Napa Valley Register

The Napa Valley Register is a daily newspaper based in Napa, California, with its roots tracing back to August 10, 1863. Initially, it was named the Napa Valley Register, but by 1864, it shortened its name to the Napa Register, only to revert to its original title more than a century later. In its early days, the newspaper focused on a community that was primarily known for wheat farming rather than wine production, making it quite different from what readers see today. The Register served as a platform for various content, including gossip, stories, opinions, moral lessons, quotes, propaganda, entertainment, and, occasionally, serious news. It was one of the two leading newspapers in early Napa.

Before enrolling at Camille Creek, “I wasn't really the type of person that would make it on time or would just make it to school in general,” said the 18-year-old Montano Gonzalez.

Napans, have you been to Benicia lately? A Huffman and her partner moved to Benicia, which means that this mom and dad have been spending some time in this city along the Carquinez Strait — a place that before now I admit I rarely thought of or visited. But after hanging out with them on a bunch of different Saturdays and Sundays, Benicia surprised me. It turns out that Benicia has a little bit of everything. Benicia has a local bookstore, a ceramics workshop AND a paint-your-own-pottery place.

Author’s Note: The first section of this article originally appeared a while ago in my private wine newsletter, Vintage Experiences. The date that it originally appeared is below, but its connection to today is still valid. The gentleman was irate. He had every right to be. “Prices for California wine,” he said to me, “are far too high.” But his next statement was what got to me. “If they don't do something about prices, they’ll lose me and a lot of other buyers — and I mean it.
