Enjoy the Finest Wine from California’s Napa Valley

https://www.josephphelps.com/pages/napa-valley.html

The earliest historical evidence of wine is from present-day China and Iran and dates to 6000-7000 BC. Over the centuries, wine has evolved into one of the most-consumed beverages in the world. Whether for religious rituals or romantic celebrations, wine is a part of the lives of billions of people worldwide.

Wine is an alcoholic beverage made when grapes are fermented without adding water, sugars, acids or other nutrients. Worldwide commercial wine production now totals over thirty million tons and, unless future crops are affected by unforeseen influences—e.g., global warming, plagues, government regulations—this number will only continue to grow.

Consumers have become very selective when purchasing wine. With blogs, articles and scoring guides available on smartphones everywhere, people can quickly access a trove of information to assist with buying decisions. Consumers—from connoisseurs to a casual drinker—are now more knowledgeable than ever about the different types of wine, labels, regions around the world, vintages and more. For example, most know how a Napa Cabernet differs from a French Champagne or an Italian Trebbiano.
 
Though vineyards exist in areas across the globe,California stands out as the fourth largest wine producer in the world with an annual output of nearly700million gallons. This figure represents roughly ten percent of total worldwide production and includes Cabernet Sauvignon, pinot noir, Chardonnay, Merlot, shiraz, Zinfandel, and Sauvignon blanc.
 
Within California, Napa Valley is far-and-away the largest and most famous region with over 400 wineries. In fact, Napa Valley is the top wine-producing region in the entire country. Though only thirty miles long and approximately five miles wide, Napa Valley wine is recognized by wine-lovers throughout the world for its distinctive flavor, style and reputation. Blind tastings have continually shown that Napa Valley wines—particularly its Cabernet Sauvignon—are on-par with French labels which have been around for centuries.

Things to Keep in Mind While Enjoying the World’s Finest Wines

Although the popularity and consumption of wine has dramatically surged in the past decade, it has actually been around for centuries. In fact, though no one knows exactly when the first batch was produced, we do know that Middle Eastern peoples were drinking it as early as 2500 B.C. Wine has played a significant role in the development of culture and religion, with evidence of wine found throughout the Bible and in Egyptian hieroglyphs.  Wine is an alcoholic beverage that can technically be made from any fruit, but is most commonly produced from fermented grapes. However, wine is not derived for many of the common grapes you see in the produce section. Unlike the plump table grapes we are accustomed to seeing and eating, wine grapes are “lean and mean”…small and sweet, delicate with thicker skins and bitter seeds.

Though the earliest written account of vineyards and wine can be found in the Bible, the earliest scientific evidence of grapes actually dates back over 60 million years.

Cabernet sauvignon, pinot noir and merlot are the most common and popular grape-based options among wine lovers.

The Basics of Wine Production

Image
Wine is an alcoholic beverage traditionally produced from fermented grapes (and less commonly from rice, apples, cherries, plums and other fruits) and enjoyed by billions across the globe. Scientific research confirms that wine has been around for over 6,000 years, the earliest traces discovered in ancient China, Iran and Georgia. While varieties, availability, consumption levels and overall quality have increased exponentially—particularly in the past several decades—something that has not dramatically changed is the fundamental process of wine production.  Simply put, the winemaking process includes picking and crushing grapes, fermenting the grapes into wine and finally aging and bottling it. This process may seem quite straightforward but, because the production is a multi billion-dollar industry with each maker angling for a distinct advantage over competitors, it is actually anything but simple. Thorough research and detailed planning must take place before any ste
