This week’s episode is part 2 of my California Wine Region Series! Today I am covering Los Angeles County, my home and birthplace. Who knew Los Angeles County was considered a major wine region? But did you know it is made up of 6 AVAs? That’s how big LA county is. LA is also big on natural and organic ingredients, which means that they are popular for organic wines and kick-starting an orange wine fad. But honestly, I wanted to focus on the actual winery experience and where winemakers grow their wines in a location as big as LA. I will be focusing on the west and east sides of LA county: Malibu and Antelope Valley. I cover a brief history of how they became AVAs, their climate that makes it perfect to grow grapes, and I end off the episode with specific underrated wineries recommendations for your next LA funday. This episode is perfect if you live in LA County and are curious to try wines from places other than wine bars to get the true vineyard experience without driving out too far (because let’s be real, LA is full of wine bars and wine shops without the authentic winery vibe).
