It's a Fine Time for American Wine

Most wine produced in the world is derived from a shared grape species, Vitis vinifera. Consisting of thousands of varieties, vinifera spans broad geographical regions from western Europe to southwest Asia, from the Middle East across to North Africa. When you enjoy wines like Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, Cabernet Sauvignon, Riesling, or Merlot, you're enjoying vinifera. But wine is a mutable force. It's always changing to reflect its present circumstances, and the story of vinifera is evolving.

Many of the areas that were selected as the cream of the crop back then are still highly regarded to this day.
