Californian Grape by Grape
When the Franciscan monks founded missions and forts in California in the 18th century, they brought in the non-native vines, Listán Prieto. The grape was planted at each new mission and became known simply as the “Mission” grape. In 1831, French Jean-Louis Vignes built California's first commercial vineyard and start planting European grape varieties, Cabernet Franc and Sauvignon Blanc. After 40 years of cultivation, California wine industry was sadly struck by Phylloxera (1872) and Prohibition (1919-1933). However, California winemakers quickly recovered the vineyards and focused on single varietal wines. Their hard works were rewarded by extraordinary results in the famous Paris Tasting (1976).

Today, California is considered as one of the most important producer of fine wines.

In this session, Anty will go through Californian wine industry, geology, and the six most important grape varieties in California to discuss about their growing regions, characteristics and styles.

Sauvignon Blanc
Chardonnay
Pinot Noir
Zinfandel
Merlot
Syrah

Which soil types can help produce crisp and acidic wines?
