Domestic wine regions that are not Napa, Sonoma

This WSJ article talks about interesting domestic wine regions that are NOT napa, sonoma, willamette valley.

@Sri, @Ryan, your midterm topic - Michigan - might very well become the next emerging wine region!

From this article, three new domestic regions are on the rise:

 --- Snake River Valley, Idaho Syrah dominates the dark, velvety 2016 Telaya Turas, which Kacey Montgomery serves at his Boise restaurant Juniper. “Idaho has similar soil and similar temperatures [to other Pacific Northwest areas], but there is an advantage to being a new, young wine-maker in a growing region,” he says, “a chance to be a little more daring.”

--- Old Mission Peninsula, Michigan The citrusy Black Star Farms 2016 Arcturos Dry Riesling is made with grapes grown near Lake Michigan’s eastern shore, which has long growing seasons with cool springs and warm falls. “Michigan makes compelling wines with soul,” says Keith Whitten, general manager at Chicago’s Daisies, which champions Great Lakes Basin wines.

--- Los Angeles County, California The 2016 Byron Blatty Agenda is a Syrah-Tannat blend offering red fruit and cocoa. L.A. restaurateur Matthew Kaner, who launched a Blatty tasting room inside his Atwater Village spot Good Measure, sees a big future in L.A. County wines. “Five to 10 years from now there will be many more vineyards on line, which will open up the scope,” he says.
