Arid
climate and blazing sun? Never mind. Nevada wines are on their
way...
The University
of Nevadas College of Agriculture, Biotechnology and Natural
Resources have been testing different wine grapes to find the
best varieties suited the desert climate. Some have adapted better
than others, but promising results have so far been seen with
Cabernet Franc, White Riesling, Pinot Noir, Chardonnay and others.
Above, the
Pahrump Valley Winery in Pahrump, Nevada.
Pahrump
Valley Winery
- Is it crazy - or brilliant - opening a winery in the Mohave
Desert? You decide - with a complete description of their red,
white, blush and sherry wines plus more on their tours, gift shop
and restaurant, contact info, map and directions.
Tahoe
Ridge Vineyards and Winery - Quite a good selection of wines here and they ship to everywhere
but New Hampshire. Each wine description includes a food pairing suggestion - nice touch.
Churchhill
Vineyards - Estate wines in the high desert are proving to be a very good idea. Many of
the offerings from this Nevada winery are sold out. From the tasting details they provide, you
can understand what the fuss is all about.
Fermenting
on the Farm - An archived news feature from the Lahonton
Valley News profiling a former Mendocino grape grower trying his
hand at a Nevada vineyard in the Fallon area. Stay tuned...
