Thanks smt. Of course they got the part of Father Tucker all wrong. He was most definitely not the Kelly Family Priest. Father Tucker left Wilmington Delaware for a position at the Vatican after which he was assigned to Monaco to help bolster the sagging Catholic presence. Not long after arriving there, Rainier appointed him his personal priest and on the story goes. To me the article looks like it doesn't have a lot of material to work with since most of the article is about poor deceased Grace. Kind of sad when you think about it especially where Chris names his company Monaco Financial Management. Talk about using your family. JMO.

I was most surprised that he commented on Caroline and Stephanie while neglecting to make any comment on the Fat Al as Absentee Dad nor on Trampolina. You are absolutely correct -- he lives vicariously off the Fat Al and Monaco connection hence the name of his company. As we both know -- Chris is able to have his lifestyle due to his in-laws

I can't imagine Caroline likes him using her name for the press. Stephanie won't care.

It's probably OK with the kids what he does as long as it looks proper.

Not only the Grimaldis likes to use Grace's image for bussiness. Now, Chris Levine has launched the Grace Winery, and he seems very proud of it. Well, that at least according to that french looney blog.

And a pic of Albert's cousin: -- Chris milks the old cow too

That's a pretty corny name. Very blunt. Has he been socializing with old man Wittstock? Aspiring winemakers and all... (eyeroll) Not only the Grimaldis likes to use Grace's image for bussiness.

Too lazy to think of good a name. And wanted it to be something auntie related so someone might be interested in purchasing it. Result? Grace Winery.
He's been hanging out a lot with Charlene and her crowd/family.
Leecher.

While it does seem that Chris Levine likes being Grace's nephew and likes to hobnob with Albert, in the case of the winery, Chris had a sister named Grace (yes after her Aunt) who died in 1999 of cancer. She owned Sweetwater farm which Chris took over at her death. So it's quite possible that Chris named the winery for his late sister and of course the convenience of her being named after his Aunt. I give him a pass on this one. May both Grace's rest in peace. JMO.

It would be a smart move on his part...everybody relates him to Grace Kelly and often forgets he has/had a sister named Grace...(happened to me, lol) I think that it might be for both. BUT i also think it's more for his aunt than his sister...

That barn looks very hokey compared to some wineries. They should take a tour of real wineries in the Niagara region close by, for tips and style. Ziraldo is available now, as a consultant after selling his winery and his namesake vintage, well... yeah. They'll only produce dry, because they don't have the climate working for them."Gracie"?? Really?? Wasn't Grace Vineyard already a shameless shortcut at "building a name"... ? I could go on.

The December issue of Philadelphia magazine features a cover story on the "families" of Philadelphia. Naturally, the Kellys/LeVines are included. The online version, pasted below, doesn't include the photo of JB Kelly and Chris LeVine in front of the Henry Avenue house ... still, it's a good, albeit brief, read. www.phillymag.com/articles/the-great-philadelphia-families/
