Napa Valley Vintners (NVV) announces the next installment of the “Why Wine?” campaign, a movement dedicated to celebrating the authentic story of wine. With consumer preferences rapidly evolving and new competition emerging in the marketplace, the campaign focuses on uniting the industry to ensure wine remains an essential part of a modern, healthy lifestyle.  NVV launched the initiative in summer of 2024.

Industry members shared their personal stories and insights about what makes wine so special. These heartfelt videos are now available for viewing on YouTube at the Why Wine Video Playlist.

The California Department of Food and Agriculture’s preliminary 2022 grape crush figure, published February 10th, totalled 3,349,662 tons, slightly lighter than anticipated. The lightness of the crop – the fourth in succession below the 4-million-ton mark and the smallest since 2011 – was attributable to drought conditions, a severe frost, and ongoing vineyard removals, particularly in the Central Valley. Only Sonoma of the North Coast’s four crush districts registered an output reduction versus 2021, but approximately 130,000 fewer tons were harvested in the Central Coast and all but one district of the Interior – the Bakersfield area, up modestly – came in lighter.  Total Chardonnay tonnage was down 15.9% versus 2021 to 520,983 tons, so that Cabernet (-6.5% to 556,787 tons) became the largest variety harvested in the state for the first time ever. Of the largest varieties, Pinot Noir was next after Chardonnay in experiencing the biggest drop,

The California Department of Food and Agriculture’s preliminary 2021 crush figure, published February 10th, was in line with our pre-harvest projection at 3,613,009 tons. This represents a 6.1% increase from 2020’s small 3.4 million tons but is still below what would be considered a normal crop. The uptick versus the prior year was mainly due to larger crops than many expected in Lodi – which contributed over 100,000 more tons than the year before – and the Central Coast. The North Coast was a mixed picture (Napa and Sonoma were up, Lake and Mendocino down) while the southern Central Valley continued its downward tonnage trend over the past five years, likely due to lack of water.  The leading varietals by tonnage, Chardonnay (+14.5% to 616,536 tons) and Cabernet (+18.3% to 590,249), both saw gains versus 2020. Pinot Noir experienced the biggest uptick (+29.6% to 273,728 tons), with Monterey delivering its largest Pinot Noir crop ever. Of the major varietal
