The Los Angeles Times has published in their food section (Tuesday 9/05/07) a lenghty article on the charms of the Santa Ynez Valley and with a large photo of a couple picknicking at the Lafond Winery in which they say…
Lafond Winery and Vineyards is only about 20 miles away as the bird flies, on the south side of the Santa Rita Hills wine loop, but it feels like a world away. The vistas here are longer than they are on the eastern side of the county; here it feels less languid, more coastal and, yes, cooler (which is a good thing, since there’s not much shade). Lafond’s picnic area is dreamy — a field of grass rimmed with wildflowers that looks out over a drop down to the vineyards in a lovely valley.
The printed edition is more visual but you can read thr article and see a small photo galerry Los Angeles Times.
