    My wife and I simply love the Santa Barbara, Santa Ynez & Santa Maria valley wines and wine producers. We actually love it more than Sonoma and Napa since it is less crowded, less expensive, and far less arrogant. Paso Robles is right there with 3 Santa’s.

    Awesome video. I wish you had started your trip in San Diego and worked up. There’s a lot of vineyards in San Diego county and up through Temecula too.

    -- Radioactive Traces from the Fukushima Nuclear Disaster Found in California Wine
    Following the 2011 Fukushima nuclear power plant accident, radioactive waste leaked into surrounding areas and contaminated waters and food. Seven years later, traces of the disaster were found half a world away -- in California's wine.
    A group of French nuclear physicists tested 18 bottles of California's rosé and cabernet sauvignon produced in 2009 and onward and found that the wines produced after the disaster had increased levels of a man-made radioactive particle. Cabernet sauvignon, for example, had double the amount. [Tracking Japan's Tsunami Debris (Infographic)]
    The researchers used two methods to look for traces of a radioactive isotope called cesium-137. The first method was developed about 20 years ago and could detect the particles through the wine bottle, without destroying or opening it. Since the presence of cesium-137 prior to 1952 is impossible (it's a man-made isotope first released into the surroundings by nuclear testing in the mid-20th century), it has proven quite effective for detecting fraud in old vintage wines, according to the study.
    For a more accurate detection, the researchers destroyed the wines through heating and reducing them "to ashes," they wrote. They tested for the cesium-137 in those ashes.
    Though they did find increased levels of the radioactive waste, experts say there is nothing to worry about, according to The New York Times. There are no "health and safety concerns to California residents," the California Department of Public Health told the Times.
    The levels of radioactive toxins found in food and drinks outside of Japan is too low to be dangerous, according the World Health Organization.
    Even in Japan at the core of the meltdown, though over 100,000 people were evacuated from their homes, there have been no deaths or radiation sickness reported so far, according to the World Nuclear Association. Further, most bottles of wine made after 1952 do contain at least a little bit of this nuclear twist.

    California has some really nice wines, Napa is gold, but it suffers from over oaking specially in high priced Cab from Napa and the "buttery" Chardonnay from Santa Barbara, Pinot Noir also loose a lot of its character in warmer regions, Oregon PN is superior in many ways. Suavignon Blanc is straight bad.
    The real gems that shine in California are Zinfandel, Cab Franc, and Petite Sirah, from Livermore, Lodi and Clarksburg.

    Sad video. Have any of you actually been to Santa Barbara? I live in Santa Rosa and it’s the most beautiful place in the US. The wine is great in Sonoma, Kenwood, Santa Rosa, Napa, and Mendocino and it’s gorgeous here. I can’t say anything about Santa Barbara, but the “wine country” is really Sonoma County, Napa, and Mendocino, not Santa Barbara.

    This is a poor presentation about the California wine industry. The presentation glossed over California wines, and the presentation clearly shows it doesn't think much about the region. This video was a poor attempt to show LCBO wine industry reporting coverage, and nothing more. Watching this I thought I was watching a travel video marketing tool.

    • @PB-jk8bl

      Perhaps you should spend some time exploring there. Santa Barbara easily stands shoulder to shoulder with Sonoma. I have lived and worked in both areas, and they are equally great!
