Lake County wine grape industry gaining identity despite economy
Dec 6, 2010 6
Over the past 20 years Lake County has worked to create its own identity and premium wine standing. There are now 32 wineries in the county and 8,400 acres of varietal wine grapes grown by 148 growers.
Imports and the U.S. recession have hammered U.S. wine sales, particularly premium and ultra premium wines. Premium varietal grape prices have suffered right along with the wine.
