A recent trip to Carlsbad, California, brought everything together, including the happy surprise of a downtown winery/tasting room. Our visit to the Witch Creek Winery was exceptional! Some dear friends invited us to join them on a vacation in Carlsbad and even gifted us our own condo unit! We tried to express our appreciation by providing some fun wine tasting experiences out on the sunny commons. Before long, though, our wine inventory fell to an alarming level.

History of the House – Twin Inns – Carlsbad Landmark: In 1883 John A Frazier chose to settle in this area and named it Frazier’s Station. He dug a well for his water supply and later analysis of the deep (over 400 feet) well water showed it to be nearly identical to the water from a famous well, in Karlsbad, Bohemia.
