Witch Creek Winery
Named for a creek in eastern San Diego County, Witch Creek Winery was started in 1993. Offering 24 handcrafted wines, Witch Creek also opens its doors for wine tastings. The label art is of note, since it features illustrations of cats, a witch's constant companion. The modestly named Dave's Pretty Good Red is a favorite and is described as being a Super Tuscan wine.
