Haven't been able yet to get the last installment. So, get your old friend to join WTQ... I don't think the issues with wine and transport will go away any time soon--too much money and power at stake, and too much Calvinist viewpoint surrounds any type of alcohol.

He did PR consulting for us for years, and worked for me on the direct shipping issue in the late 1990s, when I formed an organization called Coalition for Fair Trade in Alcoholic Beverages (CFT). I initiated the effort to get a case to the Supremes, and it happened after I sold my winery. Tom Wark is an old friend.
