California has earned its place among the world's most exciting wine regions. From powerful Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon to elegant Sonoma Pinot Noir and rich Chardonnay, the state produces wines with remarkably different personalities. The problem for European wine lovers has traditionally been availability. Finding an interesting bottle from a smaller California producer could mean visiting specialist merchants, accepting a very limited selection, or arranging complicated international shipping.
Fortunately, that situation has changed. If you want to buy California wine Europe, specialist importers such as Californian Wines make it possible to explore a much broader selection without ordering bottles individually from the United States.
