SAN PASQUAL VALLEY, CALIF. -- Wine grown, bottled and produced in San Diego County has been honored by the oldest and most renowned international wine competition in France’s Bordeaux region.
San Diego, Calif. - A windfall of recent medals in national and international wine competitions, has shot Orfila Vineyards & Winery over the 1,000-medal mark. "When I came to San Diego's San Pasqual Valley in 1991, my winemaker colleagues in Napa Valley thought I had lost my mind," said winemaker Leon Santoro...
While Alejandro Orfila spent most of his life hobnobbing with heads of state in Europe, North America and Asia, his heart was never far from the wine country where he was born.
"Eisenhower was a great man who was crucial in winning the war, and yet, he was a normal man of few words. I don't care for spectacular people; I like people who seem normal, no matter what their position..."
