Remember you heard it here second: Idaho someday will
be the place to go for your merlot. And Montana for the next grands crus. As for Napa? Nada.
First word came in a report from the proceedings of
the National Academy of Sciences: within the next four decades, up to 73 percent
of the terrain suitable for wine-growing in the current major regions of
viticulture will be ruined by climate change. Or it may be just 19 percent of
these lands – in Spain, Italy, Southern France and California’s Central Valley
– that will wither in the sun. The models of predicting climate change do vary.
But one thing the National Academy is sure about is that, as lands are lost to
wine-growing in the U.S., other
areas to the north and east that are now too chilly for the grapes - Washington, Idaho, Montana - will become more vine-friendly.
