Five thousand more acres of vineyards are proposed in California despite "grape glut" and falling wine prices. 70,000 acres land may be placed in conservation easements. "Plans for the largest single vineyard planting ever undertaken on the North Coast have resurfaced, targeting 5,000 acres in the coastal foothills of Sonoma and Mendocino counties... The proposal is the latest version of a vineyard cultivation plan conceived four years ago that called for grapes to be planted on 10,000 acres in the same remote area between Annapolis in Sonoma County and Point Arena in Mendocino County."
