The amount of money the Wine Conglomerates have will ensure this project is killed.
If there is a lack of water, I wonder why the vineyards keep getting larger and larger?

What's wrong with that? many Mexicans have made those 2-5 day walks to reach the tunnels going under the border into the US.

They even stole the logo. I guess the "P" stands for plagiarized

Pellagio is ultimate Valle de Guadalupe hotel experience. Make your luxury hotel reservations at the home of the famous dancing fountains,
award-winning fine dinning
