| Montesquieu Producer website Montesquieu wines seem to be purchased juice or branded wines from other producers and sold through their telemarketing operation. Previously they were sold as boutique producers. Lately they have been labeled as produced by Montesquieu which is a big step in disclosure. They are not alone in this practice of selling excess product, although most others sell at a significant discount, Montesquieu wines are marketed as a premium, exclusive product. Malbec BlendCordiscoUSAAmerican 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.California2021 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 Napa Valley Napa Valley Wineries and Wine (Napa Valley Vintners)Oakville |
