Welcome to this week’s list of U.S. wineries experiencing the most love (or at least page views) from AWG wine lovers.
The Napa free tasting wineries remain in the top spot for the second week in a row and are joined by two other exceptional Napa wineries, Failla and Quintessa. Arizona’s ever-popular Caduceus Cellars stays at #3, and Illinois’ Danenberger Family Vineyards makes it three weeks in a row with a #4 showing. Sonoma is represented by Ram’s Gate Winery at #9.
Four regions make their debut on our top 10 list this week. A new winery review results in Nebraska’s Niobrara Valley Vineyards coming in at #2, and a new review for Long Island’s Sparkling Pointe earns it a place at #10. California’s popular Paso Robles region finally makes the list, and it’s no surprise that it’s represented by Tablas Creek Vineyard. Pennsylvania’s Wilson Vineyard, which saw a huge spike in interest in February (prior to our publishing of a weekly Top 10 list), takes the #8 spot.
