...California vintners, late summer is usually a time for crushing grapes after the harvest. But at several of the state's wineries, some of this year's crop may rot rather than become a hearty vintage. A strike by the Distillery, Wine & Allied Workers' International Union that began on Aug. 18 and soon curtailed production at six locations spread to three new sites last week, as workers began picketing the Charles Krug plant in Napa Valley, the Gibson winery in the Central Valley and Almaden in San Jose.
