Pinot Noir, Cabernet Sauvignon, Chardonnay, Merlot--these are all common varietals found in California. But what if the projected shift in climate makes it difficult to grow these cold-climate varieties? NPR has written this article, which considers the idea of a shift in viticultural approaches, including some new grape varietal additions to California. I find it especially appealing since one of my viticulture professors at UC Davis, Dr. Andy Walker, was featured and interviewed in this very news article. I encourage anyone interested to check it out!

Have you ever tried Barbera, Negroamaro, Nero d'Avola, or any other wines not commonly grown in California?
