Mike, all the L.A. Cetto photos above were taken in Tijuana... only the grapes come form Valle de Guadalupe and other Baja vineyard locations. We had
a great tour of the bottling facility during Viva Baja Cactus event, 2006: http://vivabaja.com/vivabajacactus

Nebbiolo
Tuesday night we gave a small benefit dinner in our home for the Salvation Army.
The co-president of the world's largest winery was here and Baja Vida and I served him both the LACetto Nebbiolo and the Monte Xanic Cabernet.
He made very nice comments about both (but then he is a very gracious man)
I doubt that he would appreciate seeing his endorsement in print, however, thus no names included in this post.

TJ is the LAST place i want to tour - for anything. 
i have been thru LA Cetto's ops at the guad location many times - plenty to see there and no bus fumes to inhale. plus they gave us all we could taste
- 15 types one sitting and didn't charge a cent. we could only buy 2 liters due to USA importation rules and apologized for that . told them we'd hit
the Wine Bank in SD tho to stock and that made them happy.
i have secured permission to land on their RW via a contact made here and BBP so am good to just fly down once it warms a bit more there. i want to
check out some of the other smaller batch plants.

it is (was?) a retail store in down town SD we used to shop at. i may have the name wrong. it was either bank or vault and i think the bldg might have
been an old bank. 2 floors basement and main. lots of guad valle wines.
i am thinking El Gato Loco turned me on to it??
when i was working in bonita we'd go there 2001 - 2004.
i went to the new Bevmo in SDL today, $.05 five cent sale!! spent way too much.......i better start chugging.
bye now.

I would avoid TJ also, I do highly recomend you visit Tijuana though, as that is were the Cetto Family lives and set up their business

Do they sell LA Cetto wines? Where are some places in San Diego that sell them?

I personally have not seen Cetto in Bevmore.
I will suggest 2 to call that might:
Vintage Wines on Miramar Rd.
Wine Bank on 5th Ave.
Or go to Romesco restaurant in Bonita and have a fabulous dinner and choose from the longest list of Baja wines I have seen in the US.
This is an extraordinary restaurant! Owned by the same people that own Savario's and other restaurants in Tijuana.

Thanks for checking. Excellent wine store just the same, especially if you like Zinfandels.

For the most part, I have found L.A. Cetto wines to be run-of-the-mill. Not an outstanding wine in the lot. They are well priced, though.
The REALLY good wines from Valle de Guadalupe (Monte Xanic Cabernet Sauvignon y Merlot is one of my favorites) are way overpriced for what they offer.
