IWP Ep76 George and John Jarvis - Vine Hill Santa Cruz Pioneer Winegrowers

IWP Ep76 George and John Jarvis - Vine Hill Santa Cruz Pioneer Winegrowers Today we’re talking about George and John Jarvis.  Pioneer winegrowers in the Vine Hill area of the Santa Cruz Mountains.  Their story is a good one and because we haven’t been in the Santa Cruz Mountains much for the historical episodes, there is some background info and other fun details, like 2 Charlies, the 3rd town in California and fires.  One thing about the Jarvis’s is that real exact details are lacking a little.  There is more conflicting info about them than most of our subjects.  None of it is make or break stuff, it’s a year here, some acreage there, a couple thousand gallons more or less.  Some of the archives of Santa Cruz County have been affected by fires and floods over the last 150 years.  Because they were early on in the Santa cruz Mountains, they speculated on land a lot, so they would buy and sell and have some repossessed before buying a portion back, things like that.  I tried to straighten it out the best I could.  It doesn’t affect the story at all.
