Today is an epicure’s holiday that we can stand behind: National Wine Day. Though wine may not be produced in all 50 states, grapes are certainly grown in all of them. These days you can find more atypical varietals in well-known regions, such as Caricante—a Sicilian grape—in the heart of California’s Central Coast.

We asked the experts at The Wine Advocate what grapes we should turn our attention to in America’s most celebrated wine regions. Here’s what you should put on your radar—and what you should be pouring this National Wine Day. 

“Pinot Meunier doesn’t often make it out of Champagne, and when it does, it doesn’t often produce anything but sparkling wines. However, there are a couple of great examples of Pinot Meunier from far-flung places making some compelling arguments for giving this grape a little more love and attention. The first great example I encountered when I was reviewing Australia was at Best’s Winery in the Grampians of Victoria. Here, there are plantings of this variety that go right back to 1867, from a nursery block of original James Busby clones. More recently, I stumbled upon a Pinot Meunier being made by Alquimista Cellars on Sonoma Mountain. It offers wonderfully floral, perfumed red berry flavors and evocative earthy layers with bags of finesse—absolutely worth seeking out.” — Lisa Perrotti-Brown
