In these rich winelands almost every known variety of wine grape finds its ideal habitat, blessed by a sunny climate that permits perfect ripening - hence the saying, 'Every year is a vintage year in California.' There are dry dinner wines from north coastal regions, and sweeter appetizer and dessert wines from warm valleys inland and to the south. However, fine wines of all types, including Champagnes and other sparkling wines, are grown in each of the nine main wine districts shown."; "Since 1769, when Father Junipero Serra and the Franciscan padres first planted wine grapes at Mission San Diego, California has been noted as a land especially favored for wine growing. The next century saw vineyards spread rapidly, with European winemakers, attracted by the Gold Rush, contributing their age-old art and traditions. Great sailing ships soon carried the pleasure and fame of California wines around Cape Horn to the far ports of the earth. Today the Golden State produces over 80 percent of all wines consumed in America, and the wines of California are honored by connoisseurs throughout the world.") designed to promote the California wine industry and featuring art of the state of California and all the different regions where each wine is produced by Amado Gonzalez.
