Tuesday Tasting Going Back to Cali Wines and Club Pickup

We can thank LL Cool Jay for ‘going back to Cali, Cali, Cali…’ California is a global wine powerhouse, boasting over 4,000 wineries and producing more than 80% of the U.S. wine supply. Its diverse geography and climates create ideal conditions for various grape varieties. Wine in California dates back to the 18th century, when Spanish missionaries first planted vineyards. Today, it’s home to some of the world's most respected and innovative winemakers, continually redefining the craft.

Tuesday Tasting and Wine Club Pick up! Catalonian Wines

The beginning of the school year brings a sense of excitement through learning. Let’s deep dive into Catalonia, Spain through wine! Catalonia’s wines are unique due to French influences in techniques and varietals, creating a diverse range of styles from both international and local grapes. The region’s varied geography and micro-climates enhance its versatility. Mediterranean heat-loving varieties dominate, with Garnacha and Carignan leading in reds and Tempranillo (Ull de Llebre) in smaller amounts. For whites, Macabeo, Xarel-lo, and Parelleda are key, particularly in Cava production. Sun-drenched rows of grapevines stretch out as far as the eye can see, cradled between the imposing Pyrenees Mountains and the sparkling Mediterranean Sea. The vineyards, meticulously tended by passionate vintners, tell stories of resilience and dedication, creating wines that are a true reflection of Catalonia’s soul.
