 Tasted by klezman on 3/25/2022: Awkward - too sweet for a table wine but not sweet enough to really hit the dessert wine spot for me. Flavours and aromatics were good but I think RS closer to 6% could have pushed it over into the proper (for us) lighter late harvest style. (1409 views)
 Tasted by brigcampbell on 7/5/2015: Shocked there is only 5 bottles in CT for this wine. This and the rosé are a staple around the house in the summer. Just solid on all four corners. (735 views)
 Tasted by Frank Murray III on 3/7/2015: Tercero Dinner #2 in the OC with Larry Schaffer (A Restaurant In Newport Beach, CA): This is a late harvest style wine, although the database title here that I chose to use would not paint that distinction. There is about 4% RS in this wine, with an alc level around 13%. I don't care much for sweet wines anymore, not do I get enamored by high scoring expensive ones--I simply don't enjoy the sweetness, the density and heavier side of them. This one here, it doesn't come off like that type of late harvest. Apricot, grapefruit, peach and guava, with a touch of sweetness but yet refreshing. If I was to drink late harvest, this is where I would spend my time and money. (1719 views)
 Tasted by brigcampbell on 11/26/2014: This was a little gift from the wine gods that showed up in barrel so they bottled it. Chris loves this wine so a bottle followed us home and we'll pop it with her father. RS is something like 4. Sweet pear, obviously, with medium plus weight but the acid does a nice job of holding this all together and preventing from becoming syrupy. (905 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
