The golden state of California - so named for its Golden Gate Bridge, fields of golden poppies and perhaps most significantly, the 1848 discovery of gold which led to the rapid population growth of the region - is also the golden child of the US wine family. Accounting for nearly 90% of the country’s production, the area delivers world renowned mono-varietals and blends from the principal grapes - Cabernet Sauvignon and Chardonnay.
