"I followed the saga at House Family Vineyards in Saratoga, which faced neighbor complaints for hosting wine tastings without proper permits; the winery was granted a temporary compliance permit to allow appointment-only tastings while it works with the city to obtain the correct permits. Neighbors raised concerns about noise levels, traffic, and safety and appealed the temporary permit, but the Saratoga City Council rejected that appeal and allowed the family-owned winery to continue holding tastings under the temporary arrangement." - Dianne de Guzman
