There was an article recently in the Los Angeles Times about wine grapes being grown up in Anza. That's near where I board my 5 horses, so I drove by one of the small vineyards. My sister-in-law has 10 acres of Merlot up in Napa and my husband used to be a wine broker, so I'm fairly familiar with vineyards. I love to see them in the autumn. The leaves turn brown and other colors. It's a quiet time for them. It was a dark and dreay, rainy day on Saturday, when I drove by this small vineyard. The problem with growing wine grapes in Anza is that they do get late frosts, which would severely damage the grapes on the vines. I guess time will tell whether or not Anza becomes another wine growing region in Southern California.
