...high-priced coastal enclaves, property owners, many of them from out of state, have built fences, thrown rocks, towed cars and on at least one occasion brandished a shotgun to keep clammers, fishermen and would-be sunbathers off their land. On the Massachusetts island of Martha's Vineyard, a summer retreat for some of the East Coast's most prominent lawyers and businessmen, homeowners have begun hiring private guards to confine outsiders to relatively crowded stretches of public beach...
...writer--left off. The latter was a competent, meticulous, pleasant enough piece about a broad of scandalous foreigners who descend on the placid New England scene. The Bostonians is visually reminiscent of the earlier film, but looks even more gorgeous. Shot around Beacon Hill, Harvard, and Martha's Vineyard, it is so consistently picturesque you almost expect to see Whistler's name in the credits.

...Santa Maria Valley's Sanford Winery and Monterey County's Ventana Vineyards regularly vary their labels: Sanford features wild flowers of the area, while Ventana uses dramatic color photos taken by Co-Owner Shirley Meador. Napa Valley's Frog's Leap has a whimsical depiction of, yes, a frog leaping. Inevitably, the Falcon Crest television series, based on a fictional California wine-making family, has inspired a wine of the same name; made by Napa Valley's Spring Mountain Vineyards, it uses the familiar screen mansion on its labels. A few East Coast vintners have...
