This is a weekly feature to keep you informed about the real estate happenings in Yountville. Besides just real estate info, I hope to give the readers of my blog some insight into the heart of Yountville using a variety of media including photos, tidbits, gossip and other fun things. If this is of interest to you, I would love hearing from you. If there are other cities here in the Napa Valley, such as St. Helena or Calistoga, you would like this feature expanded to, let me know.

FACTS ETC Yountville Tidbits
This week I decided to include what I will call Yountville Tidbits. These are a bunch of fun, historic or arbitrary facts about Yountville I have picked up through the years.
- The Vintage 1870 (now V Marketplace) originally was constructed as a 400,000 gallon capacity winery by Gottlieb Groezinger. He bought the land (370 acres) from Henry R. Boggs on June 23, 1870 for $11,000, only to see it totally destroyed by a fire on Sept. 20, 1876.
- During Prohibition, Yountville was know as the booze capital of the North Bay, with many arrests and even some deaths attributed thereto.
- In 1924, one of the better know bootleggers, Andy Zandro, proprietor of the Yountville Inn, ran a ring of 5 bootleggers out of a small cabin in the heart of Yountville. He was arrested by the sheriff, Joe Harris, but never brought to trial.
