Class Three (4/5): California's Other Wines

Everyone knows California makes great Chardonnay and Cabernet Sauvignon, but what about the other 108 varieties planted in California? From Charbono to Nebbiolo and from Arneis to Verdejo, California is home to some of the most exciting wines and exotic varietals.

Zach Pace, a Texas native, discovered his passion for wine while living and working in New Orleans. Hurricane Katrina compelled him to seek the sunny shores of California, where he currently resides as a wine & spirits expert specializing in education, consulting, and restaurant operations. He is an Associate Instructor for the Wine & Spirit Education Trust and is studying for the WSET Diploma. When he's not obsessing over food and wine he enjoys traveling, reading history, photography, and Star Wars.
