Russian River Valley: A Jewel Within the Illustrious California Wine Country
Rarely does a name say it all, but in the case of the Russian River Valley it is true. The area was settled by Russians from around 1812 to 1840 to hunt sea otters for their fur, and expand agriculture and viticulture to supply the Russian colonies in Alaska. Settlers from other wine producing countries migrated to this vibrant area and by 1876 over 500,000 gallons of wine was produced from about 7,000 vines.
