From the Associated Press: NAPA — "A Napa food and wine museum founded
by the late vintner Robert Mondavi is shutting its doors while it seeks
more cash to continue operating. Copia chief executive Garry McGuire
blamed the current credit crisis for the closure announced [Nov. 24].
The nonprofit, also known as the American Center for Wine, Food and the
Arts, has lost $4 million annually since opening in 2001. In September,
Copia laid off 24 of its 80 full-time employees and cut back its hours
as it sought to turn around its ailing finances. The $78 million
facility shut without notice [Nov. 21].
