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.


I'll take my chances with the lynch mobs -- I'd rather drink pinot noirs
from Brewer-Clifton and Melville than anything else I've tried from
California (except for zins like Turley and Ridge, which, of course,
have no European equivalents). But then I'm an ABCer, both red and
white.

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.


True, but this OP just might be one of those.


Maybe. Had he not already admitted he got confused.
