7. Fact: Vinetur.com Article: Francis Ford Coppola Sues George Giles Beeker, 16 Jan 2025, Napa, Napa, CA. ³ Francis Ford Coppola, the renowned film director and vineyard owner, is once again at the center of a legal controversy. Coppola has filed a lawsuit against contractor George Giles Beeker, accusing him of stealing 26 wine tanks from Inglenook, Coppola's winery in Napa Valley, and selling them without authorization. The case, currently being heard in Napa County Superior Court, includes additional allegations of embezzlement and fraudulent billing against Beeker.

Beeker, who had been a close collaborator of Coppola and oversaw the construction of a 21,500-square-foot production facility at Inglenook, denies the accusations. He claims the situation was a misunderstanding, asserting that the tanks were temporarily stored while he negotiated their sale to recover costs. Coppola, however, alleges that Beeker sold the tanks directly to Calistoga Vintner Services (CVS) for $1.2 million in January 2022. Inglenook reportedly did not discover the alleged fraud until two years later.

In a related development, CVS has filed its own lawsuit against Beeker, accusing him of misrepresenting himself as a legitimate agent during the transaction. Beeker contends that Coppola's lawsuit is retaliatory, linked to a separate legal dispute over a residential property in St. Helena. Beeker claims co-ownership of the property, while Coppola, the sole registered owner, is seeking to evict him. A hearing on the matter is scheduled for April 2025.

This is not the first time Coppola has taken legal action over issues involving his winemaking business. In 2009, he sued U.S. bottle manufacturer Vinocor, alleging that defective bottles and screw caps ruined 50,000 cases of his Encyclopedia wine series. In 2016, Coppola filed another lawsuit against winery Copa di Vino, accusing it of trademark infringement for allegedly copying the label design of his "Director's Cut" wine with their "Winemaker's Cut" product.
