A lot of Kosher wine is going on in the Napa Valley already, some of it 
made by names you know such as Korbel as well as more obviously Jewish 
operations like Hagafen [a familiar word to any kid who has said the

Royal Wine Corp.'s Herzog Wine Cellars Winery is moving to their own 
facility in Oxnard this year, having rented space in Santa Maria for the 
past five years.  The tasting room and kosher catering kitchen should be 
operating by the end of this year, with the first vintage ready by 2005.
