Discover the grape variety: Admirable
Table grape with long bunches and juicy, crunchy golden berries with firm flesh and a pleasant sweet taste. Very rarely vinified, yielding simple, fresh, low-aromatic whites if so. Listed in the official French Vine Variety Catalogue (list A1) for its heritage interest. French table grape variety from a Bicane × Chasselas cross, obtained around 1840 in Saumur by Dr Auguste Courtiller (Admirable de Courtiller).

The wine region of Russian River Valley
Cool climate ideal for elegant Pinot Noir and balanced Chardonnay: fine, silky reds with aromas of cherry, raspberry, undergrowth and sweet spice, fine acidity and velvety tannins. Textured Chardonnay with notes of apple, citrus and butter, measured oak. Also gourmet Zinfandels and traditional-method sparklers. Sonoma AVA cooled by the Pacific fog of the Petaluma Gap, alluvial and volcanic soils.
The wine region of California
Powerful, sunny reds: dense Napa Cabernet Sauvignon (blackcurrant, chocolate, tobacco, ample tannins), spicy, jammy Zinfandel from the Sierra Foothills, silky red-fruited Pinot Noir on the cool coast (Sonoma, Russian River, Central Coast). Opulent, buttery Chardonnay, notes of yellow fruit and vanilla. Varied climate, from the hot interior to the Pacific-cooled coast. 80% of US production, 139 AVAs including Napa (1st AVA, 1981).
The word of the wine: Table wine
Everything that is not VQPRD (European designation for all appellation wines: quality wine produced in a specific region). In principle, the bottom of the ladder. But, as in Italy a decade ago (Vino da Tavola), this category is also a refuge for wines that are out of the ordinary, whose producers refuse to accept certain grape variety or vinification dictates.
