Keeping it real in wine country

It sounds more like a Hollywood movie than a sunny afternoon in pristine Napa Valley – a man, shot once already, runs through a vineyard screaming for help on his cellphone while his business partner chases him in an SUV, shooting at him the whole time.
Emad Tawfilis, 48, made it to the road Monday and could see sheriff's deputies arriving. But Robert Dahl got out of his black Toyota SUV, walked up to Tawfilis, and shot him in the head, killing him.
Dahl, 47, got back in his SUV and raced up State Road 29, the main tourist strip in Napa Valley, with deputies in pursuit by car and helicopter, according to Napa County Sheriff's Office. Dahl made a sharp turn onto a smaller mountain road, crashed through the gate of a private residence and drove into the woods. By the time deputies caught up with his car, he had shot and killed himself.
The murder-suicide happened during a break in a business meeting between the two men. Dahl, whose business ventures in Napa were failing one by one, was being sued by Tawfilis over an unpaid loan, and had been accused by him of fraud. Earlier this month Dahl lost several court judgments and he faced a hearing next week on 18 counts of contempt of court.

Buy a full bodied Swanson Merlot, grill a big steak or lamb rack or a good pizza, air it out and enjoy. It will take away any hate for merlot.

The link didn't work for me. Was this recently? I had a friend in Napa last weekend.

Looks like it was the last few days. In yountville, just south of all the restaurants like bouchon and the French laundry, on the service road off of 29.

i was there last week. it was the talk of the town. at first, i assumed a woman, but apparently it was $.
fortunately for the lawyers, they were at their offices on the conference call, while the two dudes were at the same office. I hate to see the lawyers getting shot.

I read about this in the local paper last week. I wanted to post it here but was afraid that it would come off as a cheap arseinclarse imitation.

Dahl is a known scammer in the area.

I don't hate merlot, I just think the scene from the movie is funny.
