Have you heard of this wine?

[Auburnwine]

"The wine made here is the most celebrated in the country, on account of its peculiar, rich flavor, being some twenty per cent above Los Angeles wine in saccharine matter."

"Cucamonga" by John Quincy Adams Warren.
The American Stock Journal, (July, 1861).

[I guess y'all missed Warren's wine column in the American Stock Journal. "Saccharine matter" -- a term I will henceforth use in wine notes.]

There are still wineries there. Joseph Filippi, for example.
