Page "Lodi, California" Paragraph 1

Lodi is best known for being the center of wine production ( the " Zinfandel Capital of the World "), although its vintages have traditionally been less prestigious than those of Sonoma and Napa counties.

However, in recent years, the Lodi Appellation has become increasingly respected for its Zinfandel wine and other eclectic varietals.

National recognition came from the Creedence Clearwater Revival song " Lodi.

" Nearby Woodbridge is the home of the well known winery, Woodbridge by Robert Mondavi.

Mondavi grew up in Lodi, and Mondavi Winery is considered one of the most influential in the American wine industry.
