Walnut Grove, Calif.—Ramping up efforts to build consumer awareness of the Clarksburg American Viticultural Area, the Clarksburg Wine Growers & Vintners Association (CWGVA) will hold its first consumer wine tasting event in April. The association is encouraging more members to produce Clarksburg appellation-designated wines and to sell grapes to wineries that will list Clarksburg on their labels. The annual Clarksburg Grape Day held March 3 featured ideas and plans to promote the AVA. Organized by the CWGVA and the Sacramento County office of the University of California Cooperative Extension, Grape Day speakers reviewed grape market trends.
