One of our SJC250 Committee members is a local winemaker from the Juaneño Band of Mission Indians, Chris Lobo. His wine brand, Native Hands, has been growing in popularity and Chris has been recently honored with an article in Wine Enthusiast linked below.
“I’m excited to share a newly published article that features Native Hands Wines. It is a true honor to be acknowledged as one of the nation’s very few Indigenous wine producers, particularly by such a reputable publication.”
