00:00:01.340 - 00:00:21.950

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. So this is this is what they're calling her. But well they go they go up along and here in other words stretch all the way from there down to here, from the country in which is another bone of contention, of words destroying the

00:00:21.960 - 00:00:38.360

visual effect of himself. And this is the correct, this is the great night, this is bread. And and they don't even show they show the real problem. They don't show the different roles that they have to and point out the fruit that proved wildly over here.

00:01:00.040 - 00:01:25.560

Mhm. Yeah. Trees over there, aren't they beautiful trees. In other words, we add trees on here. We have the beautiful oak trees here which are you can never replace. You know, sometimes we oppose change just because it's uncomfortable to see things change. Is that the case

00:01:25.560 - 00:01:42.150

here? Uh No, we're not. We're not. Well as president planned, I would say that they would actually destroy the use of our public park this area we're standing in. Yes. In other words, we call our control public park because uh organizations and clubs b B at

00:01:42.150 - 00:02:05.150

state national or international conventions, they attend 10 this area, enjoy the outing. People enjoy this here tremendously. Okay, okay. Another pregnancy. Is it just change itself that you're against Mr Mondale? Uh, no. Uh, the thing that we're concerned is a preservation of the quality of this

00:02:05.150 - 00:02:23.430

valley, which is something unique and we don't dare lose it. Is it this big construction that's changing it? What I would say this big construction is changing it and changing it drastically. Inasmuch that that the location is creating an extreme adverse environmental impact on the whole

00:02:23.430 - 00:02:38.800

community. Do you think that could be built if it were properly placed? Oh, it could be built another property place. I mean, I think that would get no adverse impact, or such a minimum impact, that there would be no objection. You'd support that kind of that

00:02:38.800 - 00:03:00.960

kind of change? Yes, I would mr Boone uh the charges made that you're proceeding here without regard for the traditional values of the napa valley. How do you respond to that charge? We're very much concerned with the tradition of the valley. And the new winery has

00:03:00.960 - 00:03:22.110

been planned from the beginning. With this in mind. When the company took over the Barrenger Winery in 1971, the Rhine House was in a very bad state of disrepair. The caves were unsafe, The original wine building was on the verge of collapsing. Ah The company has

00:03:22.110 - 00:03:46.500

put $300,000 into restoring the rain house. Uh it has put $350,000 into restoring the caves and restoring the original wine winery building. That certainly bespeaks of a company who is concerned with the with the tradition of the valley and and simply because Barrenger is now so

00:03:46.500 - 00:04:09.800

large, it's a little hard to answer that. It certainly appears that mr mugabe is opposed to our building a winery in Saint Helena at all. Uh What his motives are, I'm a little bit of loss to say leaving aside Mr Mondavi's objections for the moment is

00:04:09.800 - 00:04:34.860

bigness itself incompatible with premium quality table wines. No, the the one of the guiding principles in in designing the new winery is to design it in a way that is compatible with premium wines. The guiding principle in the marriage of winery is to produce premium wines.

00:04:35.240 - 00:05:41.150

We have we have increased the cost of construction of the new winery considerably to take this into account it's more expensive to do a good job, it's more expensive to do a good job. Mhm. Mhm. Yeah. Uh huh. Mhm Uh huh. Mhm, mm.

00:06:03.240 - 00:06:54.150

Uh huh. Mhm. Yeah, yeah, that's mhm, mm. Yeah. Mhm. Yeah. Yeah. Well done. Regardless of what happens in this dispute, change is going to come to the napa Valley a threatened surplus of grapes ensures that the question

00:06:54.150 - 00:07:50.610

is what kind of change, good or bad. I'll have that story in my next report. Bill Hillmann Eyewitness News in the napa Valley. Mm hmm. Yeah. From up here, it's easy to see why some people think the valley

00:07:50.610 - 00:08:05.650

should be given some special stature as a sort of park. That would give each of us a stake in the decisions that are being made. Change is inevitable in the napa Valley. But what kind of change? Bill Hillmann eyewitness news in the napa Valley.
