I believe CA many wineries survived due to certain loopholes in the Prohibition laws. Wine made for religious ceremonies and such as well as grape concentrate used for home winemaking (which was still allowed) allowed some wineries in CA to continue and have a purpose. Most of the home wine was from Zinfandel which is why those are the oldest vines in the state... they didn't get completely wiped out. We love the mountains too and may soon join you! Cheers!

Thanks for the history. Does anyone know why California's wine industry didn't tube during /after prohibition or why Georgia's didn't bounce back as quickly? My husband, Don, and I moved from downtown Atlanta almost fourteen years ago. We've seen the vineyards progress from grape growing and sales to winemaking and weddings. It's great being in the mountains! What a great review! …. and travel column. Thanks for the history.
