Aaron and Claire Pott have secured Napa County permission to build their Chateauneuf-du-Pott winery on the forested slopes of Mount Veeder despite a scattering of opposition.
The Planning Commission last week approved the 20,000-gallon-a-year winery. The planned 4,638-square-foot building at 2072 Mount Veeder Road will replace a house and barn that burned in the 2017 Nuns fire.
âI want to support small, family-owned wineries,â Commissioner Megan Dameron said. âIn this case, the Pott family lives on Mount Veeder. They have vines and farm on Mount Veeder. And now they wish to have their small family winery on Mount Veeder.â
The Potts talked about their winery plans.

The city of St. Helenaâs current water restrictions allow residential accounts 65 gallons of water per person a day, which amounts to a reduction of about 30-43%, while commercial users only must cut back by 10%. The approach in Lake County is âAll customers in the five water systems are being asked to voluntarily conserve water and reduce usage by 20%â and in Marin County âWe are asking all customers, residential and commercial, to save as much water as they can. Our collective goal is 40%.â Healdsburg residential customers were given a water budget of 74 gallons per person per day while their commercial customers must reduce usage by 40%.
