"A decade-old brand that sources fruit from LA County vineyards, Byron Blatty Wines has opened its first tasting room at 5122 York Boulevard in Highland Park; owner Mark Byron Blatty says they’re currently working with fruit from the Antelope Valley, Sierra Pelona Valley (Agua Dulce area), the Malibu coast, and occasionally Bel Air, noting, “When you make LA wine it’s a lot of patchwork and small lots.”" - Cathy Chaplin
