  • 5 Up-And-Coming California Wine Regions on Our Radar
    5 up-and-coming California wine regions on our radar Bob Ecker, Special for USA TODAY 1:01 p.m. EST December 12, 2013 When we think of American wine, we think of the state of California. After all, over 90% of wine produced in this country comes from the Golden State. Bob Ecker When we think of American wine, we think of the state of California. After all, over 90% of wine produced in this country comes from the Golden State. Famous wine regions like Napa Valley, Sonoma and Santa Barbara County are wildly popular for travelers, but a number of up-and- coming California wine regions are producing stellar grapes – and wines worth seeking out. Below are some of the up and comers that should be on your California wine radar. Lake County Bordered by the famous wine regions of Napa (and Mt. St. Helena) directly south, Sonoma to the southwest and Mendocino to the west, Lake County today produces quite a few fine wines in its own right. Carved out of Napa County in 1861, the area combines a few small towns, a hardy landscape, relatively high elevations, pear orchards and a multitude of vineyards. Visitors will be pleased to find high-quality wines (from approximately 35 wineries) without crowds, traffic or high prices. Vintners in Lake County have learned that their volcanic soils, hot days and mild nights, elevation, cool breezes from the Pacific and a strong will to produce high-quality wines are helping their region prosper. Big wines such as Cabernet Sauvignon, Syrah and Petite Sirah do well here as well as delicious Sauvignon Blancs.

It lies ~800 feet off shore of the Sulphur Bank Rancheria, present-day home to the Elem Indian Colony. The island contains 6 recorded archaeological sites ranging in age from ~5,000 years old to the recent historic period. The largest of the 6 recorded sites is CA-LAK-89/H, which represents the ethno-historic village of Elem. All 6 sites contain prehistoric artifacts and features and many contain historic materials that represent the Mexican period (1834-1849), Overseas Chinese period (1850-1900), and recent historical events that have shaped the Elem people. Rattlesnake Island is recognized by the Elem Community of Southeastern Pomo as their place of origin as well as their political and religious center. At the time of the most recent archaeological and historical inspection (1978-81) the cultural sites on the island retained integrity with many original rock alignments and house depressions noted. Rock and brick foundations were found with associated historic cultural materials. The fact that the district is located on an island, coupled with its close proximity to the contemporary mainland location of the Elem Indian Colony have served Looking east at Rattlesnake Island, present Elem to protect the cultural resources it community is on mainland closest to the island.
