“In the beginning of the twentieth century, Contra Costa County was largely planted with vineyards, but during prohibition, most of the land was converted to orchard fruit and now to tract housing and tomato farms. The hot days and cool evenings combined with sandy soils and a high water table, make it a fantastic grape growing region.” -LB
