In 1849, the Concord grape was first cultivated in Concord, MA by Ephraim Wales Bull. His ultimate goal was to create a grape that could withstand cold climates of the Northeast. Using the “fox” grape that was native to the area, he planted 22,000 seedlings in order to study them and watch them grow. Six years later, he found one of the vines he had originally planted, and named the “Concord Grape” after his hometown, and the town

Escaped slaves during and before the Civil War often needed guidance on their trek throughout America to get to the far north, so they created folksongs that had subliminal messages to help others on their way. Follow The Drinking Gourd was a common folksong that informed the escapees to follow the end of the Big Dipper to reach Polaris, or the Northern Star. While the phrase, “drinking gourd,” is also referring to the hollowed out fruit slaves would drink from, it became an Underground Railroad icon that led many people to freedom.
Ferrari Carano Vineyards and Winery is apart of Napa and Sonoma County. It is located along the San Pablo Bay. It is best known for its cool temperatures with the occasional sea breeze. Usually this breeze will come through during growing season so people can smell the grapes all over the counties. These cooler temperatures are great when the winery is trying to grow their Chardonnay grapes. This is because it allows the grapes to mature more slowly. Therefore, it has plenty of time to become a very rich wine. If these types of grapes were grown in a warmer climate then they would have a lot more acid in them. There is a beautiful garden on the estate that a lot of people like to take tours
Compared to the industry as a whole, Mondavi is not responding to the changing marketplace and demands. While there has been some growth in the ultra and luxury premium market segments, the explosion in the last 15 years had been in the popular premium ($3-7 per bottle) and super-premium ($7-14) sector. Mondavi’s own Woodbridge offering is responsible for 76% of its case volume and 57% of its revenue as of 2001, but seemingly exists in isolation amidst all the high-end offerings from the company. Competitors that have established themselves in jug wine, beer, and other spirits are taking advantage of their sales volume and migrating upward. While E&J Gallo, Constellation, and the beer producers may not have the reputation for quality and craft that RMW possesses, their substantial financial weight has allowed them to develop or purchase brands that could compete in the higher altitudes and price segments. Meanwhile, competitors with similar histories in premium winemaking are taking advantage of lower production costs to horizontally integrate, acquire land, and build new wineries in different countries, as Kendall Jackson has done with the Villa Arceno (Italy) and Yangarra Park (Australia) wines.

The cocktail becoming the great American drink is no accident, as claimed by Kimball in her article. “Yo-ho-ho and a bottle of rum” had to lead somewhere, and colonists who were already naturally eager to drink as they had at home were bound to be the creative minds behind its invention. With wine difficult to obtain due to price and beer not subsisting in northern climates, the rigors and loneliness of life tended to foster a taste for spirits – something easily distilled and found in cookbooks on the shelf. Although rum had become thought of hostile, it was cheap and easily acquired. And no sooner do people get a taste for rum were they mixing it with other liquors and flavors. Thus the start of the earliest concepts of cocktails.
