Mostly wineries are pushed to produce extra grapes, but this time nothing happened and crop is expected to be produced either average or below.

California represents the bulk of nations wine grape supply producing more than domestic wine. Same price also exist in New York, the third in wine production behind California and Washington State.

Quick, what's America's biggest wine region? If you answered California's Napa Valley, you're way, way off thanks to a federal ruling that creates a new one.

It's the Upper Mississippi River Valley, covering a whopping 29,914 square miles (77,477 square kilometres) and encompassing portions of Minnesota, Wisconsin, Illinois and Iowa. That's 39 times the Napa Valley's puny 759 or so square miles (1,966 square kilometres). The new region is huge news for midwestern vintners.

"I'm really excited about it," says Paul Tabor, of Tabor Home Vineyards Winery about 40 miles south of Dubuque. "Wine enthusiasts really do look at the labels for an appellation and now we can use that as part of our marketing story."

American Viticulture Areas, or AVAs, recognize a unique grape-growing region that may be historically known and that contains specific geological features. The new region was created after area wine and agriculture officials petitioned the Alcohol Tobacco and Tax and Trade Bureau, which controls the designations.

Use of an AVA isn't a stamp of approval, but many consumers like the idea of buying wine from a specific area, following the French concept of "terroir" - that wine should reflect the character of the land it came from. Though the image of the Midwest might be wide, flat plains, the new AVA falls in an area that was largely skipped by Ice Age glaciers, so instead of being flat it has the steep slopes and well-drained soil required to grow premium grapes.

But there's no getting away from those really cold winters, meaning the familiar grapes of Europe - chardonnay, cabernet sauvignon - can't survive here. Wineries must either import juice or grow winter hardy grapes, many of them hybrids developed in France.

Ninety years ago, Iowa was sixth in grape production in the U.S., but that was with the Concord grape, associated with sweeter wines, not today's drier, more food-friendly wines. The region's wine industry re-emerged in the last decade, surprising some with medals in national competitions, Tabor says.

"Six or seven years ago I got phone calls and emails from California wineries - 'What are these wines of yours winning competitions? We didn't know you could grow grapes in Iowa."' Though the region is big, the wine industry there is small and growing. Tabor estimates there are about 50 wineries and maybe just 400 acres (162 hectares) of vineyards. The Napa Valley's way ahead there. Though only about 9 per cent of the area is planted in vines, that still amounts to 45,000 acres (18,211 hectares).

The new AVA knocks off former No. 1, the 26,000-square-mile (67,340-square-kilometre) Ohio River Valley AVA. Tabor and others say they had no intention of trying to be the biggest; that was just the region's natural contours.

Once the industry matures, they would like to see the same kind of thing that has happened in California, where smaller regions have petitioned to be recognized as distinctive. Napa Valley, for instance, includes 14 sub-appellations. Warren Johnson, one of the people who led the quest for a new AVA, isn't expecting the Upper Mississippi River Valley to become Napa's rival any time soon. But he's happy nonetheless. "It's a recognition of, 'Hey, we can go out and produce some good wines,"' he said. "The AVA designation should help put this region on the map."

In February, guests joined by the fireplace in the Presidio Clubhouse with more than a dozen wineries poured their products. Such wine charity events happen routinely, though with $17,000 raised, this was modest by Napa Valley principles.

Nearly every participant joined the event were either lived or made wine in San Francisco. Proceeds from the inaugural gathering of Wordup of Winemakers of the Richmond District and Upper Panhandle were destined for libraries west of Divisadero.

"I think we'll do it again," says Outer Richmond resident Mel Knox, who first made wine in 1980 and helped to organize the event.

In fact, San Francisco is now home to dozens of winemakers and winery owners - straight on up to Mayor Gavin Newsom. A new Wine Country has been found and it is San Francisco.

Inside between auto glass shops and warehouses, at least six wineries are making wine inside the city limits, three arrived in the past two years. Three winery tasting rooms are opened in the city, each pouring their labels.

A cultural shift among winemakers who increasingly acknowledge the sacrifice and spiral cost of living along the wines in Napa or Sonoma.

My home is San Francisco. I had no intention of moving out of San Francisco, so I did everything to bring the winery to myself, says Andrew Vingiello.
