• As a certified sommelier, I love visiting wineries across the United States.
• It may not be a surprise that California is on my list, but Michigan or New York might be.
• The Pacific Northwest states of Washington and Oregon have beautiful wine regions.

If you can't swing a trip to Italy or France, there are some amazing wineries in the US.
