California:

California produces the majority of wine made in the United States. Chardonnay, Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Sauvignon Blanc, Zinfandel and Pinot Noir dominate the wine production in California, but many other varietials thrive in the California climate. Many fine wines are produced in California using Mediterranean grapes.


White Zinfandel:

This has been called an “American Wine” because it came from and is only produced in California. A version of Zinfandel, the skin is removed to create a soft pink rose that is sweet and not for aging.
