California Wines for Spring Entertaining

" "

Wines from the Golden State are perfect for casual spring get-togethers

With its sunny attitude, picture-perfect growing conditions, and talented winemakers, California is a one-stop shopping destination for world-class wines with approachable character. More than 100 grape varieties thrive in California's iconic regions, like Napa and Sonoma, and they're crafted into the state's impressive varietals. Think rich Chardonnays, smooth Pinot Noirs, and the king of California wines: Cabernet Sauvignon. This full-bodied red's delicate tannins and fruit-forward flavours (cassis, currant, cherry—take your pick) set it apart from any other in the world.

California's impressive, yet "down to earth" wines make perfect partners for a laid-back brunch or a casual spring dinner.  Looking for pairing inspiration? Keep things simple—and enjoy less time in the kitchen and more time with your guests—with our collection of easy one-pot recipes from Food & Drink.
