Cali is truly a great place to get shitfaced especially Sonoma County. The flavors are unique and the people mad chill.

My wife and I simply love the Santa Barbara, Santa Ynez & Santa Maria valley wines and wine producers. We actually love it more than Sonoma and Napa since it is less crowded, less expensive, and far less arrogant. Paso Robles is right there with 3 Santa’s.

Awesome video. I wish you had started your trip in San Diego and worked up. There’s a lot of vineyards in San Diego county and up through Temecula too.

this is a perfect video for the enthusiast or a student beginning a journey into wine expertise. keep up the good work!

I plan on watching all of these informative videos. Just a bartender, trying to learn a little bit more.

I am off to the store to get a bottle of Paul Masson Chardonnay.. my all time favourite wine.....Thank you for the download..California is beautiful, the wine, sublime.

Nice video! I've searched for Kasey Passen to follow her on social media but sadly she passed away in 2018. Thanks for sharing your passion

@LCBO i am using your videos as a "foundational step" to educate myself AND discover new wines..... i've come to look at wine and food as an Epicurean Journey, a travel with the senses of smell and taste...... THANK YOU for these informative videos !!!!!!!!!

Love this!!!

Austin Hope makes a great Cabernet! He's amazing!

Fess Parker Pinot Noir is the superlative example...if you can find it

-- Radioactive Traces from the Fukushima Nuclear Disaster Found in California Wine Following the 2011 Fukushima nuclear power plant accident, radioactive waste leaked into surrounding areas and contaminated waters and food. Seven years later, traces of the disaster were found half a world away -- in California's wine. A group of French nuclear physicists tested 18 bottles of California's rosé and cabernet sauvignon produced in 2009 and onward and found that the wines produced after the disaster had increased levels of a man-made radioactive particle. Cabernet sauvignon, for example, had double the amount. [Tracking Japan's Tsunami Debris (Infographic)] The researchers used two methods to look for traces of a radioactive isotope called cesium-137. The first method was developed about 20 years ago and could detect the particles through the wine bottle, without destroying or opening it. Since the presence of cesium-137 prior to 1952 is impossible (it's a man-made isotope first released into the surroundings by nuclear testing in the mid-20th century), it has proven quite effective for detecting fraud in old vintage wines, according to the study. For a more accurate detection, the researchers destroyed the wines through heating and reducing them "to ashes," they wrote. They tested for the cesium-137 in those ashes. Though they did find increased levels of the radioactive waste, experts say there is nothing to worry about, according to The New York Times. There are no "health and safety concerns to California residents," the California Department of Public Health told the Times. The levels of radioactive toxins found in food and drinks outside of Japan is too low to be dangerous, according the World Health Organization. Even in Japan at the core of the meltdown, though over 100,000 people were evacuated from their homes, there have been no deaths or radiation sickness reported so far, according to the World Nuclear Association. Further, most bottles of wine made after 1952 do contain at least a little bit of this nuclear twist.

nice video. Thanks for uploading.

It is a sin this video is not HD, specially when other ones in the channel are... Just feedbacking, I love the videos. : )

I like wine, but some of the enthusiasts can be tough to withstand.

Wine Country

Mhhh wine, i can't wait to make one like this about Indiana and our wines.Definitely looking at this as a blue print.

California has some really nice wines, Napa is gold, but it suffers from over oaking specially in high priced Cab from Napa and the "buttery" Chardonnay from Santa Barbara, Pinot Noir also loose a lot of its character in warmer regions, Oregon PN is superior in many ways. Suavignon Blanc is straight bad. The real gems that shine in California are Zinfandel, Cab Franc, and Petite Sirah, from Livermore, Lodi and Clarksburg.

Paso Robles

Are there any California wines that aren’t OAKED to death?

👍

Greetings, can you suggest me the prerequisite for collaborating with you. GRATITUDE.

Sad video. Have any of you actually been to Santa Barbara? I live in Santa Rosa and it’s the most beautiful place in the US. The wine is great in Sonoma, Kenwood, Santa Rosa, Napa, and Mendocino and it’s gorgeous here. I can’t say anything about Santa Barbara, but the “wine country” is really Sonoma County, Napa, and Mendocino, not Santa Barbara.

What kind of word is “varietals” ???

😁😁

Italy🇮🇹 and France🇫🇷 WINE, THE BEST

I hate the expression ‘sense of place’- sounds both obvious and pretentious at same time.

This is a poor presentation about the California wine industry. The presentation glossed over California wines, and the presentation clearly shows it doesn't think much about the region. This video was a poor attempt to show LCBO wine industry reporting coverage, and nothing more. Watching this I thought I was watching a travel video marketing tool.

im not drinking any fucking merlot

Come on California will never be on the level of France! Vive La France!

Hi, Love the video, could we post this video on our youtube channel? Thanks! Toast Tours

I have a question ，we know that the red wine was not cleaned in the productive process ，so bird maybe fly and piss on the grapes ，so how can you make sure that was not covered by the animal piss while you are drinking！

Hahahaha, Santa Barbara isn’t the “wine country” Sonoma County is. Get it right.

Told me absolutely nothing from a winemaking aspect this is a total flop piece for tourism total waste of virtue signaling time
