September is California Wine Month, but truth be told, Jilly’s Coastal Social celebrates all year long!
Fun Facts!
Did you know? The first vineyards in California were planted by Spanish missionaries in 1769? These early vines, known as "Mission grapes," laid the foundation for what would become a thriving California industry.
Economic Impact: The California wine industry contributes an estimated $57.6 billion annually to the state's economy and $114 billion to the U.S. economy.
Zinfandel's Home: While often associated with Italy, Zinfandel's true origins were traced back to Croatia. However, California has become this grape's adopted home, producing some of the world's best Zinfandel wines.
