LA? Wine country? Are you sure you're not thinking of San Francisco?

Many people consider the best California wines to come from Santa

How many people? Santa Barbara has some fine wines (I don't know about
the Simi Valley), but I suspect if you were to make the claim that the
*best* wines come from there, instead of the Alexander and Napa Valleys,
or Sonoma in front of the natives in those areas you'll have the natives
looking for some rope and a sturdy tree branch.

which is only ~60 miles nw of LA. And Simi Valley is known for
its wine.

But they're rarely called "wine country" by foreign tourists.
