California Wine Has A Lot Going For It

California wine has a lot going for it: great weather

, remarkable growing conditions, committed growers, and several hundred years of experience. But the great wine that this creates is just one of many reasons why you should take some time to discover California wine. Beyond affordable, delicious wines like the California Cabernet Sauvignon or Sav Blanc, this sunny state also offers a number of other things to do and places to explore that are made even better with a great glass of wine.

The most popular, successful vineyards in California tend to be nestled in foothills in the northern portion of the state, enjoying cool, moist sea breezes and warm air blown from inland. These conditions combine with nearly year-round sun to create perfect growing conditions that compliment a variety of soils and elevations. They also make it a very pleasant place to spend any amount of time. This means two things. First, the actual vineyards are at least as much fun to visit as the most famous Italian and French growers' are. You'll get to spend some comfortable time outside in the warm sun while tasting delicious wines, discovering them in person. Second, a trip to California wine country also enables explorations of the rest of Northern California, including its beaches and lush, rolling hills, not to mention the great city of San Francisco.

Beyond how much fun it is, learning more about California wine is also relatively easy. Trips to California are convenient for most people in the United States, and they're far more affordable than trips to other great wine areas that require a flight to Southern Europe, Australia, or South America. Plus, you're visiting your own country, and probably seeing a part of it you've always wanted to. It's not very difficult to justify this kind of trip.

Affordability plays into the strengths of California wines as well. While some of the world's best new and old world grapes are grown and refined in California, it is still easy to find a very enjoyable bottle of your favorite varietal for under $25. Of course, the best wine will command the same prices as wines from other parts of the world, even if California's time on the premier wine stage only began a few decades ago.

The last reason it is worth the effort to learn more about California wines is that the state is brimming with innovation. Whether it's because the older vineyards are themselves relatively young despite being older than the country itself, or just the atmosphere of Silicon Valley and Tinsel Town to the south, there's no denying that California wine growers, wine makers, and wine sellers are pushing boundaries in a number of directions, testing different weather, aging, and soil combinations, and coming up with innovative sales portals and ways to do more than just sell wine, turning the business into a way to give back local communities.

So if you are looking for a new favorite bottle, grower, or vacation destination, consider California wines. The discovery process itself will be quite enjoyable, and in the end you will be happy with everything that California and its wines have to offer.
