Raise your glass and make a toast. California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger has proclaimed September 2010 as California Wine Month for the sixth consecutive year. Many of California’s wineries, wine grape growers and regional associations are hosting events surrounding the state’s signature beverage. Hmm. Perhaps it’s time to plan a vacation to California.
“California has long been known for our production of superior, award-winning wines,” said Governor Schwarzenegger in his proclamation. “The Judgment of Paris in 1976 brought California wine to the world stage and established our wine producers as respected masters of their craft. This month is dedicated to celebrating our rich history of wine-making and the bright future of this important industry.”
California is home to more than 4,600 grape growers and 3,000 bonded wineries and accounts for about 90 percent of wine production in the United States. Special tastings, harvest tours and wine festivals are some of the events scheduled throughout the state. Visit www.discovercaliforniawine.com/learn/september-wine-events to find those September events. California Wine Month is a campaign coordinated by Wine Institute and its more than 1,000 California wineries and affiliated businesses.
A California destination we’re familiar with is Palm Springs, located less than a two-hour drive east of Los Angeles. While there aren’t any specific activities related to California Wine Month (but check the Discover California Wine site as events are being added daily) in Palm Springs, there are still wine-focused activities to enjoy such as the wine shop called PS Wine (188 S Indian Canyon Dr., Palm Springs; Tel: 760-322-4411); Palm Springs Wine and Art, a wine tasting room in an art gallery-type setting (242 N. Palm Canyon Dr., Palm Springs; Tel: 760-325-9991); and the wine bar Wild on the Vine (390 N. Palm Canyon Dr., Palm Springs; Tel: 760-325-9930).
Swirl, sniff, sip and stay in Palm Springs this September.
