Catering only to local tastes, these grape growing regions maintain their own unique approaches to growing vines and making wine. From jungles to deserts, each climate shapes the taste of the wines, and frames the dimensions of the regional wine palate. Culture weighs in even more heavily, creating local preferences for sweet or fresh, softness or acidity. Local customs create occasions to gift and share bottles, pairing samba parties, elephant watching, coffee ceremonies. From the sugary reds of Lake Ziway, Ethiopia, to the elegance of Hua Hin Hills, Thailand, the robust tannins of Xinjiang, China, the soft bubbles of\u00a0Pinto Bandeira, Brazil, and the racing acidity of British Columbia, Canada… each region makes wine for its own\u00a0people – not for export.” READ THE ARTICLE<\/a><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_testimonial][et_pb_testimonial author=”All in la Familia ” job_title=”May 23, 2022″ company_name=”JancisRobinson.com” url=”https:\/\/www.jancisrobinson.com\/articles\/all-la-familia” url_new_window=”on” portrait_url=”https:\/\/arnicarowan.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/1498E703-DF5D-42BC-865B-976CDED4D981.webp” _builder_version=”4.17.3″ _module_preset=”default” link_option_url=”https:\/\/www.jancisrobinson.com\/articles\/all-la-familia” link_option_url_new_window=”on” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n “Every Sunday, <\/span>Fidencio<\/span> Flores and his grandfather Armando Zepeda drive a pickup truck over to the Longhorn coffee shop on Sagunto Street in Santa Ynez, a few hours north-west of Los Angeles, California.
