to 1933 Prohibition destroyed the vast majority of the California wine industry so that by 1933, only 140 wineries remained producing wine. It was only from 1960 that the wine industry began to recover from Prohibition and California was primarily known for the production of fortified wines (in the style of Port). It was also in the 1960s that some of the most famous estates were created (Mondavi, Heitz Wine Cellars, Stag's Leap Wine Cellars, etc...). In 1976, a significant event took place: the legendary tasting competition better known as the "Judgment of Paris". He sees the greatest French wines opposing the new American wines. This May 24, an unexpected result shakes the world of wine, since to everyone's surprise, it is the United States which wins. However, this competition remains relatively unknown to the general public. Today, there is no doubt that the United States produces great wines. Even though California largely monopolizes the reputation of American wines with its excellent Zinfandels, the state of Oregon produces some of the best Pinot Noir in the world and the state of Washington offers excellent Chardonnay, Merlot and Cabernet-Sauvignon.
