Posted: Friday, February 22, 2013 12:00 am | Updated: 1:39 pm, Tue Feb 26, 2013.

Despite some strongly worded protests by three neighbors, Oak Farm Vineyards got the green light to expand its winery on a private portion of DeVries Road.

The San Joaquin County Planning Commission voted 4-1 Thursday night to allow Oak Farm Vineyards to expand its use. Commissioner Larry Hamilton, who represents the Lodi area on the Planning Commission, cast the lone dissenting vote.
