California Central Valley and Lodi AVA for WSET Level 4 (Diploma)

Back in California and this time we look in detail at the Central Valley and the rather more prestigious Lodi. So if you like your old vine Zinfandels this is for you. This is perfect to get the level of detail that will help pass your WSET Diploma D3 exams.
As always with my video series one or two will be shown here on RUclips. But if you want to see the rest of the USA series for now you will have to sign up to the D3 bundle on my portal.

Yayyy I grew up in Lodi!

I grow two clones of Sauvignon Blanc, Nero d'Avola, Barbera, cabernet Sauvignon, Fiano and Ribollia Gialla in the Clements Hills AVA. Our temperatures track St. Helena in Napa with 35 to 40 degree dineral temperatures in the growing season. What makes Lodi a great growing region is the research funded by the major wineries along with the Lodi grape growers commission
Due to said research we produce Sauvignon Blanc for an example with a pH of 3.02 at 23 brix.

What a fascinating insight - thank you!

You are generally great with your pronunciations, which is impressive given all the languages spoken in all the world’s wine producing countries. In that spirit, and me being an American, please know that the pronunciation of San Joaquin (@ minute 2:21) is not ‘San wackin’; the proper pronunciation is San Wah-KEEN. In all you nail these pronunciations, so I thought you might want to know! 🥂

Thanks so much for the pointer! Noted :)
