Napa Valley vineyard prices hit $100,000 an acre

Article Abstract:

Prime vineyard land in the Napa Valley region has reached record price levels, with some parcels selling for $100,000 an acre. The simple rule of supply and demand is to blame, as consumer demand for fine Napa Valley wines rises. Deals can still be found, however, especially for undeveloped land in subappellations of the area.
