WINE REGION:
![Outline of California](https://images.firstleaf.com/taxons/1819/normal/California.png?1616010998)
California
California is one of the most diverse winegrowing regions in the world. Spanning 850 miles along North America's west coast—and inland across mountains and valleys—California's American Viticultural Areas (AVAs) cover a dizzying array of terroir. The cold, deep waters of the Pacific Ocean play a major role in cooling California's vineyards, sending fog and chilly air up to 100 miles inland. This tempers the daytime heat and allows grapes to ripen slowly but fully. Cooler-climate grape varieties thrive closest to the sea, while further inland, bigger, bolder wines prevail.

Savory characteristics and spice govern the flavor profile of this blend. Aromas of oak, maple bacon, and cedar invite you to your first sip. Next, a bit of fresh fig and cranberry flavors before white pepper brings the focus back to spice on the finish.

Cassiday Blare
The Prohibition Era was an interesting time made all the more captivating by men like George Cassiday. Supplying most of the occupants of Capitol Hill with their “liquid pleasures,” Cassiday cast a wide light on the archaic law by writing a series of articles published by the Washington Post in 1930 about his illegal ventures. Not long after, the law was overturned, and for all of us at Cassiday Blare, we tip our hat to you, sir!
