In 1976, a single event rocked the wine world. In the famed Judgment of Paris Tasting, top French wine experts chose two unknown wines over the best that France long considered the epitome of great winemaking had to offer. Since then, California has become one of the most exciting and important wine growing regions in the world; home to reds, whites, and sparkling wines that are on par with some of the most iconic wines from older wine regions, including Italy and France. Throughout The Everyday Guide to Wines of California, youll survey some of Californias best wine producing regions, each of which puts its own unique stamp on wine.
