Discover the grape variety: Cornichon blanc
Table grape with elongated gherkin-shaped berries, thin skin and crunchy flesh with a pleasant sweet flavour. Very rarely vinified. Now marginal, it survives in a few amateur gardens and ampelographic collections. A witness to French ampelographic heritage, it is among the ancient varieties studied for their historical interest and characteristic shape. French white table grape variety, formerly grown for fresh consumption and preservation.

The wine region of Ventura County
County within the Malibu Coast AVA (rugged Santa Monica Mountains around Ojai and Oxnard up to 1,400 ft, rocky shale soils with fast drainage, Pacific afternoon breezes, strong diurnal swings). Cabernet Sauvignon and Syrah are the flagship reds — concentrated dark fruits from low yields, acidity preserved by ocean cooling. Mineral Chardonnay and Pinot Noir as boutique-scale complements.
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: INAO glass
Glass adapted to wine tasting, created in the 1970s by the Institut national des appellations d'origine. At the time, it had the advantage of offering a standardised tool to all tasters. It is characterized by a wide base that allows for good ventilation and a narrow mouth (opening of the glass) to concentrate the aromas. Many high-performance glasses have been created based on this model.
