As the name implies, this competition celebrates only American produced wines while raising money for some fabulous local charities in the process. The wines for the event are selected by Co-founders Shari Gherman and Monty and Sara Preiser, all wine industry insiders who held the first AFWC event in 2007.

The Promiscuous Pinot Noir: the family tree of Austria?s red grapes

Rumor has is that one day, a long, long time ago, the ancient grapes Traminer and Pinot Meunier got together for some fun. Well, one thing led to another and they ended up crossing. Not long after, Pinot Noir showed up.
