Dear Friends of the Crow and Bear:
As most of you are aware, Crow and Bear Vineyards and Winery has been for sale since last May. Yesterday we closed escrow, a bittersweet culmination to our four-years' wine-growing enterprise. Our first crop (from harvest 2016) is turning into beautiful wine at Pallet Wines in Medford. We have found a lovely home on a hill with a view, only 14 miles from here.
Susan Lowry has purchased Crow and Bear, which will be operated by her son Noah. They have decided to rebrand the place. So sometime soon, expect an announcement of the grand opening.
The very best thing we have enjoyed during our wine-growing adventure has been meeting wonderful people. That is what we will miss the most. Thank you for your support; thank you for your friendship. And as soon as they're released, come enjoy a glass wine vinted at Pallet by Linda Donovan from our estate Crow and Bear grapes.
But don't wait until then—come sooner, meet the Lowrys, and cheer them on as they take the reins. We hope you will show them the same loving support that you have shown us for the past four years.
With gratitude,
Spanokopitas and Spanokopitae

Well said and well done, Spano!

"Initial notes of continued fail, then bitterness on the palette, followed by a harsh dose of being taking by the seller."Best wishes to the new owners!

Nice farewell Spano. Good luck with your future endeavors. You were an example to all who wish they had the balls to do something big and important in their lives.

I'll probably try to cash in on my machining skills. I've designed a suppressor that is somewhat different than any I've seen. Once I get my tax stamp (which should be soon since they cashed my check) I'll build a prototype and test it on the 300BK I'm building. If it works well enough I'll form another LLC and market them wholesale to dealers. This will of course require another Government license. But, having run a winery and tasting room I'm no stranger to Government red tape. Other than that I still own half a publishing Company in Ca. and the wife still has her editing/book design business. Other than that I guess I'll just sit in the hot tub, enjoy the panoramic view, and watch the clouds drift by. Job one now is getting the house and machine shop moved.

A little birdie told me safariman wants an order of 10,000 supppressors. He will pay you in full when he sells the uberlanche or his big payday arrives.
