I found Mr. Hobbs wine web site and sent them an email. Boycott his wines.

A Faustian bargain?

It IS sad to see the wild and magical places disappearing and being replaced by the mono culture of vineyards. I suppose it could be argued (and it has) that this is better than building more...

Well, could've left a buffer of trees near the road but NO! After all there's value in that property and they had to squeeze every ounce of it out of it. Sad.

Shocking photos. I'm very pleased to read the reactions of my fellow Waccovians. Good on you, guys!
