What’s going on wine lovers? Welcome to Episode 24 of VinePair’s Wine 101 podcast. My name is Keith Beavers, and do we all like soup? I mean, it feels like there’s a real rift between people who do and don’t like soup.

While many producers had to concede to the frustrations of Prohibition, a few of the Napa vintners who survived continue to grow today. This history is loaded with a surprising amount of fur trapping and mountain men, and somehow gave way to the creation of the Valencia orange. Beavers takes listeners back to the beginning and traces the links between California missions and the first vineyards. Since then, Napa Valley’s wines have grown to even greater heights and secured a place for decades in the White House. The area first gained international fame in the 1976 Judgement of Paris, when an American wine won big in a blind tasting. In this week’s episode, VinePair tastings director Keith Beavers takes listeners all across the Napa Valley and the 16 additional American Viticultural Areas (AVAs) that are responsible for some of the United States’s finest wines. Today, the legacy of ingenuity, endurance, and passion continue at the historic winery in Napa Valley, with an acclaimed collection of unforgettable Cabernet Sauvignon wines. Our founder believed in a simple, honest premise: The best grapes make the best wine. Martini Winery has crafted world-class Cabernet Sauvignon from exceptional vineyards of Napa and Sonoma Counties. This episode of Wine 101 is sponsored by Louis M. Inspired by one of VinePair’s most popular site sections, the Wine 101 Podcast takes an educational, easy-to-digest look into the world of wine.
