In 1995, Gino Filippi of the Joseph Filippi Winery was successful in establishing the 'Cucamonga Valley' as an official American Viticultural Appellation (AVA) through the US Department of Treasury.
During its glory days in the mid-1940s, Cucamonga Valley was the largest winemaking area in the state with more than 60 wineries and 35,000 acres of vineyards.
And the zinfandel grapes, that grew so well in Cucamonga's sandy soil and warm climate, were favorites of home winemakers, who were permitted to make up to 200 gallons of wine for personal use.
