'Redding's little Cheers bar.' Wine down at Grape Escape
The Grape Escape wine bar in downtown Redding is the type of casual hangout where new customers aren’t strangers for long. Owners Adam Browning and Kayla Hatch have created a welcoming atmosphere for wine lovers since they took over the business in May 2020 at the corner of South and Pine streets. Nicknamed The Grape, it’s an award-winning community bar and spot to have some food to go along with glasses of full-bodied cabernet sauvignon, a crisp pinot grigio and more drink choices. “A lot of people come in and say it's kind of like Redding's little Cheers bar,” Browning said. “It's just a place where you're greeted at the door (with), ‘Hey, how you doing?’ Maybe a hug and a handshake. And pretty much by the time you leave here, you're going to know somebody,” he added. “Come as strangers, leave as friends,” is how Hatch describes the experience. The couple say they get a lot of travelers, many of whom say they plan to return the next time they’re in town. “They’re like, ‘We gotta come back in here,’” Browning said. The Grape offers regional wines The Grape is only open three evenings a week — Thursday, Friday

Painting of Noble Castle, also known as Noble Bungalow
When I first came across this whimsical folk-art painting of the curiously shaped “castle” in the Collection, I had to know more about it. What I thought would be simple research about an artist turned into an unexpected journey through local history, Ancestry.com, and historic newspapers. Though honestly, that’s one of the best parts of museum work.

Bella Vista llama could still break a world record after his death
BELLA VISTA, Calif. — A beloved Bella Vista llama who may have been the oldest in recorded history has died, but his journey to the record books may not be over. Shorty, a resident of Iron Giants Draft Horse Rescue, died last week at 31 years old. If verified, he would surpass the current Guinness World Records title for the oldest recorded llama, which stands at 27 years. The average lifespan of a llama is between 12 and 14 years.

Redding indoor pickleball courts move forward. New burger joint opens
More than a year ago, Kendall Bachman of the Redding Pickleball Club told me that they had hoped to open inside courts by this year and that their preferred location was next to Grange Co-op in the Raley’s shopping center on Lake Boulevard. The club hasn't opened. But recently, a state California Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control application was posted at the site. The licensee is Redding Pickleball, a limited liability corporation whose managing member is Dennis Shepard. Bachman and three others are also members in the LLC. The application is for a license to serve beer at the club. Shepard told me they are optimistic Redding Pickleball Club will open in January or February. The club will be open seven days a week. Shepard said more details about the club, including a website, will be shared in about a month. They have been working on the project for more than two years. With an estimated 3,000 to 4,000 pickleball players in the North State, Shepard thinks the indoor club will be a popular attraction. Bachman told me last year that the group had looked at the former Big Lots building on Hilltop Drive and the old Joann Fabrics on

Goats! Redding employs time-tested fuel reduction for fire season
Yay! My favorite city employs goats to my neighborhood, and city owned “greenbelt” (read: “fire-hazard”). We awakened to goats outside our back fence this morning and were elated! So glad to see the city being proactive on this, our Urban/Wildland interface. So pleased to see them use this time-honored (not chemical) vegetation management system. We just stood and watched all morning. Yay goats! Thank you Redding!
