No corkscrew necessary, thanks to Stack Wines

As a reward for a long day of work, you open a bottle of wine and have a glass or two. The following night, a friend treats you to dinner. The next night, there’s an impromptu corporate happy hour. Days later, you’re dismayed to find that your wine isn’t fresh enough to finish.

Too familiar with this scenario? Similar instances prompted Matt Zimmer, a mechanical engineer who worked in the bottled water industry, to think outside the bottle. In 2011, he launched California-based Stack Wines with fellow University of California, Irvine M.B.A alumni Jodi Wynn and Doug Allan. The company created its signature stackable wines–sold as a pack of four individual glasses.

Encased in Stack’s patented vinoware, a sturdy plastic that prevents the wine from spoiling, the wines come in four varietals: charisma, pinot grigio, chardonnay and cabernet. Priced at $12.99 online, and found at retailers in California, each four-pack holds the same amount of wine (750 ml) as a traditional bottle.

The wines are ideal for picnics and barbecues, outdoor concerts or for those nights when you crave a glass and don’t want to commit to an entire bottle in one sitting.

A Wine Guide to Temecula, Southern California’s Wine Country

The Temecula wine country and a yellow hot air balloon.

When you think of California wine, your mind tends to send you to places like Napa, Sonoma, Santa Barbara, and Paso Robles. And while those are all great destinations for the curious imbiber, there's a substantial scene not too far from the major metro areas of Los Angeles and San Diego. It's called the Temecula Valley, and it's a warm-weather wine playground well worth a visit.

In short, the region is often compared to Tuscany in terms of climate. That said, you're likely to see lots of Italian influence in what's planted -- think Nebbiolo, Barbera, Sangiovese. Close to 50 wineries now occupy the valley, taking advantage of the Mediterranean climate. It's set about 20 miles from the Pacific Ocean and with a couple of significant gaps in the coastal mountains, there's a cooling effect that the resident vines adore, especially at night when the temperatures drop.

Read This Wine Lover’s Washington State Wine Guide

Red Mountain AVA in Washington state.

As the second-largest wine-producing state in the country, Washington has no shortage of options for the intrepid wine tourist. Many flock to well-known locales like Walla Walla or Woodinville, set just outside of Seattle. But there's much more to the Evergreen State when it comes to all things fermented grapes.

A total of 19 American Viticultural Areas (AVAs) dot the Washington map. It's a remarkably diverse wine state, from the wet Puget Sound to the west to the much drier Yakima Valley to the east. Down along the scenic Columbia River, there are stunning appellations like the Columbia Gorge and Horse Heaven Hills. Red Mountain also has to be on the list of esteemed growing areas, a high-desert stretch near Tri-Cities that's producing some of the state's most exciting wines at the moment.

The Most Influential Black Voices in Wine

Wine is not fair. Despite a diverse American population, only roughly 1 in every 1,000 winemakers in this country is Black. The percentages are a little better for the industry at large, but not by much. The wine tides are changing, thankfully, but there's much work to be done in the name of creating an inviting, diverse, and dynamic community.

The drinks industry is evolving and there are more and more Black voices entering the conversation. Wine has been particularly slow to shift, perhaps because it's always been so bound to tradition and has a history of elitism. Fortunately, it's shifting towards a younger, broader core audience, just ask boxed wine and Pinot Gris in a can. A major part of that shift involves having the wine scene actually reflect the landscape it inhabits.
