Our Wine Tasting Expert Says:
There's one winery in southern Louisiana that does in fact work with mostly the more well-known European varieties. You know, Cabernet Sauvignon, Shiraz, and Zinfandel. This is Pontchartrain Vineyards, founded in the early 90s by a wine enthusiast as good as they get. He set out to prove that Louisiana, which boasts one of North America's most distinctive cuisines, can also excel in winemaking. Did he succeed? It certainly seems so; check out the Criolla Rosso Reserve 1998, a Cabernet Sauvignon, or the Rouge Militaire 2002, a Norton Cynthiana.
From Pontchartrain Vineyards - Bush, Louisiana:
Pontchartrain Vineyards wines are produced with one specific purpose in mind: to provide distinctive regional wines to complement the extraordinary cuisine of Louisiana. They are available at fine restaurants and wine retailers throughout Louisiana.
