Led by California, North America has become a bastion of wine production. Once thought of as a non-player, North American wine burst onto the scene only a few decades ago and has never looked back. California, Long Island, and Oregon are just a few regions that have become internationally known. Much like Bordeaux or Champagne, California has become the staple of its style. Napa Valley, Russian River Valley, and other Californian regions are desired destinations for wine lovers all around the world.
