Other states, other wines We have already discussed the most important wine regions of North America; from New York, Oregon, Washington to California. But wine is made in almost all US states. Let's review the other states and their wines. Cross-border Idaho As we already touched on in Oregon's Cross-Border Wines, Idaho does not have an AVA that is entirely within its own borders. Snake River Valley is partly located in Oregon, but also the other appellation Lewis Clark Valley AVA for wines is partly located in one of the other states, Washington. This is the third appellation in Idaho, after Snake River Valley and Eagle Foothills, and was recognized in 2016. It extends along the courses of the Clearwater and Snake rivers. Of the 124,000 hectares allocated as an appellation, only 40 hectares have been planted. Due to the lower hills of the river area, it is warmer here in the summer. In winter it can go down to -20C, making frost damage a real risk. https://lnkd.in/e4phWBxC

In the competitive world of winemaking, family-owned wineries shine bright with four unbeatable advantages. Unlike corporations, the most successful family businesses prioritize long-term vision, building lasting relationships, ensuring quality, and preserving invaluable institutional knowledge. This is why family wineries continue to thrive in a demanding industry where patience and dedication are paramount. Cheers to the power of tradition and legacy! #FamilyWineries #WineIndustry #LegacyBuilding #BusinessSuccess

Just got out of a Zoom with organizers of The 1976 Redo (https://www.the76redo.com). First, attn vintners: Although deadline for wine submissions is officially tomorrow (06/21), you'll still be able to submit anytime before the first round of judging in mid-July. Second, if you're still wondering why this is being done: Keep in mind that the original 1976 Paris Tasting occurred when, frankly, Californians barely knew a bunghole from bâtonnage The industry has come a long way since. Many vintners have long stopped mindlessly imitating European models, despite increased appreciation. There's heightened awareness of appellations and terroirs, not to mention exponential skill level, experience and technology, although production of good and interesting wine (like any product) is a forever-and-ever process everywhere in the world. Plus, The 1976 Redo is meant to highlight all American wines (not just Californian). Stay tuned, should be interesting. Also re https://lnkd.in/gDRv7r4T

“Allegretto Vineyard Resort - the vineyards here are planted in different directions, and with different spacing between the vines and the rows. It was sensory and metaphysical in determining what each grape variety desired. You may think this is rather esoteric; however, when you taste the wines, the magic will enlighten you in your experience.” Read more about it in the newest edition of the book Exploring Wine Regions: The Central Coast of California. #winelover #winetasting #winesofcalifornia
