A fight over plans to plant a vineyard in the mountains above Napa Valley is coming to a head, with the county set to cast a pivotal vote on a project that has been at the center of a battle over where grapes should be grown in the nation's premier wine-growing region. A Texas billionaire couple proposed the Walt Ranch vineyard a decade ago, but have been blocked by lawsuits and procedural appeals by opponents citing everything from impact on limited water resources to despoiling a pristine landscape. The latest issue centers on an argument that the vineyard would hurt efforts to combat climate change by removing 14,000 trees. Andri Tambunan for The Wall Street Journal.
