Tell me, what do you know about the Californian wine country? If you are like most people probably not a whole lot. Sure you are probably aware that California is well known for its wine, but that does not really tell you much about the culture of the wine that comes from Napa or the Sonoma valley. Personally I am someone who is in a love hate relationship with California and the wine that it produces. I love its cabs, merlots and some other varietals, but I absolutely with every fiber of my body loath the disgusting pinot noirs that are made in California. I wish that people would wake up and stop making them there. Listen up! Pinot Noir (the grape) hates the sun! That is why Cali Pinots taste like prune juice mixed with flat cola … california wine club
