California

When it comes to world-class domestic viticulture, California is where it’s at. From big-boned Cabernet to site-specific Chardonnay to a handful of other varieties cultivated in between, there’s really nothing that the Golden State’s myriad of soil types and microclimates cannot do. Whether the sunny vineyards of the North Coast or the saline-tinged sites of Santa Barbara are more your style, there’s always something to be discovered in California.
