“We chose a vineyard in Templeton in the Paso AVA because we love the pioneering spirit of the wine industry in this area. For logistical reasons, we like the fact that it's almost exactly half way between LA and San Francisco. Also, Templeton is a quiet, unassuming little place. Nobody would suspect that world changing forces are at work here. By the time they realize, it will be too late. Enough about that, though.”
