American wine has a long history, dating back to the early 17th century when European settlers first began planting grapevines in what is now the United States. Today, the United States is the fourth-largest wine-producing country in the world, after France, Italy, and Spain.
The American wine industry is based primarily in California, which accounts for approximately 85% of the country's wine production. Other notable wine-producing regions include Oregon, Washington State, and New York.
The most widely grown grape varieties include Cabernet Sauvignon, Chardonnay, Merlot, Pinot Noir, and Zinfandel. California is particularly renowned for its high-quality wines, with the Napa Valley and Sonoma County being among the most famous. Many of California's top wineries are located in these areas, producing a range of premium wines.
American wines are worthy of attention from wine enthusiasts around the world. Whether you prefer bold reds, crisp whites, or something in between, there is an American wine here for you that will satisfy your palate and leave you wanting more.

Tasting Notes
Like a genuine smile, our Sunny Sauvignon Blanc is refreshing, joyful and carefree.
Our Positively Sauvignon Blanc bursts with flavors of guava, crushed pineapple and ruby grapefruit. It’s as refreshing as a genuine smile and as carefree as a summer breeze.
Winemaking
Winemaker Casey Di Cesare likes to say that flavours are made in the vineyard. That’s why our grapes are left to hang on the vine to reach full maturity and flavor development before harvesting. Upon arrival at our estate winery, the grapes are crushed and fermented to dryness, resulting in zero residual sugar. Using proprietary technology, the alcohol is gently pulled from a portion of the wine. The result? A mindfully made wine that is zero sugar, 9% alcohol and 85 calories per serving (about 30% fewer calories than an average serving).
