If you're from the area, or been here long enough, you know we've got great wine. We've got some of the best wine in the world, in my opinion, but not many people know that outside of our region. The wine industry knows, but most of the would does not. Well, CNN just published a story that may help change all of that.

The article focused on how great the area is for wine growing and making, and how we're the new upcoming wine country.

It's cool to see that we're getting national attention, but I hope that doesn't mean people will be flocking to come here. OR maybe that's a good thing. More money for local businesses and money from tourism.
