Vineyard Owner Pelosi Defends ‘Joe Sixpack’ Against the Rich With Their ‘Champagne Glasses Clinking’

House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, who together with her husband owns a vineyard in the Napa Valley, went to the House floor on Wednesday to condemn the Republican majority for working against the interests of a person she called “Joe Sixpack” in order to cut taxes for “wealthy families” swigging champagne.....

The Los Angeles Times published story on Nov. 6, 2015 that carried this headline: “Nancy Pelosi's vineyard makes her fourth-richest Californian in Congress”

This is how the Times described the vineyard and its estate when Pelosi visits it:

“It can be an odd thing having Nancy Pelosi as your next-door neighbor.

“Especially when the House minority leader and her husband open up their bucolic Northern California estate and vineyard on the banks of the Napa River to the likes of Google’s Eric Schmidt, wealthy environmental activist Tom Steyer and Gov. Jerry Brown.

“‘When all the black SUVs are circling around the property — like planes gathering over O'Hare Airport — that is when you know they are here,’ Susanna Kelham, who owns a winery next to the Pelosi property in St. Helena, told the Los Angeles Times.

“That was the scene last year when Pelosi hosted a dinner at the couple's sprawling estate and vineyard about 65 miles north of Pelosi's San Francisco district to close out a two-day conference in the wine country for political heavyweights.”
