Windsor

We had eventful weekends.

Ben, being the upstanding gentleman, he was the representative of the Sports Meets Beer crew at the Windsor Chili Cook-Off.

The what? Probably 9th annual, I think.

13th, I think.

Smash that like button right now.

We're laughing, but I'm not saying they won't do that.

Well, so the reason I love this event is because, to me, it epitomizes Windsor as a community.

In that, it's...

It's a long one today.

I had no idea what I was getting into when I started to research the civil trial of a former mayor of Windsor, California.

A jury decided he left a wake of traumatized women for just about two decades.

Then we're gonna cover a Florida man that believes he can do whatever he wants to do with his drone and no neighbor will stop him.

Born in nineteen eighty-two, Dominic grew up with three siblings in a wine country family in Sonoma.

Dominic's great-grandfather left Lombardy in Italy and immigrated to California in nineteen oh six.

Dominic's family estate sits off a two-lane road south of Windsor.

Now, after graduation from Cardinal Newman High in Santa Rosa, Dominic obtained a bachelor's degree in government from Dominican University in California, and then he completed his MBA at Sonoma State.

So we're going to go stay in the Russian River Valley, and we're going to go to another estate vineyard called our Lewis McGregor Estate Pinot Noir.

And it's right outside of Windsor on East Side Road.

And this is a part of the valley, what we call the middle reach, which is sort of the middle stretch of the Russian River Valley.

And so it sees fog intrusion.

Sand teamed up with another chemist, Tim Scully, who'd learned the craft from Owsley Stanley, the legendary underground chemist who supplied acid to the Grateful Dead.

In late 1968, the two of them set up a lab in a farmhouse in Windsor, California.

Within a few months, they'd pressed more than 3.5 million tablets.

John gave the new batch a name that would outlive all of them.
