A California vineyard - US Wines

View wines from specific sub-regions:

The history of US winemaking dates back to the 1600s, when colonists planted vineyards in Virginia and, soon after, Pennsylvania. Early attempts met with considerable hardship, however, as settlers didn't care for the taste of some of the native American grapes and European vines shipped in were often destroyed by pests and vine disease. It wasn't until the 1800s that commercially successful wineries started to take hold in the U.S., only to have their growth stunted by more vine epidemics in the late 1800s, and later by Prohibition.

Following the repeal of Prohibition, US winemaking gradually recovered. In the 1970s and 80s, California wineries started to make waves in the international market. Today the United States is one of the world's foremost wine producers, ranking behind only France, Italy and Spain in total wine production.

The vast majority of US wine production comes from the West Coast, and the vast majority of that is from California wineries, which produce almost nine out of every 10 bottles made in the U.S. Washington and Oregon wineries are also significant producers, and New York wineries are beginning to establish a reputation for fine wines, with Finger Lakes wines and Niagara Escarpment wines earning critical acclaim.

Riesling

Riesling Wines

Top countries producing this wine:

The recorded history of Riesling begins in the Rhine and Mosel river valleys of Germany more than 500 years ago, but some believe this versatile grape has been used in winemaking for more than 2,000 years. Arguably the greatest white wine grape in the world (sorry, Chardonnay fans), with a nose that is among the most aromatic and pleasing of any grape, it can be made in many styles, from sweet nectar to bracingly dry.

It is sweetness that defines a Riesling, and the labeling laws of Germany provide a good indication of that sweetness, which is largely determined by how long the grapes are allowed to ripen before they’re picked. The first to be harvested are labeled Kabinett, and they are the driest of the designated wines (though the winemaker has some say in this as well). In ascending order of ripeness and usually sweeetness, there are Spätlese, Auslese and the rare Beerenauslese. Eiswein, while not actually part of this designation, remains on the vine the longest — until the grapes freeze.

Most Rieslings are designed to be drunk when they’re young, offering fresh tree fruit characteristics such as peaches, nectarines and apples. Older, matured wines develop richer flavors of apricot, honey and flowers. The late-harvest Rieslings, because of their extreme richness and high acidity, are capable of long aging; the results are often ethereal, producing wines of great purity and complexity.

Other regions specializing in this cool climate grape include New York’s Finger Lakes, Oregon, Washington, Canada, Alsace, Austria, New Zealand and Australia.
