June 22nd - This Date in Wine History
/Wine has a long established history of being our drink of choice for celebrating, entertaining, and savoring life; but it didn't start out that way. From the invention of the barrel to the designation of the separate viticultural areas, wine has a long and sorted history. In our daily feature This Date In Wine History, we share an event of critical importance in wine history.
California's Diablo Grande AVA was designated in 1998. The viticultural area is wholly located within a gated community of the same name outside of Patterson, California.
