    Daniel Thompson, Reporter|Mar 21, 2013

    Kimball’s County Commissioners approved a motion to pursue more information on the establishment of a visitors center after hearing a presentation from Tourism Director Jo Caskey. The location currently being considered by Caskey is the old Burger King building that currently sits by the Interstate. “This building is excellent there. The infrastructure is in place.

    The 2010 growing season in Tuscany was marred by heavy rains in the early months. But folks at the Castiglioni estates claim perfect September conditions saved the harvest. One result: their Tenuta Frescobaldi di Castiglioni. The blend of Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot, with a touch of Cabernet Franc and Sangiovese thrown in, yields brisk berries on the nose, deepened by dark cherry, the soft hue of rose petals and just a trace of pepper.
