California is the leading wine producing state—making more than 90 percent of all U.S. wine—and also ranks first in wine consumption. Californians enjoy nearly one in five (18 percent) of the bottles consumed in the United States. If California were a nation, it would be the fourth leading wine-producing country in the world behind France, Italy and Spain. With this great culture of wine, there is significant interest in all aspects of the grape. Specialists from Alta Vista Insurance Agency are very knowledgeable in protecting California’s vineyards with California Winery Insurance.  We understand the wine making process and that being adequately covered is very important. The wine industry is a multi-billion dollar industry, and without understanding its complex process, how can wineries be successful? It’s times like these where we can respect the wine industry and celebrate it with fine events such as this one:

    On Sunday, February 26th, The 9th Annual Coeur de Cuisine will be an evening "Gourmet Gala'" featuring cuisine and wine pairings from leading restaurants and wineries throughout North San Diego and the San Diego region. From 5 p.m.-8 p.m., up to 40 renowned local chefs will be preparing and presenting their signature dishes along with San Diego Wineries and Selected Purveyors of Spirits and Beer. This event is taking place at the California Center for the Arts in Escondido.

    According to the North County Times, proceeds from the evening will benefit charities supported by the Escondido Rotary Foundation. This upscale black tie social event of the mid-winter season in North San Diego County is limited to 500 guests. The event typically raises about $100,000 to support community and vocational projects and student scholarships.
