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.

  • “Wine, Women And Loud Happy Songs" (Larry Kingston) and recorded by Ringo Starr was released in 1970

  • Spain's Terra Alta DO was created in 1985

  • The Cirò DOC was created in 1989

  • It is the feast day of Saint Cadoc.  An Angel announced his birth and a well sprang from his baptism and flowed with wine and milk.

  • Happy California Wine Month!
