 Connoisseurs' Guide to California Wines: Reference   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-30)
Its approximately 40,000 acres are concentrated primarily in the Central Valley and, given its high-yielding propensities in warmer climates, French Colombard accounts for about 40% of all the white wine produced in California in any given year.
Colombard has been propelled into its present popularity by its ability to yield wines of simple but clean, slightly floral fruitiness combined with good acidity in warmer areas.
A few coastal wineries also produce French Colombard, generally in a dry style, but frequently with a little sugar left in it, to make softer, more palatable wines which have met with moderate success.
