AMERICAN WINE

New Year's Eve 2008 was when I was bitten by the Made in America bug and I decided to buy wines made in America instead of foreign countries. I always thought that French and Italian wines were the best, and maybe they are to a wine connoisseur, but to me, American wines are just as delicious and less expensive. Certain regions of the US are better than others, for instance California being the best, and perhaps, North Carolina not as good. I have a tendency to like wines from Oregon and Washington, as well as California. There certainly is no lack of choices in American wines. So next time you are in the market for a bottle of wine, think American.
