September is California Wine Month, and I have the perfect way for you to celebrate the occasion: Join the California Treasures Wine Club!
Why did Vinesse develop a wine club focused specifically on the wines of the Golden State? Simple: Because some of the finest wines in the world are being made in California.
As the Wine Institute points out, abundant sunshine ensures a consistent and long grape growing season, while the diversity of the terroir supports a multitude of wine grape varieties and surprising flavor variation within them.
California’s 800 miles of rugged coastline expose nearby vineyards to natural “air conditioning” in the form of fog and breezes, making for exceptional Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and other cool-climate varieties. Warmer interior valleys receive a similar cooling effect thanks to rivers, lakes and deltas.
Meanwhile, vines planted along hillsides get a fine mixture of cooling air and bright, unfiltered sun conditions that Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot were born to love.
Up and down the state, individual vintners and groups of wineries (which organize into “wine trails”) have organized numerous special events this month. You can find a sampling here.
With so much to enjoy, the California Treasures Wine Club makes experiencing everything there is to love about California wine easy.
P.S.: The holidays will be here before you know it, and a California Treasures Wine Club membership makes a great gift for any wine drinker.
