 Uncorked California dreamin’
I do remember a time when the " California " designation often indicated lower quality: the fruit grew in the hot, dry valley, rather than on the coastal side of the hills, and the wines were made from cheap, mass-produced grapes.
When a label says only " California, " it means that the wine was made (or finished) in that state, and 100 percent of its grapes — as required by California law — were grown there.
One indication of the " California " label’s swing back to respectability is the highly political opposition by the Wine Institute, the public-policy advocacy association of California wineries, to the proposed " California Coast " AVA.
