Jackson Precinct to Vote on Winery

By Carrie Pond

Murray, KY – Voters in a Calloway County precinct have until next Saturday to register for a special election that could authorize the establishment of a winery in the northwestern section of the county. Calloway County Clerk Ray Coursey, Jr. says co-owners of Stone Brook Vineyard and Winery Ruth and Rita Daughaday have petitioned sell wine by the bottle at their establishment in the Jackson precinct. More than 800 registered voters could take part in the special election, set for January 13th. If the vote passes, the Daughadays hope to open their winery sometime next year.
