Napa Valley

Filed under: General, Wine — Erin @ 8:16 am

My tid bit for the day: Do you know why the Napa Valley in California is so successful in the production of the many varieties of quality wines that is produces each year? According to geologists there are 33 different types of soil (soil series) found in the valley. These 33 different soil series make up half of the 12 soil orders recognized in modern soil taxonomy. This means that in an area roughly 30 miles long and 5 miles wide half of the soil orders in the world can be found! Its no wonder the Napa Valley is considered America’s premier wine producing region!

The order of the scientific levels are: Order, Suborder, Great Group, Subgroup, Family, and Series
