Apparently, a lot of nefarious things can happen to grapes when they're trucked across the border of Calif.

well, when you notice that Napa Valley spills over the hill into Solano and that Napa Valley Vintners are using grapes from Solano to stretch their blends and that non-grandfathered wineries are required to use no less than 75% of Napa grapes in their production, it's no wonder that there is a high bishop of the vintners association on Montecito Rd, baptizing Solano grapes as Napa grown.
