REMODEL – GETTING THE BAND BACK TOGETHER
SPRING-SUMMER 2014 #31
The most satisfying job of my contracting career was the 2nd (and final!) remodel on our house in Oakland in 1997. First off because I realized I would be able to enjoy the results of this project for years with my family by being able to live in it as opposed to the usual handing it over to clients upon completion.
And secondly because it was the best creative team of owner (essentially my wife, Jennifer) and architect (my father in law, Sandy Walker) that I had ever had the pleasure to work with.
Solar Powered and Sustainably Farmed Wines
The 2006 Napa Valley Summer Blend Chardonnay is the winery’s first release bearing the words “Solar Powered and Sustainably Farmed.” Wine Business reports that the winery, located in the Spring Mountain district of the Napa Valley, recently completed a solar power system on their property. The system will supply all of the winery’s power needs. When the winery’s reds are released in the fall they will carry the same “Solar Powered and Sustainably Farmed” phrase on the label.
