Grimaldo’s children, now high school students, attended St. James School. “It’s a tradition. You gotta come back and help out.”

Rachel Thompson/News-Register##Marcus Glaze of McMinnville talks wines from Lolati Wines with Theresa Richmond-Woods from Portland. Lolati Wines, with roots in South Africa, is based in Sherwood. Winemaker Leigh Brown notes on the website that her labels are inspired by the Kikoi fabric tradition native to Kenya. The woven and dyed fabrics are used for sarongs, beach towels, tablecloths or clothing. “I have collected many over the years and just love them! All of my wine labels are inspired by Kikoi that I own and use. They are always bright and cheerful.”
