Legit good to great wines from CA, OR, WA, NY and NM.
Palatable from PA and TX, but nothing I’d ever consider memorable. Most of it was pretty bad, though. My most recent PA try was a nasty brett-laden Chambourcin.
No experience but I have heard about some decent wine being made in VA, MI, ID, AZ, and CO.
I’ve had excellent wines from the usual suspects, CA, OR, WA, NY, MI, pretty tasty wines from ID, CO, and NM. Somewhat drinkable wines from TX, VA and AZ, and totally undrinkable wines from a number of other mid-west states.
Not now but was in RdV and the Linden case club (not a club in the traditional sense) in the past. But to be fair I dropped all clubs except one (Calluna) so don’t read too much into the dropping as that puts them in the company of Ridge and Tablas Creek among others.
CA, WA, OR, NY, VT, MD, MI, VA, TX… And I’m sure soon to expand into multiple other states, with the impending releases of the wines and piquette from American Wine Project (https://americanwineproject.com/).
Gotta say I’m pretty psyched to see NY on almost every list!
Tier 1: Calif, Oregon, Washington
Tier 2: Arizona, NM, New York
– now we get into “drinkable” –
Tier 3: Texas, Colorado, Arkansas, Illinois, NC, Virginia, Missouri, RI, Penn
– and finally, hard to swallow –
Tier 4: Wisconsin, Michigan, Ohio, Minn, Georgia
almost all else is just BS, and where were the grapes from anyway LOL
All BS? I assume you’ve had plenty of samples and speak from broad experience. But the grapes for all that I’ve seen would be from those states. Not sure why CA and WA and OR would be the only states that can produce good wine.
