U.S. is still a child when it comes to wine producing. Winemakers are very much finding their way when it comes to which grape varieties are suited to which regions. But what americans did managed to do is a brand name out of Napa Valley and Sonoma County in California.

California is appreciated for it’s red wines. So, just north of San Francisco Bay is Napa Valley appreciated for it’s Cabernet Sauvignon and Sonoma County well-reknown for the Pino Noir. Another red from California worth interest is Zinfandel, recognized as Italian Primitivo.

Other wine regions in California will be further south: Santa Clara Valley, Carmel Valley, Arroyo Seco, Paso Robles and Edna Valley, Temecula and the San Pasqual Valley. Apart from California wine-making in U.S. moved also to Washington and Oregon.
