Growing grapes in the Antelope Valley?
A new AVA (American Viticultural Area) is being sought in Los Angeles County. This article here describes the petition for the Antelope Valley AVA.
You don’t know where the Antelope Valley is? When our local weatherman Dallas Raines (yes, he says this is his real name) mentions “the high desert” you’ve hit the target. Think Lancaster, Palmdale, Edwards Air Force Base … and the Mojave Desert is not too far away.
Hmmm…. you might be wondering … is it wise to be growing grapes in Antelope Valley?
