From rich and powerful California Zinfandel to spicy Oregon Pinot Noir, and from full-bodied Washington Merlot to aromatic New York Riesling, the wines of the United States are nearly as diverse as its population. People have been making wine in North America from European vitis vinifera vines since the first French settlers arrived in the 1500s. Progress stalled along the way by pests and diseases that the vine had never encountered in its homelands, but today wine is produced in all 50 states. With more than 260 AVAs to discover, each with its unique climate and landscape, wines of the United States have much to offer.
