Issue: July 14, 2016
Morning, readers!
Anyone else like wine as much as we do? If so, you're in luck. This
week, we bring you our annual Farm to Table Issue dedicated to the
winemakers among us. We chose five locals who turn grapes into delicious
beverages. (Actually, one of them doesn't even use grapes!) And we also
put together a list of Butte County wineries so you can embark on your
own agri-tour this summer.
In other news: A local group of activists comes together to protest the
transportation by rail--through Butte County--of crude oil; sweeping
changes are afoot at Chico State; we aim to back to the root of Black
Lives Matter; and Arts Devo is unleashed on Austin, Texas.
There's more. There's always more.
Be careful while seeking those Pokemon out there!
