He wants his daughter to take over the business but says napa countys permitting process makes it hard to get their wine in front of the consumer. Currently the regulations favor big business. You are encouraged to go big or go home in napa. And its creating an environment where small vineyard owners like us, we dont have a chance. Reporter as it stands, the current winery definition ordnance prohibits the build of a tasting room unless its connected to a winery. We have to construct a production facility. A minimum cost of 5 million. No way it makes any sense. I welcome big business. I welcome small business. I feel like there is enough room in napa for every. I just wish that the regulations in napa supported that. Reporter no tasting rooms, no sales on site means fewer chances to get their wine out there. With this in mind, they joined save the family farms. A group of small farm ownerswants to add a resolution to help these microwineries find a pathway to tasting in the county and survival among the large wineries in town.

Soon the Christmas Decorations here will come down, so what is next in the corridors of capitol hill . Article one is adopted. Reporter the president now stand impeached, but the path forward sun clear. And while a looming and if uncertain trial his opponents are also a bit stuck. As we face this trial in the senate, if the president claims that he is so innocent, then why doesnt he hathe president s men testify . And that vote will play out over the next several weeks. Reporter but when . A number of democrats seeking the partys nomination are sitting u. S. Senators. And they will have to take part in a senate trial. That will force them off the campaign trail. And they are not the only ones waiting with baited breath on this. The constitution is pretty vague about how impeachments are carried out. But the chief justice has to preside but it will be almost impossible to ignore them when this becomes his venue. During the clinton impeachment, chief Justice William right hand quest presided. I think what he can expect is a largely scripted trial. That is going to be run by the senate leadership. Reporter but President Trump is just the third person to ever go through this process. So that script may be written as we go along. In washington Doug Luzader Fox news. Time now is 7 38.

To give independence to those people that are either blind or visually impaired. And we do that through the use of a well Trained Service dog. Reporter but achieving that goal is a lot of work. Guide work is the most complicated of service work. It takes the best of the best. Reporter it involves volunteer puppy raisers like Cordelia Wolf who teaches the dogs basic housemanners and exposes them to real life scenarios. We follow the protocols in terms of what she can be exposed to. She has been on the ferry. Shes been on the smart train. Reporter and then comes the real guide dog training. Which takes several months. And his trainer jeff gray explains it requires cooperation. Not just from the dog. Its a team work process. Where the dog is there to guide them around obstacles, but its the individual handler that is leading the team and giving the directions and knowing where they are going to be going. Reporter guide dogs for the blind breeds about 900 puppies every year, but only a third of the dog and handler teams graduate. Needing and getting to know and being a part of this has completely changed my life. Reporter graduate mary says all the work is worth it to have her threeyearold black lab shiloh.

As it stands, the current winery definition ordnance prohibits the building of a tasting room in an agricultural zone like this unless its connected to a winery. Wed have to construct a production facility. A minimum cost of 5 million. No way it makes any sense. I welcome big business. I welcome small business.

It started when a Patrol Officer tried to make a traffic stop but the driver refused to pull over. Instead there was a three mile chase to interstate five that driver led police on. The driver stopped his car and crashed into the river to try to get away. The West SacramentoPolice Department used its boat to get to the man. He was arrested and could face several charges. Oakland police set up a new Safe Exchange zone. This area is for people buying or selling items through social media. People are dealing with strangers so they need a safe place for their transactions. Whether you are buying a bike, selling your cell phone, or taking part in a child custody exchange.

The officer is okay and is back home with his family. The owner of an east bay hair salon says she is amazed no one was hurt when a car ran into the salon. Right here is when it slams over the curb and into the salon. The salon was filled with customers. I literally saw the car hit the curb, go airborne, and go right through the window. We have two people in the lobby when it happened. And they went absolutely flying. One woman just had a hip replacement. Its amazing she was able to get out of the way. The back wall of the salon stopped the car will from going into the area. Witnesses say the driver of the car was an older man and he wasnt hurt, but they say he looked really confused when he got out of the car. The cause of the crash is still under investigation.

President trump and First Lady Melania Trump attended a Christmas Eve mass at a church in west palm beach. The Service Included singing carols and reading scripture. Afterwards the family attended a dinner at the country club. And the Christmas Holiday may offer a bit of a break from the impeachment debate. But as doug luzader explains, some key players have Big Decisions to make on the path forward. Reporter soon the Christmas Decorations here will come down, so what is next in the corridors of capitol hill . Article one is adopted. Reporter the president may now stand impeached, but the path forward for congress is unclear. While a looming, if Uncertain Senate trial is unnerving for the president , his potential 2020 opponents are also a bit stuck in as we face this trial in the senate, if the president claims that he is so innocent, than why doesnt he have all the president s men testify . And that vote will play out over the next several weeks. Reporter but when . A number of democrats seeking their partys nomination are sitting u. S. Senators and they would have to take part in a senate trial. That would force them off the campaign trail just as they should be gearing up for early nominating contests. And they are not the only ones waiting with baited breath. It does say that the chief justice has to preside over the senate trial. People need to know that we are not doing politics. Reporter john roberts may like to steer clear of politics, but it may be impossible to ignore him when it becomes his venue. I think what he can expect is a largely scripted trial that is going to be run by the senate leadership. Reporter but President Trump is the third person to go through this process. So this script may be listed as we go along. 8 37 now. It started out pretty rainy and wet this morning. Had the windshield wipers going. And thunder in the background. Rosemary orozco is here to tell us about all of that clear out of the way. So people can get outside. Yes. Even seeing sunshine. It will be a cool one.

It goes until tomorrow morning for sneaker waves as well as rip currents. So be careful if you plan on going for a run or taking the dog for a walk. Heres a look at Storm Tracker two.
