While four cops wrestled to hold back the crowd. Stevenson struggled into La Pantera for dinner with Owner Rena Nicolai and her employees. They pushed...

Only in operatic passages that are datedly lush or flamboyantly melodramatic, or in the winegrower's inept vocalizings to his dead mother, does the generally vintage music turn to ordinary California, indeed even Hollywood, wine...
