September is California Wine Month!

Governor Jerry Brown has proclaimed September as California Wine Month, the seventh consecutive year the state has recognized the contributions of the state’s growers and vintners by proclamation.  To celebrate, many of the Golden State’s wineries, winegrape growers and regional associations are hosting special consumer wine events.

California is home to more than 4,600 grape growers and 3,400 bonded wineries, its fertile land accounting for approximately 90 percent of wine production in the United States.  Governor Brown’s proclamation highlights how the California wine community’s commitment to economic and environmental sustainability reflects its intention to remain in operation for many generations to come. California has a widely adopted sustainable winegrowing and winemaking program with participation by vineyards and wineries in all of the regions hosting California Wine Month events.

The three white wines are Brutocao Sauvignon Blanc, Vino Con Brio Brillante and 20 Gauge Chardonnay. The three reds are Vino Con Brio Vibrante, Bliss Pinot Noir and Rockslide Road Cabernet Sauvignon.
