The Napa Valley Education Foundation is proud to once again host Taste For Knowledge — the signature fundraising event that supports all of the public schools in the Napa Valley Unified School District. In celebration of the NVEF’s upcoming 25th anniversary, Taste For Knowledge will be held at the Silverado Resort for the first time. The entire community is invited to support our schools and enjoy an elegant evening.

The passing of Vincent DeDomenico, founder of the Napa Valley Wine Train, prompted many local leaders to look back in time to the days when DeDomenico came to the valley, when downtown Napa was moribund, rail travel seemed archaic and the impact of tourists on the local economy was less obvious.

Dear editor, Way to go Mahoney Vineyards!

Dear editor, Any parent who has lost a child for any reason will be up in arms when they read the Napa County deputy district attorney’s input regarding the possible reasons for putting Haley Wesley up for re-trial. I know I certainly was. We recently lost our adult son to cancer — not by leaving him in the back seat of our car. That compounds this mother’s grief and pain tenfold. It is not a very easy journey to be on, be assured.
