Did Corruption Sink Mondavi/Getty Pope Valley Project?
With one Napa County Official’s resignation over a shakedown behind them, the backers of a Pope Valley resort development have filed lawsuits against three members of the Napa County Board of Supervisors alleging improper, unethical and possibly illegal behavior over the the denial of the project’s use use permit. A member of Napa County’s legal defense team told Wine Industry Insight that, “The County vigorously disputes Luciana’s allegations, and maintains that the County’s action was proper and lawful in all respects.” The most recent development in this long-standing soap opera is the scheduling of a trustee sale to auction off Pope Valley’s historic Aetna Springs resort along with another 226 acres of the former Juliana Vineyards which had been slated for a golf course for other development. The sale has been set for 1:30 p.m., Dec. 23 on the steps of the Napa County courthouse. MONDAVI, GETTY, OTHER HEAVYWEIGHTS SAY COUNTY ACTED IMPROPERLY Developers William I. Cresswell and Robe
