United States
Wine production in what is now the United States began with European settlers in the 1500s.
The first widespread European-style vineyards were established in New Mexico in 1628, where Spanish missionaries planted Vitis vinifera grapes.
Today, wine production is undertaken in all fifty states.
84% of all US wine is produced in California.
The United States is the fourth-largest wine producing country in the world.

In 2016, the Tesseron family became the owners of the former property of the actor Robin Williams.
The actor christened the vineyard with the middle names of his children “PYM” and “RAE”. Due to this touching story and in respect to the previous owners, the Tesserons have chosen to continue this name.
The vineyard had to be planted with Bordeaux varieties, the same that the family had experience with at Pontet-Canet.
“The focus each year is on producing one wine, a singular expression of the vineyard and that vintage. And true to these characteristics, the wines reflect that both in their consistencies but also in their differences. And it is exciting to pick up on these subtleties from year to year.”
