I just got it because Californian wine is famous. Did you really have to watch a movie to get it?

Well he said he did, so yes. And I'd hardly call California wine "famous." Napa Valley is really the only part "famous" for wine, and I imagine if wine doesn't interest you, it's not a fact you'd come across too often.

About 90% of wine produced in the United States is produced in California. If California were its own country, it would rank 4th in the world.

Furthermore, California wines have often been judged superior to French wines in blind taste tastes, most famously the Judgment of Paris.
