Telethon for Meals on Wheels
Napa County’s Meals on Wheels program is short $25,000 due to budget cuts, rising gas prices and the state budget fiasco even after the money raised from Hands Across the Valley.
Napa County’s Meals on Wheels program is short $25,000 due to budget cuts, rising gas prices and the state budget fiasco even after the money raised from Hands Across the Valley.
To help fill the gap, Dan Monez of Napa Valley TV came up with the idea for a telethon involving — for the first time — all local media.
There will be a live pledge telethon on Oct. 22 and Oct. 27, 6-9 p.m. The program will feature entertainment and local celebrities.
The telethon will be cablecast locally, streamed over the Internet via www.napavalleytv.org, and simulcast on KVON/KVYN.
If you want to donate to the event, contact Monez at 227-8434 or mokey32a1@aol.com.

Laird expanding
Laird Vineyards, a custom-crush facility just north of Napa, is expanding as demand continues to increase for custom winemaking services.
He intends to add a 30,000-square-foot wing to the existing winery. That would allow for processing another 1,500 tons of grapes a year and take total annual production for the facility to 300,000 cases.
He hopes to have the addition ready to accept fruit by harvest 2009.
What the World Eats

It features profiles of 25 families in 21 countries, telling what they eat as well as how they live.
Napa Wine
The second edition of Charles Sullivan’s monumental book, “Napa Wine: A History from Mission Days to Present,” has been released.
It extends his 1994 “Napa Wine: A History,” more than a decade.
