The Best Places For Wine In The USA (Other Than California)

Summary

Napa and Sonoma wines command premium prices (deservedly). North Coast and Central Coast wines are great everyday wines at much lower prices. A half dozen other California appellations today produce wines that compete well with Napa/Sonoma, with a shrinking price advantage as wine buyers become increasingly sophisticated. The Willamette Valley and Columbia River Valley regions are also becoming direct competitors with California wines, with significant discounts for most comparable Columbia River Valley labels.

Wine is grown across North America today. The best regions include the New York Finger Lakes, Lake Erie, Northern Michigan, Texas Hill Country and Northern Virginia. Canada’s British Columbian Okanagan Valley wines are becoming more competitive, and the Niagara ice wines fill a sweet niche.
