Charles Krug Winery, St. Helena (No. 1)

The Charles Krug Winery is a winery founded by Charles Krug in 1861. It was named to the National Register of Historic Places on November 8, 1974.

Historically, Charles Krug introduced innovative ideas in California winemaking. He began making wine using a cider press for pressing, carefully selected rootstocks, varietals and vineyard sites. The knowledge he gained and shared benefited the young California wine industry. Following Krug's death, James Moffitt Sr. purchased the winery in 1894. In 1943, Robert Mondavi persuaded his parents, Cesare and Rosa Mondavi, to purchase the inactive winery from Moffitt for $75,000.

The winery remains owned by the family of Peter Mondavi, Robert's brother.

A Massachusetts district attorney said Friday that his office is investigating Florida's decision last year to send flights filled with migrants to Martha's Vineyard.

Cape & Islands District Attorney Robert Galibois also threw his support behind a group of public officials from California and Texas calling for a federal investigation into the flights.

"I am conscious of my obligation to investigate any potentially criminal activity that occurs within my jurisdiction," Galibois said in a statement. "[I] am aware that immigrants were tricked and fooled into boarding planes that ultimately landed in Martha's Vineyard, a part of my jurisdiction. I believe this falls within my purview as District Attorney to investigate. Given that much of the information that I seek to review as part of my investigation falls outside of my jurisdiction, I stand behind California and believe in order for a full and proper investigation to occur, the Department of Justice must be involved. I stand ready to cooperate with the Department of Justice."

Two planes filled with undocumented immigrants landed on Martha's Vineyard last September, leaving the island scrambling to prepare emergency shelters to help them.

The office of Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis said it was responsible for the flights, with a spokesperson saying that night they were "part of the state's relocation program to transport [undocumented immigrants] to sanctuary destinations."

DeSantis, who is running for the Republican presidential nomination in 2024, has touted the flights to Martha's Vineyard in his campaign speeches, falsely claiming island officials "deported them the next day." In reality, they were brought to an emergency shelter on Joint Base Cape Cod before alternative housing was arranged.

Galibois' announcement comes a day before DeSantis will be on Cape Cod for a fundraiser.

In a class action lawsuit, migrants said unidentified people working with DeSantis had been "trolling streets outside of a migrant shelter in Texas and other similar locales, pretending to be good Samaritans offering humanitarian assistance."

The migrants said those people made false promises that if they were willing to board airplanes to other states, they would receive employment, housing, educational opportunities and other assistance.

They also said they were told they would be flown to Boston or Washington, D.C., but were dropped off on Martha's Vineyard without food, water or shelter.

DeSantis' move was widely panned by Massachusetts lawmakers as a "cruel stunt."

"History does not look kindly on leaders who treat human beings like cargo, loading them up and sending them a thousand miles away without telling them their destination," Rep. Bill Keating, D-Massachusetts, said in a tweet.

Earlier this summer, Florida also sent flights filled with migrants to Sacramento. California Gov. Gavin Newsom and Attorney General Rob Bonta both likened the action to kidnapping.

In a letter earlier this month, Newsom and Bonta joined Sheriff Javier Salazar of Bexar County, Texas, to call on the U.S. Department of Justice "to investigate potential violations of federal law by those involved in this scheme."

Salazar's office announced last month that it had recommended criminal charges, including misdemeanor and felony counts of unlawful restraint. No suspects were named. The Sheriff had previously opened an investigation into the flights after saying the migrants were "lured." Charlie Baker, Massachusetts' Governor at the time, said he was supporting that investigation.

The Parent Trap (1998, Nancy Meyers)

27/12/2023

The Parent Trap is a 1998 Disney film starring Dennis Quaid, Natasha Richardson, and Lindsay Lohan in her first film appearance.

It is a remake of The Parent Trap (1961) with Hayley Mills and, like the original, is based on the German novel Lisa and Lottie (Das Doppelte Lottchen, 1949) by Erich Kästner.

Hallie Parker is a 12-year-old girl who grew up in Napa Valley, California, with her father, Nick Parker, a wealthy vineyard owner. Annie James, on the other hand, lives in London with her mother Elizabeth James, known as Lizzie, an established wedding dress designer. The two girls are actually twins, separated at birth immediately after the divorce of their parents who decided to each take custody of one of their daughters. Neither of them knows of the other's existence until, by coincidence, 12 years after their birth, they find themselves attending the same summer camp in Maine, both being surprised by their extraordinary physical resemblance.

Their plan, however, seems to collapse when Annie, as Hallie, learns that her father is about to marry a young woman, Meredith Blake, who, however, seems only interested in the man's money and intends to send Hallie to a boarding school immediately after the wedding. The girls, after being discovered about the role swap, mange to get their parents to meet and have dinner on a yacht; the following day they go on a trip to the mountains, where, as planned, Lizzie, Nick, Hallie and Annie were supposed to go. Back home, Nick prepares a candlelit dinner for Lizzie in his villa, but later the two decide to return to their previous lives by dividing the twins, but Annie and Lizzie, arriving home, find a surprise: Hallie and Nick arrived before them thanks to a concord that takes half the time.

Filming for the film took place from July 15, 1997 to December 17, 1997.
