"The timing couldn't have been better. This afternoon, during a meeting convened at Rutherford Grange to tell vintners and growers how to protect their solar panels, Napa Deputy Sheriff John Thompson reported that the department had nabbed three thieves this morning. The men triggered an alarm installed just two weeks ago at Honig Vineyards; this is the third known attempted solar theft at the Rutherford winery. Deputies were there in 4 minutes, according to Sheriff Doug Koford, and with canine assistance, they followed the perpetrator's path to nearby Silverado Trail. One of the suspects was captured in a car near Rutherford Grill, and the others were found suspiciously walking along Silverado Trail early in the morning. All three have criminal records and are in custody for attempted theft. At least one suspect was talking to investigators, sources said. He was allegedly on methamphetamines, as are the other suspected thieves." Wines and Vines Where will we find those killer recipes in the future? "After nearly 70 years of fine eating, the lavish meal known as Gourmet magazine is over. Conde Nast blamed the tough economic climate Monday when it told its staff it was closing the stalwart of the food media world, long considered the dean of culinary publishing. "It's the center of gravity, a major planet that's just disappearing," said chef and author Anthony Bourdain, who said Gourmet was the first food publication to give him a chance as a writer. "There's been a lot of speculation about this happening, but I'm still stunned." newsday.com etcThe Holidays are just around the corner. Let us help you plan your party.
