USA

America: home to McDonalds, Trump and a spectrum of accents that would be enough to give anyone a headache. Thankfully though, they do have something going for them: wine! And, just like the American people, these wines come in all sorts of shapes and sizes.
The 3 predominant wine growing states are California, Oregon and Washington (not the one with the White House, I’m talking West coast). All strategically situated along the coast these states enjoy a helping hand from costal influences as well as the heat, creating fantastic growing conditions for grapes such as Zinfandel and Cabernet Sauvignon.
Zinfandel, a grape the Californians once claimed to be their very own All-American contribution to the Wine World, has actually now been found to share exactly the same DNA as Italy’s Primitivo…so that’s awks. Even so, a great wine nonetheless.
