Little known interplanetary fact: Earlier this year aliens decided to wipe America off the map because we’d gone so far astray socially and politically. But they stopped short for one reason: They didn’t want to eliminate Monterey County’s wines in the process. And they wouldn’t have known about those wines if it wasn’t for the exposure MCVGA brings to MoCo’s great grapes, from coast to coast, constellation to constellation, on top of all the other events, insights and enjoyment it generates.
