SONOMA COUNTY More than twice the size as neighboring Napa, Sonoma County overflows with wineries and grape varieties. Within this appellation’s one million total acres, over 425 wineries make their home. Practically every variety of grape grown in California can be found somewhere in Sonoma County. Winemaking here is steeped in history, going back to the 1820s, when Franciscan monks first planted vineyards with the Mission variety - a grape which unfortunately yielded disappointing table wines. The real progress began with Hungarian immigrant, Agoston Haraszthy, today considered the ‘Father of California Wine’. As early as the 1850s, Haraszthy had the foresight to recognize the region’s tremendous viticultural potential, founding the original Buena Vista Winery in 1857. Traveling to Europe in 1861, Haraszthy brought back more than 100,000 grape cuttings of over 300 different varieties from France, Germany, Spain and Italy. He planted most of them in Sonoma, leaving a mark that is evident in the county’s thriving wine industry today. Diverse in its climate, soils, geography and grapes, the patchwork quilt that is Sonoma County contains AVAs on top of AVAs, and sub-AVAs within them. Today, Sonoma County as a wine region is as varied as any could possibly be, with something for just about everyone.

NAPA COUNTY The Napa Valley is one of the worlds great wine regions. Fifty miles north of San Francisco and thirty-six miles inland from the Pacific Ocean, Napa Valley sits snug between the Mayacamas and Vaca mountains ranges. The valley runs north to south and is thirty miles long and just five miles wide. Napa became California’s first AVA in 1981. While Napa total wine production may seem like a lot, the valley only produces 4% of California’s total wine and just 0.04% of wine globally. Roughly one sixth the size of Bordeaux, the valley contains sixteen AVAs within it. Each AVA is has its own unique micro-climate that express different char- acteristics of the varietals grown. Cabernet Sauvignon is king but Merlot, Pinot Noir and Chardonnay and Sauvignon Blanc are all grown in addition to many other varietals. The influence of San Pablo Bay is instrumental in creating the cooler climate in the southern reaches of the valley where temperatures can fluctuate by as much as 15°degrees from the northern end of the valley.

LODI Located directly east of San Francisco at the edge of the Sacramento River Delta, the Lodi appellation is noted for its classic Mediterranean climate and its distinctive sandy soils that provide the perfect environment for the production of world-class wines. The federal government first approved the Lodi American Viticultural Area (AVA) in 1986, and over the past two decades the number of \"Lodi\" labeled wines has skyrocketed.

CENTRAL COAST The Central Coast AVA in California covers approximately 280 miles from Contra Costa County to the Santa Ynez Valley. It covers some of California's most famous AVAs outside of Napa and Sonoma counties, including Paso Robles, Chalone, Santa Cruz Mountains and Santa Maria Valley. The rugged, mountainous topography of the area has been brought about by years of tectonic shift, and the famous San Andreas Fault cuts much of the AVA off from the rest of the United States. The Santa Lucia Mountains, the Galiban Range and the Santa Cruz Mountains all run through this part of California. The San Andreas Fault contributes significantly to the soil types found in the AVAs of the Central Coast. Soil on the western side of the fault is marked by areas of limestone all the way up the coast. This area was once part of an ancient sea bed, and the calcareous soils here are the result of fossilized marine animals. There are also areas of shale and loam in the Salinas Valley in Monterey, and sandy, gravelly soils surrounding San Francisco Bay. Soils range in depth and fertility across the Central Coast AVA, with thin, mountainous types being more suited to quality and the more fertile alluvial types in the valleys being better for high yields and bulk production. ~winefolly.com Central Coast Calera TenshƏn Tortoise Creek Treana Troublemaker 29

OREGON Oregon’s wine industry has been built on small wineries producing wines of impeccable quality. The state ranks third in the U.S. in number of wineries, but only fourth in wine production. Oregon winegrowers have identified a range of growing conditions within the state which is a hotbed of AVA delineation with a steadily growing number of approved appellations, including the Willamette Valley (and its multiple sub- AVAs), Umpqua Valley, Rogue River Valley, Applegate Valley and small sections of Walla Walla and the Columbia Valley. Most of the state’s production is in the northern Willamette Valley, from vineyards on lush rolling hillsides in the foothills of the Coastal Range. In this cool environment, Pinot Noir has made the wine industry justly famous. Umpqua, south of the Willamette, is generally considered a cool-climate region, as Pacific breezes and rainfall nourish the land. Even further south, in the Rogue Valley, a mixture of climates exists. Oregon has become the leader of appellation consciousness in North America.

Willamette Valley encompasses 5,200 square miles and the bulk of the state’s wineries, which now number over 500 . Flanked by the Coastal and Cascade mountains, this appellation has built its reputation on small, quality-oriented producers, fervently devoted to Pinot Noir. The grape benefits from growing on a variety of hillside slopes and on a range of soils, created by volcanic activity and weathered sedimentary rocks. Increasingly, Pinot Gris is also grown, mostly in the foothills of the Coastal Range. Willamette’s climate is generally considered cool and wet. This can be a misnomer, as most precipitation occurs outside the growing season. 38

WASHINGTON Washington’s viticultural history dates back to 1825, when the Hudson’s Bay Company planted the first wine grapes, and by the start of the 20th century every corner of the state was planted with vines. Prohibition put a stop to it, and for decades following the protectionist policies of the state liquor control board ensured that only cheap, sweet wines, punched up to 18 or 19 percent alcohol with bags of sugar were made. The laws changed in the late 1960s, but as recently as the mid-1970s there were only a half dozen wineries in the state, and only two survive today. Washington’s vineyards are almost entirely irrigated, as the state’s eastern half is mostly desert. Major rivers – the Yakima, the Columbia and the Snake – provide water and define most of the AVA borders. The sandy soils and cold winters have proven resistant to the plague of phylloxera, and Washington is unique in the country in that vines are not grafted onto different rootstock. Though initially it was believed that Washington’s winters were too cold for most vinifera grapes to survive, that has been proven wrong. Better clones, better vineyard management, the judicious use of irrigation and the ongoing exploration of favorable vineyard sites has opened the doors to world class grapes and wines of almost every conceivable variety. Today, Washington has almost 550 wineries of all sizes, and 14 unique AVAs. Washington is the nation’s second largest producer of wine. Among the state’s geographic advantages are extra sunlight hours during the growing season (on average, two more hours a day than in California), few if any problems with rain, mold, mildew or rot, and an extended autumn that allows grapes to hang well into October and even November. The fruit attains optimal ripening, while maintaining natural acidity. Washington, maybe more than any other place in the U.S., bridges the gap between traditional Old World winemaking and the wines of much of the New World.

COLUMBIA VALLEY The Columbia Valley AVA is Washington’s all-encompassing region with some 11 million acres of land in all, with over 59,000 acres planted to vines. The Columbia Valley is home to over 99% of all of Washington’s vinifera acreage. Included within its confines are 11 other AVA including Red Mountain, Yakima and Walla Walla Valleys, Wahluke Slope, Rattlesnake Hills, Horse Heaven Hills, Snipes Mountain, Lake Chelan, Naches Heights and Ancient Lakes. The Lewis-Clark Valley, Columbia Gorge and Puget Sound AVAs are the only appellations in Washington that fall outside of its borders. The most significant places where the Columbia Valley is the primary appellation and does not overlap another AVA are the Royal Slope, the Columbia Basin, and the vast expanse north of the Rattlesnake Hills, including the region loosely called Columbia Cascade. The Columbia Valley AVA is geographically defined by mountain ranges which border it on the west and north, and by the Columbia River on the south until it turns north at the Wallula Gap. Here the appellation continues east, following the state line and then dipping down into Oregon to include the southern part of the Walla Walla Valley AVA. The Columbia Valley’s eastern border is loosely defined by the land surrounding the Columbia River as it jogs north, and the Snake River as it runs east. Any AVA this large will incorporate significant differences in rainfall, soils and climate, but in general the Columbia Valley may be characterized by the fact that it encompasses the Eastern Washington desert. This area receives only 6-8 inches of annual rainfall, thus virtually all Columbia Valley vineyard land is irrigated.

ARGENTINA Over the past decade Argentina has evolved from a country relatively unknown on the global wine scene to the New World’s fastest growing wien exporter. The leading grape in Argentina in terms of reputation and quantity is Malbec, a Bordeaux variety imported to Argentina from France in the mid 19th century. Other red varieties produced in Argentina include Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Bonarda (known as Charbono in its native Italy), Syrah, Tempranillo and Pinot Noir. Among white wines, the Argentinian wine region’s signature grape is Torrontés, which yields a floral, tropical-tasting wine. The country also produces Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc and Pinot Grigio. There are seven denominated Argentinian wine regions: Mendoza, Salta, Neuquén, Río Negro, Catamarca, La Rioja and San Juan. Among these, Mendoza is the leader in terms of quantity and quality, with roughly 80% of the nation’s wine production centered in this desert region located almost directly across the Andes Mountains from Santiago, Chile, and about 650 miles due west of Buenos Aires. Neuquén and Río Negro, meanwhile, are in southerly Patagonia, while Salta is in the north of the country, near the border with Bolivia.
