This year marks an important anniversary in the development of the California wine industry

It was forty years ago when our wines outperformed French vintages at a prestigious competition which came to be known as the Judgement of Paris.

A similar moment may soon be in store for the olive oil industry.

For years European countries have dominated the market, but recently California has been making serious headway.

Bloomberg Reporter Peter Robison recently wrote about this and discovered that this state has been involved in the olive oil industry for a long..long time.
