Winery owners ashamed by oak tree cull

A billionaire couple lambasted for removing a swathe of oak trees at their Paso Robles vineyard have apologised stating that they are “ashamed and sorry” for their actions. Estate Vineyards LLC, a holding company which is managed by Justin Vineyards in Paso Robles and is a subsidiary of the multinational Wonderful Company, cut down hundreds of oak trees earlier this month to make room for more grapes on its 742-acre Sleepy Farm Road estate.
