Wente Vineyards
Корените на Wente винаги са били здраво стъпили в семейството на трудолюбиви фермери. През 1883 г. Карл Х. Венте, германски имигрант, купува 48 акра лозя в долината Ливърмор, Калифорния, и започва да строи винарна. През 1912 г. Ърнест Уенте, второ поколение, убеждава своя баща и основател Карл Х. Уенте да внесе в долината Ливърмор резници Шардоне от известния лозов разсадник F. Richter Nursery в Монпелие, Франция. Ърнест подбира ръчно лозите, които показват най-добро здраве и изразени вкусови качества, присажда ги заедно и разпространява тези характеристики напред. Резултатът е наречен сполучливо "Клон Венте", който днес представлява над 75% от всички насаждения Шардоне в Калифорния! Днес Wente Vineyards е най-дългогодишната семейна винарна в Съединените щати, която се управлява непрекъснато. Карл Д. Уенте, пето поколение лозар, продължава да развива Клона Уенте чрез семейното наследство на Шардоне с четири различни стила: Шардоне Morning Fog, Шардоне Riva Ranch, Шардоне Small Lot Eric's и Шардоне Nth Degree. Непрекъснато се стремим към съвършенство във винопроизводството, като съчетаваме традиционни и новаторски винарски практики и притежаваме истинска любов към пътуването.

California
California is the largest and most important wine region in the USA, stretching over an impressive ten degrees of latitude, which inevitably offers a variety of climatic and microclimatic conditions, and with the addition of diverse relief - mountains, valleys, plains, and plateaus, it becomes clear that there is indeed an astonishing selection of terroirs here; the state's winemaking history dates back to the 18th century when settlers and missionaries made their way to the western coast, however, California wines gained worldwide fame only in the last few decades - especially after the Paris Judgment of 1976, when in a blind tasting, California representatives won unconditionally against the French in both white and red wines; today, California hosts some of the largest wine companies in the world, as well as some boutique wineries with cult and expensive wines, sought after by connoisseurs and collectors; the main varieties grown in California are Cabernet Sauvignon and Chardonnay, but recently wines from Pinot Noir, Merlot, and Syrah have also been successfully established; perhaps the most distinctive and terroir-expressive variety in California (and in the USA as a whole) is Zinfandel (Primitivo in Italy), which has found excellent conditions for development here; the cooler and northern regions, closer to the Atlantic coast (Sonoma), are more suitable for cooling Pinot Noir and Chardonnay, while further inland - Napa - is home to the most famous red wines in California based on Cabernet Sauvignon.

Riesling
Riesling is an aromatic white grape variety that produces wine in the entire range - from botrytized sweet (one of the best in the world) to dry and semi-dry varieties, with captivating aromas of citrus and stone fruits, as well as the typical petroleum aroma, which in certain terroir appearances can dominate sensitively. Riesling's homeland can be said to be the valleys of the Rhine and Moselle rivers in Germany - the variety likes cooler weather. Naturally, here are the main wine regions of the country (Moselle, Rheinhessen, Rheingau, Pfalz). The vineyards are located on the steep hills, making mechanisation difficult, so here the viticultural activities are mainly manual. The wines from these regions are fresh and with a pronounced acidity. However, Riesling in Germany is by no means the main variety, in fact another is the wine region in which this variety is most common - and this is Alsace in France (or Elsaß in German). Unlike the German Riesling, the French Riesling is more saturated and lush due to the specifics of the microclimate there - the Vosges Mountains provide protection from northern winds and cold, and the sun is more generous in this southern region. Outside of these countries, perhaps Austria also presents itself with an interesting reading of this often called king of white varieties, and some countries of the New World successful experiment with it as well.
