Locals call it the  “Big O” — aka Orfila VIneyards and Winery,  gently nestled in the beautiful San Pasqual Valley near Escondido in northern San Diego County.  Whenever I’m in the area,  I love to stop in and visit  Orfila Vineyards and Winery.   I’ve been a wine club member here on and off for over 10 years for a good reason.  The wines are constantly improving and, my palette is ever evolving.
