EDITOR,

Austin Twohig’s wine column, headlined on the Press-Banner’s March 18 front page as “A local winery ditches its Roudon-Smith label...,” led readers astray with the inaccurate intimation that Roudon-Smith wines had vanished. That’s simply not the case.

My bride-to-be does not get to proofread my column before I submit it to the paper.

Hopefully, our county supervisor, Mark Stone, will not approve the construction of the new La Bahia hotel in Santa Cruz. At least, not as it is presently planned, with its projected height to be four stories and blocking the ocean views of the residents on Beach Hill. The hotel could have been built by now, but the developers will not budge from their insistence that the height be well over zoning regulations. They say that they must have that fourth story for two large and, we must assume, very expensive penthouses. The new La Bahia will not be just a hotel. It will be a four-star hotel. Meaning that it's not going to be a place where the grandkids can stay and be close to the Boardwalk.

EDITOR,
