The hard cider movement is happening. Craft ciders (and ales) are the hottest categories in the beverage industry and are some of the hardest products to keep in stock for their elegance and unique wine-like personalities.

Crisp and dry, this vintage blend of apple, pear and quince drinks like its label, a wonderful avant-garde kaleidoscope of flavors. "The pungent, heady, dusky perfume of pear, the earthy succulence of apple, and the ethereal suggestion of young pineapple quince" all collide on the palate.
(Randall Grahm of Bonny Doon Vineyards and California Syrah pioneer.)
Perfect for the upcoming autumn weather, Querry is refined and has moderate alcohol content making it a great aperitif. Quite versatile, you can even enjoy it with charcuterie, Asian food, seafood, and poultry.
By the way, Querry happens to be naturally gluten-free, a wonderful alternative to beer, and a fantastic complement to your wine repertoire. The apples are hand picked from Watsonville California orchards, the pears come from Lake County and the quince from Oregon. A lot of thought, a lot of flavor, this trend is here to stay. Enjoy!

California
The largest domestic wine growing region in the United States is by far California. California wines took international recognition in the 1976 competition known as "The Judgement Of Paris." In this famous blind tasting, California wines were put up against the best wines of Burgundy and Bordeaux - and won.
Today, California wines are among some of the finest made throughout the world. For California red wines, grapes such as Cabernet Sauvignon, Pinot Noir, Zinfandel, Merlot and Syrah are among the most popular. California "meritages" have also become quite popular. These red "blends" commonly use the classic Bordeaux varietals such as Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Cabernet Franc, though many winemakers blend with other varietals. For California white wines, grapes such as Chardonnay and Sauvignon Blanc are the most popular - as they are throughout the rest of the wine world. Whether red or white wine, the most popular wine AVA's (American Viticultural Areas) in California are the wine subregions of Napa Valley, Russian River Valley and Sonoma.
California wines are often referred to as "New World" wines (as opposed to "Old World"). New World wines tend to be fruit forward and have new oak barrel influence, while Old World wines tend to be more mineral driven and have less oak influence. Today, there is an emerging trend among California wineamakers to use less oak influence in their wines allowing the grapes' characteristics to better express themselves.
