Proposed winery in Catalina opposed by neighbors

A half mile down a deeply rutted private dirt road in Catalina, plans for an aging house and rows of grape vines stretching across a few acres have dozens of residents furious.
The proposed winery on a 9-acre parcel in the shadow of the Santa Catalina Mountains would be a first for Pinal County, but nearby residents are wary that weddings and other events will disrupt their otherwise quiet rural neighborhood.
Their concerns include changes in property values, noise from nighttime outdoor events, a new road and the possibility of drunk drivers leaving the winery.
