Its hard to believe the link to the article below was written back on December 15, 2013. Our dream to plant a vineyard and open a winery seemed so far away. Although we still have some hurdles to jump we are getting there. We are currently waiting for Public Works and County to respond stating all items they have requested have been completed.
