Domestic Muscats - This sweet, luscious grape has been grown for table grapes and raisin production however we love it for its fine wine versatility and perhaps best of all for the terrific late harvest dessert wines of local origin. This is one of the oldest grape varietals in the world and therefore numerous countries, including Italy have their own special twist on producing wines from Muscat. Italian imigrants of past generations who migrated to California have contributed greatly to Californias rich, grape growing history. Their love for this varietal stemming from their historical familiarity with it combined with Central California's great growing conditions have lead to great successes and it is their legacy that should be applauded for its affect on our local industry.
