Arlington doctor Bobby Smith has been practicing medicine for more than four decades.

He is board certified in family practice with special emphasis in aviation medicine. He works in the office about four days a week, and in the past two years has opened a laser skin care clinic there.

But Smith wears a couple of other hats, too.

He's also a wine-and-cheese maker at La Buena Vida Vineyards in Springtown. The vineyard has been in business since 1972 and started producing grapes and wine commercially in 1977, using grapes grown at his vineyard. Read more

Kraft Foods Inc. managed Wednesday to beat Wall Street's third-quarter profit and sales expectations, even though it was battered by soaring commodity costs, particularly in its mainstay cheese business. Like many foodmakers, Kraft has been battling surging input prices - from wheat to milk to coffee beans. But cheese has been particularly hard hit as its raw-material prices have risen to 'unprecedented' levels, as one Kraft executive put it Wednesday. The Northfield-based food giant posted third-quarter net income of $596 million, or 38 cents per share, down 20 percent from the same period last year. However, excluding one-time charges, Kraft's third-quarter earnings were 44 cents per share, 2 cents more than Wall Street expected. Read more
