At some point, serious wine lovers will have the same thought..."What if I quit my job and start a winery"? Some will dwell on it for years, some for only a few seconds, and then there are those like Michael and Charlie Havill who actually do it.
Still committed to growing and providing grapes to award-winning wineries, Bella Grace now has a fully-operation winemaking facility, including a custom-designed and engineered wine cave, built-in 2011, that houses the handcrafted current vintage – all aged in oak barrels. The wine cave serves as a focal point of the property with its 12-feet high wide barrel storage design.
Pam and James spend an afternoon with Jess Havill talking about the history of Bella Grace and Amador county, which is one of the oldest AVAs in California, and tasting his amazing wines. Find out about Big Bertha and her unique features in making a great Barbera wine!
Don’t miss the egg story sure to crack you up. Cheers

CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist
It’s 1996 in rural North Carolina, and an oddball crew makes history when they pull off America’s third largest cash heist. But it’s all downhill from there. Join host Johnny Knoxville as he unspools a wild and woolly tale about a group of regular ‘ol folks who risked it all for a chance at a better life. CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist answers the question: what would you do with 17.3 million dollars? The answer includes diamond rings, mansions, velvet Elvis paintings, plus a run for the border, murder-for-hire-plots, and FBI busts.
