Elegant White Wines of California

California produces more wine than any other state in the US. California vineyards are collectively trending towards growing more red grapes, and thus producing more red wine varieties. This means that white wines from California will be slightly harder to find as time goes on. However, the demand for elegant white wines of California will probably never diminish, so they are likely to stay on your store shelves for many years to come.

Wines of California come from varietals of white grapes. The most widely planted varietal that produces elegant white wines of California is chardonnay. This varietal grows well in coastal regions and is appealing because of its fruity flavors. The trend of chardonnay growers has been to produce a more delicate chardonnay to improve sales of the wine. French Colombard varietal is most common in inexpensive wines. Sauvignon blanc is another type of varietal that is known for its tartness. Some connoisseurs say that this varietal has a "grassy" or "herbaceous" taste.

California white wines can also be table wines. A cheap table wine known as chenin blanc is grown mostly in the flat, expansive Central Valley. Chenin blanc is also produced on the coast to vintners who want to expand their selection of varietals. This wine has a delicate taste that some would describe as refreshing. One of the most elegant white wines of California is pinot gris, also known as pinot grigio.

This wine has a fruitier taste and is considered very flavorful. Sparkling wines produced in California use similar techniques to those used in the Champagne region of France. Perfect growing conditions for these wines exist in the cooler areas of California. These wines use pinot noir and chardonnay grape varietals in their manufacture.

last year). With the economy seemingly suffering from a stuck fermentation, we didn’t dare try to squeak hundreds of pounds of grapes into the company budget. So we’re contenting ourselves with bottling our wine (video coming soon—really!) and peeking at what other home winemakers are doing. It was in googling around that we discovered our new favorite blog: NYTimes.com’s The Crush. This fall, NY-based wine writer Alice Feiring has been in California’s Sonoma County, furthering her passion for

France Wins!

Vin] France is the clear winner of Wine Spectator's 2008 Top 100 Wines, if I did my math correctly. The Top 100, released this month, lists 31 French wines, 22 from the USA, and for what I believe is a first, an Israeli wine: Golan Heights Cabernet Sauvignon Galilee Yarden 2004. 5 of the top 10 wines were from France, with Chateauneuf-du-Pape placing twice in the top 10: Vieux Telegraphe and Beaucastel. Predictably, there was plenty of high-end Bordeaux and Burgundy in the Top 100, but you migh

I wouldn’t be the first to say a grey day in Paris can be grim. It can be worse when you’re looking out the windows of your atelier and it appears your balcony is flooding, or it just seems to you that your balcony is flooding because you’ve been looking at a blank Word document for three hours and the Muse hasn’t showed up with coffee yet or even called to say when she might pop by. In reality it’s not even raining (though you’ve got a crick in your shoulder that’s more accurate than meterolog

I wrote this years ago for a book I never was able to get published called, Frenchless in France. All of the chapters had the title of something “less” in France. I know this has been posted before. I am in the States visiting family and having an American Thanksgiving among other things so there will be a few repeats. Elevator-Less in France Because Paris is such an ancient city, and because so many of the buildings here are ancient as well, most people walk up stairs to their apartments.

London's Mayor has written a typically direct article for today's Telegraph, complaining at the inflated cost of wine that will greet him and his diminished pounds on his forthcoming skiing holiday in France: "I will be forced to sip that drink miserably, nursing it in a corner, while all around me hearty red-faced skiers from euroland will be singing shanties and calling for more, slapping their relatively un-devalued banknotes on the counter." Defending George Osborne, Boris lays the
