Wine Production by U.S. State, 2024.
California accounts for 78.5% of U.S. wine production, followed by New York (4.2%), Washington (4.0%), and Oregon (2.8%). Behind that are many surprises (e.g., Kentucky #5, New Jersey #8).

New: shelf talkers! With new ownership comes change. The most important change is expanding our products, which is our primary focus now. But these are my babies. We know that sometimes you don’t feel like talking. So I researched and wrote these shelf talkers. -Chris

I’m finding it’s a bit dangerous to own @marylandfarmsws.bsky.social as I keep coming across gems like this on our shelves. #wine #Port

The bright aromas of raspberry, blackberry, strawberry & cherry meld together on the palette. Soft, yet firm tannins frame the fruit with spices & vanilla into a balanced, lingering finish. Come in and grab a bottle of Willajory Willamtte Valley Pinot Noir at under $20!

For my Friday #wine post, this is a helpful breakdown of the price hikes the wine & spirits industry is seeing following the #tariffs. It cost me $50 more for my spring shipment from New Zealand. Politics aside, drinking is just more expensive now. www.wineenthusiast.com/culture/indu...

There’s a duh/strawman aspect to this. Of course taste & cost are the most important factors in selling #wine. “Here is my $300 Cab. It tastes like overripe, molded fruit but we have solar panels!” Get out of here. It’s about making great wine then telling the story of why it is worth a few extra $.
