KENDALL JACKSON RUFFLING THE LOCALS
Kendall-Jackson has once again made plans for a wine grape processing facility in rural Knights Valley after an earlier version met with neighborhood resistance, according to the Press-Democrat.
Last week the wine giant issued a scaled-down proposal to build a larger boutique winery and tasting room in Knights Valley after failing to gain acceptance from locals over a year ago.
K-J has agreed to move the winery up the hill and away from the road, but continues with their plan to erect a tasting room (1,000 sq. ft. and open to the public). The tasting room will likely remain the community’s biggest objection since they pride themselves on maintaining an agricultural and rural neighborhood.
A community meeting will be held next month to further discuss the proposal.
On a side note, Jess Jackson was awarded “Man of the Year” by Wine Enthusiast Magazine. Congratulations!
