I remember a few years back when folks were like ‘September is California Wine Month,’ I rolled my eyes and sort of smirked. Like, why would California need to have a month’s long celebration to promote its wines when they make the most wine and people overwhelmingly drink California wines. But then I got to thinking about how I’ve discovered so many smaller regions (like Santa Lucia Highlands or Livermore Valley) that turn out great wines, but don’t necessarily get the press that folks like Napa, Russian River, etc. get. So then I saw California Wine Month as an opportunity to showcase what other regions in the state are doing. One of those under the radar regions is the Knights Valley American Viticultural Area (“AVA”).
