On the other hand, some signals can indicate good times ahead, whether that be a friendly server, complimentary bread service, or a stellar wine list. But what makes for a standout wine program? Rather than scanning dozens of pages in a binder-sized menu, wine professionals can typically determine the quality of a list by singling out one specific section or bottle.

Native to southwest France, the grape eventually made its way to California where it earned the moniker “Napa Gamay.” During Prohibition, it gained popularity on the black market for its high yields, big berries, and tolerance to powdery mildew.

Germany is most famous for its Rieslings, dry and sweet, but did you know that Germany also produces some world-class Pinot Noirs? The grape is the country’s most planted red variety, and Germany is the world’s third-largest producer of Pinot Noir. If you look at the map, almost all of Germany’s winegrowing regions are in the southwest, bordering or not far from France, and most are near the Rhine River or its tributaries, which give the vineyards their heart and soul.
