The Reagans raise a few cattle on the isolated spread they bought six years ago, but they use it mainly, and eagerly, as a retreat. And so jealously do they guard their privacy that few outsiders have seen their hideaway. As he looked forward...

From about 30 yds. away the horse responds to Reagan's call, trotting up for a pat on the nose and a piece of carrot...

Most of the bottles shipped by such wineries as Stag's Leap Wine Cellars, Chappellet, Santa Ynez, Burgess, Joseph Swan, Sanford & Benedict, J.
