A great round up of this weeks wine news. What are you reading?

Our favorite.... the story about tiny, curated wine shops. We see them here in San Diego and really love them.

Here's a lovingly curated list of the wine news stories and other bits and bobs from the past week of online publishing that I think are worth your time.

What do you think about AB 1585?

What do you think about AB 1585?

The question on the table in Sacramento right now: should wine labeled "American" be made from American grapes?

Our friends at California Association of Winegrape Growers (CAWG) think the answer is yes โ€” and so do we.

Here's something most wine drinkers don't know: a bottle labeled "American" can legally contain up to 25% foreign wine.

California AB 1585 would change that โ€” requiring the label to mean what it says.

๐Ÿ‡ California farmers are suffering. Grapes are going unharvested, contracts canceled, vineyards removed.

๐Ÿ“ฆ At the same time, foreign bulk wine is entering the U.S. and being labeled "American."

๐Ÿท๏ธ AB 1585 closes that gap.

Not everyone in the industry agrees. And that's exactly why growers, vintners, and supporters need to speak up now โ€” before this bill goes to committee.

๐Ÿ—ณ๏ธ POLL: Should wine labeled "American" require 100% American grapes?

๐Ÿ‘ Yes โ€” labels should mean what they say
๐Ÿ‘Ž No โ€” flexibility is important
๐Ÿคท Not sure yet

French wine production is expected to rise 3% from last year's rain-hit season but fall 13% from the five-year average as a heatwave and drought in August and smaller vine area cut output in some key regions, the farm ministry said on Tuesday.
