Talk:California wine

message: The original California wine article was essentially a History article and was such more to the more appropriate title History of Californian wine. This article will take a couple days to get into shape but if anyone wants to take their hand at it, feel free. The more the merrier. :) AgneCheese/Wine 19:15, 11 December 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Work in progress

message: The statement " John Patchett opened the first commercial winery in Napa County in 1859. " is in direct conflict with other Wikipedia articles stating that Buena Vista Winery in Sonoma was founded in 1857 by Agoston Haraszthy.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 144.15.245.8 (talk) 22:28, 7 April 2014 (UTC)
thread_title: History in question

message: I think this section will need its own splinter article rather than a list of the AVAs-something along the lines of Bordeaux wine regions. That way we can give a more indepth overview about California wine regions than what we could put in this article without overwhelming it. I'm going to try my best and do a summary style overview but it really won't be of much use without the context of a more developed splinter article. AgneCheese/Wine 10:25, 12 December 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Wine regions

message: This one is, in my opinion, on the low B side and I invite other editors to share their thoughts. The most glaring absence is a viticulture section, though admittedly I'm not sure how much viticultural techniques are unique to California (perhaps rootstock due to phylloxera?). I'm not as concern about the absence of the winemaking section since some of the relevant material is covered in the "New World Wine styles". There is also room for expansion in terms of the commercial aspect of the California wine industry, the unique aspect of Mexican immigration, and the influence of UC-Davis and Fresno State on the development of grape varieties and winemaking techniques.

thread_title: Thoughts on assessment

message: climate and invasive species threats to the industry should have a section, eventually. this article can be linked to:
Dittrichia graveolens, commonly known as stinkwort, is a plant resembling a tumbleweed, usually growing no taller than 3 feet, with small, yellow-petaled flowers. It is an invasive species in California, which potentially threatens wine production in the state. The first sighting of the plant in California was near Milpitas in 1994.

thread_title: Threats to industry

message: If California were a separate country, it would be the world's fourth-largest wine producer.
So? List of wine-producing countries has already USA as #4 producer. This only proves the previous statement: California accounts for nearly 90 percent of American wine production. 82.141.67.208 (talk) 21:00, 19 December 2013 (UTC)
thread_title:  production figures 

message: The number of wineries listed in the article is wildly incorrect. The American Winery Guide lists over 4000 wineries in California, not 1200. Source: http://www.americanwineryguide.com/regions/california-wineries/ Mwehman (talk) 20:08, 28 May 2019 (UTC)
