Meet the Neighbor

Montecito animal rights activist Gretchen Lieff didn’t have to look far when she moved into a new estate.

The property, built in 1964 and designed by architect Carl Hillmann, was right next door to her former Arcady home!

To mark the occasion Gretchen, owner of the La Lieff vineyard and Funk Zone tasting room, hosted a socially gridlocked housewarming barbecue with Thomasine Richards, Kathryn Martin, Brendon Twigden, Lisa Osborn, Edie Caldwell, ubiquitous TV reporter John Palminteri, Cheryl Doty, Ross Anderson, Ariana Katovich, and Mary Ann Storch.
