UNEXPECTED GRAPES FROM UNEXPECTED PLACES: VENTURA COUNTY
“When the great wine regions of California are enumerated, Ventura is often missing from the list. It may be because they grow more strawberries than grapes in Ventura County. They actually grow more strawberries than anything else in Ventura County. But wine grapes don’t even make the top ten. Raspberries, celery, lemons, tomatoes, peppers, avocados and cabbage beat out grapes. Even plants grown for nurseries and cut flowers are in the top ten. But that doesn’t mean nobody cares about wine in Ventura County. Far from it.”
