 Tasted by Brainprusnek on 12/5/2011 & rated 94 points: Randomly found this on K&L. was from a private collection. i wish i had bought both that were available. i only bought one. what a mistake. wonderfully refined with lots of tropical fruit (pineapple). deep and rich golden yellow. had a nice characteristic petrol on the nose like a good aged viognier but the florals came through. i am wanting more to see what another five years would do to this (1781 views)

Viogner is wrong wine

This is nonsense.

USA

American wine has been produced since the 1500s, with the first widespread production beginning in New Mexico in 1628. Today, wine production is undertaken in all fifty states, with California producing 84% of all U.S. wine. The continent of North America is home to several native species of grape, including Vitis labrusca, Vitis riparia, Vitis rotundifolia, and Vitis vulpina, but the wine-making industry is based almost entirely on the cultivation of the European Vitis vinifera, which was introduced by European settlers. With more than 1,100,000 acres (4,500 km2) under vine, the United States is the fourth-largest wine producing country in the world, after Italy, Spain, and France.

California

2021 vintage: "Unlike almost all other areas of the state, the Russian River Valley had higher than normal crops in 2021, which has made for a wine of greater generosity and fruit forwardness than some of its stablemates." - Morgan Twain-Peterson
