Excellent 3-part series, I learned a lot. It had me wondering if there was a list of dry-farmed vineyards in Paso Robles and I was googling around and found this one (http://www.caff.org/programs/sustainability/vineyards/) but I do not think it is complete. Do you know of a better source?

Nice photos! A little bird (or should I say swmiming fish?) told me about Weekend Hippie . . . I love the site. I always suspected a bit of the hippie was hanging out on the Hill in SummerLand. I am a locovore when possible and have Avos, Oranges, Tangirines, Apples, Lines, Lemons in the back and just shy of 100 sq. ft. of raised beds tucked in the side yard.
