{"title":"USA","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe main wine-growing region in the USA is California, which is famous for red wines from the Napa Valley. However, wine is also successfully produced in Washington, as well as in Texas and New York (Finger Lakes!). The versatility is immense, as is the quality. Famous labels such as Harlan, Screaming Eagle, or Opus One are highly sought after and expensive. On the California coast (Sonoma Coast), cool-climate wines are produced thanks to the maritime influence of the Pacific. One of our favorite wineries is Ridge Vineyards from Santa Cruz, which caused a stir at the 1976 Judgment of Paris with its \"Monte Bello.\" Even though the New World feels far away for us in Europe and the CO2 footprint from transport is very high, one should treat oneself to such wines every now and then because they are simply damn good and because, as wine lovers, we should also know what is happening on the other side of the world.\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"ridge-vineyards-chardonnay-estate-2020","title":"Ridge Vineyards - Chardonnay Estate 2022","description":"\u003cp\u003eA wonderful Chardonnay from this exceptional California winery. Its big brother, the \"Monte Bello,\" isn't actually that much bigger than this estate wine, which turns out to be less opulent than one might expect. In recent years, top Californian wines have all become very elegant and, as everywhere else, more \"Burgundian.\" Nevertheless, the fruit aromas are intense and representative of their origin. All other components are balanced and harmonious. The sheer drinking pleasure is just the icing on the cake, which is a consistent theme throughout this winery's entire portfolio.
