Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 14:03:48 GMT

A Denver wine company that sells bottles labeled “Mom Juice” is raising capital to expand its product line.Kristin Taylor and Macie Mincey founded KT Winery in 2020 because they were tired of traditional wine culture. The duo decided they wanted a fun wine brand for women, by women.So they branded their wines Mom Juice, a reference to their “badass” mothers.“That’s the woman we’re surrounded by and that’s the woman we want to be,” Taylor said. “It’s not about moms being drunk. It’s giving women the space to have community and a wine they can trust.”Mom Juice comes in four varieties. The cabernet sauvignon, red blend, sauvignon blanc and rose all retail for roughly $20 a bottle.Taylor said the winery produced 900 cases of wine last year and will do 9,000 this year. She said 2022 revenue was $96,000 and the company is on track to more than quadruple that this year.She said the business plans to launch a low-alcohol wine in February and a single-serve product in the spring.

AMR Finds Familiar Faces

AMR Finds Familiar Faces: Underground house artist, producer and composer A.M.R. grew up around music from an early age.“My dad owned a studio in Qatar for recording bands and commercials and he himself was a passionate guitarist, so being around that space built a foundation for me,” he says. “But what started it all was discovering my first DAW (Digital Audio Workstation) through my uncle, who too was another musician in the family. He gave me his demo CD of FL Studio when I was a kid, and I’ve been producing ever since.  Things got more serious for me after releasing a few records and getting supported by world-star DJs, and from then I knew there was something worth pursuing.”Today, A.M.R. describes his sound as house music with classical undertones.“My early fascination with film scores greatly influenced my sound and as music technology and plugins advanced and became more accessible to producers, those classical influences found their way into my...

Stop signs needed at dangerous three-way intersection: Roadshow

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 14:03:48 GMT

Q: There’s a dangerous three-way intersection in the Foothill Crossing Shopping Center in Los Altos on Homestead Road. I’ve almost been hit there a few times.People don’t stop at the intersection, which is between two parking areas and many shops, so I’m not sure who is responsible for the signage. Three corners meet adjacent to the Red Pepper Bar and Grill, 2 B Fit, and the Trader Joe’s parking lots. Two have the word STOP painted on the road at the intersection, the third is not marked. Many people drive through this intersection without stopping.To make this a safe intersection, all three corners should have stop signs instead of just the word stop painted on the road in two places. Who should I contact about this issue?Thank you for writing a very practical and informative column and for all of the help that you provide.— Janet WarringtonA: Start with the Los Altos Public Works Department, Engineering.

Borenstein: The Oakland A’s haven’t announced they’re leaving, county officials bizarrely claim

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 14:03:48 GMT

In the latest bizarre twist of the Oakland A’s exodus from the Bay Area, Alameda County officials claim that the team has not yet announced its plans to leave town.The determination allows the A’s to postpone payment on $45 million it owes taxpayers for the team’s purchase of the county’s half-interest in the Coliseum.The Coliseum is co-owned by the city and the county. County supervisors in 2019 agreed to sell the county’s share to the team for a sweetheart price of $85 million.The sale was a horrific deal the county never should have made. It undermined the city’s planning efforts by giving A’s billionaire owner John Fisher veto power over future development of the prime 120-acre property after the team moved out.Now county officials are adding insult to injury by once again coddling up to the team. At issue is whether the A’s are required under the sale terms to immediately make the three final payments.Amazingly, county supervisors never bothered to require that the team s...
