The
North Bay Business Journalreported this week that Langtry Farms LLC sued Hugh Reimers and one of Reimers’ companies, Torick Farms LLC, in Lake County Superior Court on May 3. The vintner alleges that Torick delivered grapes that were supposed to be free of “smoke taint” and those grapes supposedly damaged a number of tanks.
At a court hearing on the suit on May 20, the judge noted he has seen evidence provided by Reimers’ side that a manager at Langtry Farms accepted the deliveries and did not raise any question about the quality of grapes. The winery filed receipts from grape deliveries and third-party laboratory test results showing high levels of taint-associated compounds in samples supposedly from tanks associated with those grapes. Both sides will get a chance to submit more evidence and argue their cases at a forthcoming court hearing, tentatively.
