He said Copia might lease back part of the building from the new owner, or find a new location in Napa Valley, and that in any case, it would establish a second food and wine centre in tourist-magnet San Francisco, with high hopes for a nationwide chain of such outlets.

[Opinion/commentary from www.napavalleyregister.com] Copia: A success in failure? | Napa Valley Register: Sure it had exhibits such as the Ira Yaeger retrospective which deserved to be seen by those who care about art, but its real appeal were the events, none of which are replicated at the wineries in the Valley: the concerts, the flicks, the cooking classes and author presentations, the symposia and conferences, the wine tastings by region or variety (the last one held brought together wineries making vino from traditionally spanish grapes like Albarino.)

[Opinion/letters To The Editor from www.napavalleyregister.com] New plan unveiled for Napa Pipe | Napa Valley Register: Many, many people, whom I'm see on our tours, and meet every day at the Boon Fly, at Gilwoods, at the ABC (you see, I get hungry reading all these blogs) just think that it would be good to have a different kind of neighborhood - oops, I'll stop myself and won't use any of my usual adjectives, or even any nouns beyond that to describe it, since every single one seems to produce more sarcasm, which you mean, I'm sure, with well-intentioned humor but sort of shuts down the dialogue. So, I'll stop here, and suggest that you consider, one-day, checking your well-earned, worldly-wise cynicism at the door, and pay me a visit on a site tour at Napa Pipe, a public meeting at the County, or over coffee at the Boon Fly.
