The state of California is known for its beauty, its beaches and its ability to set the standard in film almost as well as it is known for its wine. California makes ninety percent of the wine produced in this country; and it is not just any wine. California wineries account for some of the finest wines produced in the world; rivaling even those of the historic French vineyards.
History of Wine Making in California
The father of California wine country was Agoston Haraszthy, who made his way as a Hungarian soldier before immigrating to the United States where he became a profitable merchant. He single handedly imported over one hundred and sixty-five vines from the greatest vineyards in all of England. There were an astounding three hundred different grapes introduced to the Northern California area, where he founded Buena Vista winery.
