Meet Teri Kerns of Ramona Ranch – SD Voyager Interview

Today we’d like to introduce you to Teri Kerns.

Building our vineyards, winery and ranch from scratch started around the same time grapes began being planted again in the Ramona Valley, which was designated as a federally recognized American Viticulture Area (AVA) in 2006. Located in the San Diego foothills, we soon discovered what wine grapes grew well, and what we personally enjoy, like Sangiovese, Viognior and Tannat. (READ MORE)

Proposed San Diego County law could change the meaning of ‘local’ wine
