Calling all Geezers: What WERE Virginia Dare Wines (NY State?)?

[musegirl]

Actually, the Virginia Dare Winery was owned by Garrett's but was located in Rancho Cucamonga, CA. It's just down the street from my house and I am currently writing a historical preservation thesis on it. It used to be such a gorgeous building, like a California mission. It eventually bought out the local IVC winery and claimed to be the largest vineyard in the world at 5,000 acres.
