Gov_2010CAWineMonthCelebrate California’s Signature Beverage with Dozens of Consumer Events Across the State

SACRAMENTO, Calif. — To help celebrate September 2010 as California Wine Month, proclaimed by Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger for the sixth consecutive year, many of the Golden State’s wineries, winegrape growers and regional associations are hosting special consumer events surrounding the state’s signature beverage.

“California has long been known for our production of superior, award-winning wines,” said Governor Schwarzenegger in his proclamation.  “The Judgment of Paris in 1976 brought California wine to the world stage and established our wine producers as respected masters of their craft. This month is dedicated to celebrating our rich history of wine-making and the bright future of this important industry.”  For a copy of the proclamation, go to: www.discovercaliforniawine.com/learn/governors-proclamation.
